Personal Achievement Award Winner

Being recognized and chosen as a scholarship recipient brings me immense joy and profound gratitude for organizations such as Charity for Champions that generously give to young students trying to obtain a higher education. This scholarship will help me pay for my many years of college as I work towards getting my master’s degree in psychology. After finishing college, I plan on becoming a social therapist; eventually I would like to open my own practice for social therapy and help a great number of people become their happiest selves while simultaneously being healthy.

Extraordinary Community Service Award Winner

As a student interested in the medical field, I hope to attend medical school where I can earn an advanced degree in pediatric medicine. I want to work in a teaching hospital where I can learn from the experiences of other healthcare workers and share my knowledge with new students. I will use my knowledge and skills to help give children a chance at a better life. In addition, I dream of volunteering for Doctors Without Borders where I can travel to other countries to provide families with the healthcare they need in times of emergency. The Charity for Champions Scholarship has helped me in pursuing my undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College. This monetary award will help ease the financial burden of higher education and help me to attend my dream school.
