"My JU scholarships have allowed me to pursue my goals. Honestly, if it wasn't for the scholarships, I don't know if I would be here or not. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have been given by JU, through the scholarships as well as other school activities. Because of these scholarships, I have been able to grow not only as a person, but I have been able to beat the statistics by becoming a college student. The scholarships I have received I do not take for granted, nor are they in vain. They play a bigger role in my life, showing me the importance of giving as well as education, than one could probably think. When I do become a successful, prominent figure in the future, I will be able to look back and proudly say that the opportunities given to me at JU helped me get where I am now, and for that I will forever be grateful. I wish to be able to play a role in pouring into Jacksonville University and its future students just as JU has and continues to pour into me." -- Arrianna George, Freshman, Nursing |
