| I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for awarding me this scholarship.
With all of the hardships I have faced recently, both academic and personal, it means
so much to me that my hard work and perseverance have been recognized. By awarding
me with this scholarship, you have helped me not only by lessening my financial burden
but also by showing me that I deserve a scholarship and should be more confident in
myself. It is truly a blessing for me to receive this scholarship and I cannot thank
you enough. -Samuel M., '24, Philosophy |
I am sincerely humbled by this scholarship recognition and have more gratitude than
I can adequately express. I am a non-traditional student, which just means I am older
than most, who had a crazy idea to reverse a lifetime regret. I always longed to get
my teaching degree and make a difference in the lives of children, but I only recently
became brave enough to pursue that dream. Being inspired by other older women pursuing
different paths in education, I took a leap of faith and signed up for classes. I
can honestly say I have learned so much and have loved every minute of it. Having
some of the financial burden reduced is a great relief and one less student loan I
will need to acquire. Thank you again so very much! -Rachel S., '23, Teaching All Learners |
Thank you for your generous donation to help me continue my education as a mechanical
engineer. I have learned so much these past three years. I can’t even begin to describe
how valuable this education is and will be. I am currently taking a leadership role
in my internship, where we analyze the energy costs of various industrial plants.
Because of your support for my education, I am making a difference in the society
we live in with the knowledge I have gained. I expect to learn much more in the coming
year and will continue to apply the skills I gain to design new and improved technologies
and reach towards sustainability. My dream is to commission as an Air Force officer
in December 2023, and I hope to serve my country as an engineer. Because of you, I
can make this dream a reality. -John H., '23, Mechanical Engineering |

Before finding out I would receive this scholarship, I began working a second job
in order to pay for my college tuition. When I learned I had received this scholarship,
I felt an immense weight lifted off my shoulders. Therefore, I am very honored to
have been selected as a scholarship recipient for another academic year. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the scholarship. As a student in the DACA program, I cannot
express how thankful I am for receiving this. Thank you very much, not only for the
funds but for the recognition this award provides me. -Nabeel R. '25, Biology |
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to receive this academic scholarship, it means
the absolute world to me! My high school career has been very different from dealing
with Covid and a very catastrophic flood that damaged my entire hometown and took
the lives of many beautiful souls on August 21, 2021, at the beginning of my senior
year. My peers and I have maneuvered many obstacles this school year, and I'm very
honored to receive this award to help further my education. I will continue to work
hard to accomplish all of my goals! I cannot wait to see what my future will bring
while at UofM Lambuth. Thank you again! -Marissa K. '26, Undecided |
The impact of private support is visible across the UofM and reaches throughout the community and beyond. You’ve given our students scholarships, opportunities to participate in hands-on learning experiences and so much more. Every gift works to help create a better Memphis and region.
Gifts from our valued donors are hard at work and have enabled the University of Memphis to achieve many of its goals. Thank you for supporting the dreams of extraordinary UofM students like Samuel, Rachel, John, Esmeralda, Nabeel and Marissa.
