Since being accepted for the HIV/AIDS in Africa program, I have been applying for scholarships to defray the cost of the program fee. I was selected for the following scholarships:
--Ohio University Summer Travel Grant
--J. Michael Lawrie Global Education Scholarship
--Jeremy Anderson Public Service Internship Scholarship
I want to extend special thank yous to the Ohio University Office of Education Abroad and the Ohio University Department of Political Science for selecting me to be the recipient of these generous scholarships that will go towards the program fee for this trip. I also want to thank Ohio University, J. Michael Lawrie, and Jeremy Anderson for their contributions to these scholarship funds.
Additionally, I want to extend huge thanks to Debbie Marsh, Myra Waterbury, Hogan Sherrow, and Diane Ciekawy for letters of reference both for these scholarships and for the program itself.

Update: I recently learned that I received the Ohio International Consortium Donald N. Nelson Scholarship for Study Abroad. Thus, I would like to add thanks to the following people: Linda E. Marx, Donald N. Nelson, George C. Burke, Jef Davis, Catherine Marshall, and the OIC Scholarship selection committee.

Meredith this is awesome!! We're going to have to get together when you get back so you can tell me all about it! And we can talk about YAV stuff. I bet there are people at church who would love to hear about your trip as well. Maybe you could do a program?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the scholarships! Glad it worked out so well. I'm reading an interesting book about a young woman with a banking background who went to Africa to work with NGOs to facilitate women-owned businesses. Very interesting to read about her adventures, failures, successes. It is called The Blue Sweater. With you, Anneliese, and Anna all spending time in Africa this summer I'm learning a lot from the blogs and will have to do some more reading!

I'm hoping for an opportunity to present some information to the church. As a requirement of the OIC scholarship, I have to make presentations to my school groups. The church will be a good opportunity to practice. My mom already talked to some people about it. YAV is something I definitely want to consider after school.
