Caelyn McHarney
Psychology and Religious studies
St. Lawrence University New York
I am a sophomore at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. I am on the women’s basketball team and the women’s outdoor track and field team. I currently am a double major in Psychology and Religious studies. I am very thankful to receive this scholarship because it gives me the opportunity to live out my dream of playing collegiate sports, while double majoring. Also, this scholarship will help me pay for my tuition this year, and not take out loans. Recently, my parents have taken on the responsibility of caring for my grandmother who is going through multiple intense chemo-therapy sessions. Since she has multiple sessions throughout the year, she is unable to work. So, my parents have also taken on the responsibility of paying her bills and taking care of my uncle who has Down syndrome. This scholarship helps my family, because it is one less bill my parents have to worry about. I am very thankful for the opportunity to apply and receive this scholarship.

I am truly blessed today, and no number of words can be as impactful as a simple 'thank you.' Thank you for the opportunity to succeed and continue working on what I am passionate about, I hope that one day I will be creating life-saving technology accessible to all.

Fayetteville Technical Community College
First, I would like to thank the Combat Control Association for giving me this opportunity and awarding me with this generous scholarship. I am attending my first college semester at Fayetteville Technical Community College. My Major is Game and Simulation development, so I am going into the computer science field. This scholarship will help quite a bit; even with the in-state tuition, my family is still paying around $1,000 for my tuition, not even including books. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to earn enough money that we can continue paying for my education and no longer have as much fear of going into debt.

I appreciate this scholarship and what it will do for my future. I am a freshman at Texas A&M, and I am pursuing a degree in Kinesiology. I am also a member of the Corps of Cadets, Squadron 5. I am not on a military contract for this year, and I will not have that opportunity until my Junior year, so this scholarship will help pay for my tuition and other college costs.
