Brittany Brocker: It makes a big difference for me just because
I am paying for school on my own, so I have a lot of loans and stuff. And anything that
I don’t have to pay back is fantastic, because I work a lot.
Ryan Stewart: Scholarships help relieve the stress and help
relieve the hours that I’m working. So less stress, less work hours is definitely beneficial.
Heba Mohammad: The scholarship that I was able to receive
was a Global Studies Scholarship, and that scholarship is funded solely through professors,
which is really awesome and really intense for me to understand that professors are willing
to put their money forward to help a student like me travel and experience those kinds
of things.
Jolanda Sallmann: It’s really a nice way to, you know, recognize
her legacy and continue to make change that she would’ve liked to have seen made -- both
exposing students to these international issues, but helping support them in their efforts
to create some sort of more socially just society.
Nonglee Moua: If I didn’t get this scholarship I actually
probably would have (taken) a second job over the summer -- actually no I would’ve (taken)
a third job over the summer and probably worked two jobs outside of school. And I would probably
be living on ramen noodles and eggs.
Mike Jackson: It’s a little emotional, it is, to meet
her, see the person that’s going to get the money, that’s going to benefit from
something that we did. It brings the reality of doing something like this that you know
is the right thing to do but then you bring the human element back into it because we
have the opportunity to meet her. That kind of completes the circle.
Rob Cera: Founders Board members are passionate about
wanting to find ways to make meaningful financial differences in the lives of students and certainly
through the scholarship program that is involved in and run through the UWGB Founders Board
group.
Brocker: I’d just like to say thank you for my scholarships.
It’s really important to me since I’m paying for school on my own. I can’t say
thank you enough.
Stewart: Thank you to the family of Craig a. Mueller
as well as all the other donors. You guys have made a big difference.
Moua: You guys inspired me. Yes.
Mohammad: Thank you to anyone who donates money to these
programs. I really can’t express how much of a difference they make to students’ experiences
in college and just in general in life.
