As a social worker, I want to be able to advocate for pregnant women who may be socially disadvantaged, such as minorities and those of low socioeconomic status.

Thank you so much for choosing me.  As a new student at Middle Georgia State University, this means a great deal. 

Words cannot express how grateful I am and how much of a blessing this is to me and my family.

Psychology (BS)
Anna M. Nemec Memorial Scholarship

I am a first-generation psychology major and am passionate about helping others through grief.  I also strive to learn as much as I can about different cultural and racial groups by minoring in history.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You have allowed me to pursue my passion for psychology.  Because of you, I am one step closer to being a licensed therapist.

As a Goldstar child of two veterans, I have grown up with strong examples of leadership, dedication, and perseverance, all of which have influenced my personal and academic achievements, inspired my professional career goals, and instilled my resolution.  The aviation program at MGA will provide me with the experience, equipment, and skills needed to make an impact on young women who dream of a career in aviation.

Thank you for selecting me.  I am sincerely grateful for your generosity and support.  The financial assistance you provided will help pay for my education and allow me to concentrate on obtaining my degree.

Keyana Parks

Nursing (BS)
Karen L. Core Scholarship

During my junior year of high school my love for nursing was established, and I realized what I wanted to do in my life.  During the pandemic I was approached by the South Central Health District and offered a position as a COVID-19 contact tracer/case investigator to decelerate the spread of the coronavirus.  I felt there was no greater way to serve the community that I grew up in.

Thank you so much! This means everything and more.  I honestly and truly appreciate your support through this demanding yet rewarding program.  I look forward to making you proud!

Patrick Johnny

Aviation Science & Management (BS) 
Charles and Betty Heard Scholarship

I was given an opportunity to begin my aviation career as a pilot for airplanes and helicopters.  As my time at MGA wraps up, I look forward to being a certified flight instructor at the aviation campus.  Afterwards, I will move on to SkyWest Airlines, where I have been awarded a cadet position in their regional pilot program.

I am honored to have been selected to receive this scholarship.  Your generosity affords me the opportunity to continue my educational pursuit in aviation. 

I plan to work for the MGA flight department.  By doing so, I will be able to teach and influence the new generation of aviation students as others have done before me. 

You have allowed me to pursue my dreams.  Thank you.

Ryan Wilson

Aviation Science & Management (BS)
Jake Boney Soaring with the Angels Scholarship

During my junior year of high school, I began work on attaining my private pilot’s license.  I flew whenever I could, perfecting the flight requirements and studying hard for the FAA ground school test.  I earned my private pilot’s license right before I started college.  I would love to become one of the certified flight instructors at MGA, where I could teach others and share my passion for flight.  Upon completion of the aviation program, I would like to be hired by one of the major airlines (i.e., Delta) and begin my career as a commercial pilot.

I was thrilled to learn of my selection for this honor and am deeply appreciative of your support.

I often mentor young athletes at an annual football camp, where I teach them about service to others while teaching the rules of the game.  I am pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant and currently working to become a personal trainer.  I hope to inspire others.

This is my second semester at MGA.  I have lived in the middle Georgia area for the last 17 years.  My mom is a veteran and my dad is a reservist.  This scholarship will help me pursue my educational goals and impact my life for years to come. 

As a future healthcare provider, I will be able to give back to my community.

Thank you.

I was and still am adamant to prove the doubters wrong by aiming for greatness in everything I do.

I am sincerely honored to be a recipient of the scholarship.  I would also like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support of students who need it most. 

As a student of this prestigious institution, I am so appreciative of the support you have shown to me as it relates to pursuing my dreams/passion.  I have always had a desire to work in aviation, and thanks to your generosity, I am one step closer to making this dream a reality.  It is my hope that one day I will be able to “pay it forward’ and be a catalyst for someone who needs the support I have so graciously received.
