Thank you so much for choosing me to be one of the scholarship recipients this year. It means so much to me to be recognized by a foundation that stands for such strong values and commitment to service as these are very important in my own life. Paying for college has always presented itself as a challenge for my family and this scholarship will surely help alleviate some of the stress associated with financing my future education. Starting this fall, I will be using the scholarship money towards my first year of college at Ball State University where I will be double majoring in Accounting and Finance and minoring in Spanish. This scholarship has inspired and encouraged me to continue to seek out ways to help the community and the world around me, even as I move to a new area. Once again, I would like to thank the Melissa Stoneberger Foundation for aiding me in my future educational endeavors and allowing me to continue to emulate the service and leadership that Melissa Stoneberger exemplified throughout her life.

I am truly honored to have received this scholarship! My parents and I are tremendously grateful that this will be able to help pay for my fall semester tuition at Grand Canyon University. I cannot thank the Melissa Stoneberger Foundation enough for their generosity! I understand that Missy was an extraordinary woman and I intend to live life everyday to the fullest as she did. Melissa’s passion of helping others is one that I share. It is a great joy of mine to be able to assist others and I have full intentions of continuing this shared value at GCU and throughout my life. My primary goal in my future career is to help others and receiving this scholarship is helping me to get one step closer to being able to do this in my chosen career path.

I am incredibly grateful for the scholarship, and the opportunities it will provide for me by contributing to my college education at Biola University, where I will be studying Communications, as well as Journalism. I hope to use what I learn in order to help those in need, just as Missy wished. This scholarship is a blessing in my life, and I know it will continue to be a blessing for many others! ​

I am extremely grateful to the Melissa Stoneberger Foundation for awarding me a scholarship. I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University. Although the opportunity to attend the institution of my dreams comes at a financial cost, this scholarship makes my aspirations more affordable. At Hopkins, I study Biomedical Engineering, while also actively participating in my community—like Melissa Stoneberger. Last year, I participated in an organization that consulted with Baltimore nonprofits to help them expand their efforts. As a member of a design team, I am engineering a device to address an unmet clinical need. In a few years, I hope to work in a biotechnology or medical device company to engineer treatments and equipment to improve people's lives. I am passionate about serving my community, and thus this scholarship will help me further Melissa Stoneberger's legacy of helping others.
