>> To me, being a Stamps scholar means more than a commitment to excellence and the academic
pursuit, but a commitment to better the community that's brought me here.
>> It's a challenge. It's a challenge to be your best self, which is exciting and terrifying
at the same time. The best part about challenges though, people are providing a means to achieve
it. So it's really cool.
>> The Stamps Scholarship was definitely a huge, huge draw. And along with that, the
new Center for Manufacturing Excellence was really, those were two of the key things that
kind of drew me to Ole Miss.
>> I was really interested in learning Chinese. And Ole Miss has what I consider to be the
best Chinese program in the country. So that was a really big draw. I have actually been
looking at Ole Miss since my junior year I think, maybe even earlier. Even if I hadn't
gotten the Stamps Scholarship, I probably would have been really interested in coming
here because it had everything I wanted. And it was already a good price. But getting the
scholarship definitely sealed the deal for me. I hadn't even heard back from a lot of
my universities, but I knew that this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. And it
was everything I needed and everything I wanted.
>> It was just such an eye-opening experience when I came here and realized all of these
experiences I could have if I attended Ole Miss. And so I definitely think that those
opportunities that are available to us are going to be key factors in the degrees and
dreams that we're trying to pursue here.
>> I know a lot of people down here have spoken about how great of a school it is. And you
come out of the honors college, you've got a great education off the bat. Plus Stamps
is offering this $12,000 of enrichment. It gives you unpaid internships if you want to
study abroad, anything like that. So like if I were maybe this summer go out and say,
oh I want to intern at a med school to see what it's like, or at a hospital. I can pay
like to stay in an apartment or whatever, so that way I don't have to take money out
and do that. Stamps is already helping me to cover that.
>> I think that the Stamps enrichment will really be a big factor in what I'm able to
do outside of the school here.
