About Ava
It is an honor to be receiving a VAW/VRC Lockheed Martin scholarship. This scholarship will allow me to continue studying history on the pre-law track and to continue immersing myself into my school’s community. I am extremely fortunate to have been chose for these scholarships, as they will make my next year in school stress-free with respect to finances. Growing up in many different cities and even countries, the Navy has been constant in my life for nineteen years. Whether it be going to a friend of my dad’s for a cookout or going to a hangar for a holiday celebration, the Navy community has always been just that – a community. So, thank you to the donors and to the VAW/VRC Merit Scholarship program for making my undergraduate education easier. I am truly grateful and will make the most of it this next year.
