Winning Application

Abbey Patterson
Cedarville UniversityLondon, OH
My name is Abbey. I am going to be a sophomore at Cedarville University. My major is Middle Childhood Education. This means I will graduate with an Ohio teaching license to teach fourth to ninth grade. My concentrations are English and Mathematics. These are the two hardest subjects for children ages 9- 14 to comprehend. I chose these concentrations for that exact reason. I want to impact students in a way that they remember me when times get hard, and they remember how I pushed them to be the best they could be and showed them how to navigate life difficulties healthily. My I will also graduate with a Bible Minor. This is the main reason I chose Cedarville University because I feel that it is essential to be well-equipped with the knowledge and lessons of the Bible before going out into the world to plants seeds for the Lord. I also think it is especially important for my future profession because Middle School is when many students question their beliefs and start exploring religion. Since I will be well-equipped and knowledgeable in the Bible, I will be able to answer any questions that come my way effectively and truthfully. This scholarship will help me be able to finish my degree at Cedarville and help me to keep equipping myself to serve the Lord faithfully while also living like Jesus as an example for my students. Without this scholarship I may have to transfer to a more affordable university.

Abigail Mix
Dallas Baptist UniversityMuskogee, OK
I am currently studying Elementary Education with an emphasis in Spanish at Dallas Baptist University. Growing up, the teachers in my life consistently encouraged me to do my best so that I can achieve my best. They helped me grow to be the person I am today. They taught me academics and how to serve and love others well. The Lord gave me a passion to serve children in this way as well. I gained a love for Spanish after participating in two one-week mission trips to the Dominican Republic. I also had the opportunity to return there to serve as an intern this past summer of 2022. The end goal of my studies is to gain a degree and certification to teach in a school. I hope to be a light to the children and parents that I come into contact with. I have also felt the call to overseas missions. A teaching degree will assist my entry into closed countries and interaction with the natives. Since attending DBU, I have learned much in my courses. I have learned content and techniques so that I can be the best teacher I can be. Because of family circumstances, I am paying for school myself. When I was in high school, my father was diagnosed with a liver disease which caused him to leave his job. My sister recently received a kidney transplant in January of 2022 as well. Therefore, most of our income goes to paying hospital bills and other necessary daily needs. This scholarship would greatly assist in my studies. I would be able to focus more on my academics and attain a degree instead of worrying about how I will pay for the next semester. Thank you for the opportunity to complete this application!
