Liz 2025 Wings Over America Scholarship Recipient
“I am extremely honored and excited to receive the Wings Over America scholarship for the 2025/2026 school year. Receiving the scholarship will allow me to focus more on my schoolwork than having to be concerned about making the money to pay for school.
I also find it very affirming to receive this award, which is based partially on my scholastic ability. This award has also boosted my confidence and is encouraging me to continue reaching my goals. My goals include completing this bachelor’s degree in Family and Gerontology studies in May 2026, and then continuing on for my master’s degree in counseling. This will allow me to move forward with licensure as a counselor, which is my end goal. Another goal that I have is to publish a book to help others. My husband proudly served in VP-4 and VP-24 [Maritime Patrol] squadrons and searved for a total of 22 ½ years in the US Navy, and is now retired as Chief Petty Officer. He is also blessed by the scholarship. He loved his time in aviation in the US Navy and the scholarship continues to affirm his time there.
Thank you again for this incredible gift of the $5000 Wings Over America scholarship! I promise to give it my all, excel, and graduate strong!”
