2017 Scholarship Winners
We would like to congratulate our three recipients of our 2017 Fall Scholarships! Each scholarship was $5,000.
Hannah McKenzie
I am sincerely thankful to the Melissa Stoneberger Foundation for selecting me to receive this scholarship. From the moment I was accepted to the school that I dreamed of attending, Bates College, I began working very hard (through multiple jobs and applying for many scholarships) to raise money so that it would be possible for me to attend. Receiving this scholarship truly makes a huge difference for my family and me in our combined efforts to cover the cost of my tuition.
In addition to how much the financial award will help us, I feel honored to be associated with a scholarship named after Melissa Stoneberger, who, from what I understand, was a remarkable person, and someone with whom I share many values that I consider to be most important. Melissa’s passion for helping people in need resonates with me a great deal. I believe that those values are alive at Bates and that is precisely why I felt so strongly that it was the right place for me to go to college and was undeterred by the financial challenges involved.

I am so grateful to have won this scholarship, I plan to use it to further my education so that way I can hopefully become a doctor and help other people like me. College costs an arm and a leg these days so an Angel was definitely looking out for me. This scholarship will help me pursue my dreams and in turn help other sick children. I can't thank the Melissa Stoneberger Foundation enough for that.
Mariah Bergman
Thank you so much for choosing me as your scholarship recipient. I accept and am beyond thankful for this scholarship. I am planning on putting all the money towards my upcoming spring 2018 semester of college at Grand Canyon University. I am a nursing major and aspiring to become a pediatric trauma nurse. I am financially having to pay for college by myself and this tremendously will help. I am very thankful. With my career, I hope to continue to help kids. This past semester of college I found a local church I love, New City, where I am involved in helping in children’s ministry Sunday mornings. I love helping out in the community as much as I can. As I grow older, I hope I am able to help someone financially like you have helped me because you are a blessing in my life.
