SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS: OVER $120,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS & BOOKS
List of Student Scholarships and Funds
The Foundation has always made helping students its primary focus. This
year, we continued our extensive scholarship program, and our book fund.
We also helped fund Jump Start--remedial summer courses that give
students a head start on fall classes--plus the Parallel Enrollment
Program, which gives high school students a chance to earn college
credits.
Making brighter futures possible: 3 personal stories
Sarada Conaway, (left), displayed a talent for art in high
school, then did some volunteer teaching after graduation. She liked it
so much, she decided on a career as an art teacher. Sarada qualified for
the Maria Jiminez Memorial Scholarship, studies at Catonsville, and
hopes to enter the Maryland Institute of Art. She is also a volunteer
art teacher in Baltimore City Schools.
Tanwir Admid, (center), a native of Pakistan, is one of a growing
number of international students at Catonsville. With the help of a
Foundation scholarship, he has begun studies that he hopes will lead to
a degree in medicine. "I first thought about being a veterinarian," says
Tanwir, "but I like being able to help others as a doctor." With all the
exciting advances in genetics, he is also drawn to medical research.
