Emily Brockman
- "This scholarship spoke to me as community service is an important part of my collegiate life. I am grateful for this scholarship because I am funding my own higher education. Without Kent State and financial support, I wouldn't have been able to make my own impact on the world in efforts toward making it a better place for others."

Melissa McCarley
- "I am extremely thankful that this organization chose to award me this scholarship. It will help assist with my pursuit of a nursing degree, which is my favorite thing about Kent State. The students and staff are the most incredible people and I am blessed to have them on my academic journey. I plan on demonstrating my philanthropic spirit by adopting families during the upcoming holidays to provide them with things they need."
Madison Snodgrass
- "I am extremely grateful for this scholarship as it helps toward the cost of medical school. As the cost of medical school is very intimidating, I questioned whether it would be possible financially to attend med school but my family and friends encouraged me to no matter what. I am grateful to receive this scholarship because it lessens the financial burden of my education."
