“I am first of my family to go to college and with tuition rates going up almost every year it has being very difficult to afford tuition plus childcare expenses; this scholarship will be of an enormous help in my pursuit to become a teacher. I want my future students to come into the classroom eager to learn something new. I believe it is our duty as educators not to provide students with answers but rather with the tools necessary for them to explore and become independent learners.”
Christina Diaz-Carreon
“Frequent mobility, unexpected schedule changes, and the unpredictability of what the future holds in your spouse’s career can certainly hold back a military spouse. While attaining my doctorate will equip me with additional skills, it’ll also provide the opportunity to fulfill my dreams. The educational sector also offers the flexibility a military spouse depends on. I can accompany my spouse while still pursuing my own career goals and modeling goal setting and achievement to my sons.”
