Like your son Stanley, I’ve been looking forward to college since I was very young and am so excited to be attending Penn state in the fall. I hope to major in nuclear engineering so I can help to make nuclear energy a safe and viable source of alternative energy for our communities. I know that your generosity will help me to achieve my dream, and I hope that I can give back to this foundation and my community as you have contributed so generously to my education.

Receiving the Stanley’s dream scholarship was a huge blessing in helping to pursue my dream of attending Penn state. After graduating with honors in supply chain, I worked at Unilever in a highly competitive operations rotational program. Currently, I’m an MBA student at Yale University, building a strong business acumen to serve as a catalyst for change in underserved communities through entrepreneurship. I’m excited to progress along this journey and truly appreciate your generosity and support.
