VVOSA Merit Scholar
Area of study | Psychology & Criminology
I am very appreciative of the support the VAW/VRC Merit Scholarship provides to children of military aviators. I have grown up admiring the determination, courage and hard work that my father exhibited while dedicating 29 years to the military. I am eager to find a career path that provides me with as much satisfaction as he found serving his country in the US Navy. The VAW/VRC scholarship bolsters me in that effort as I attend Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA and pursue two bachelor’s degrees – on in Psychology and the second in Criminology. My long-term goal is to attend law school and practice criminal law. Along with pursuing my educational goals, I am a member of Juxtaposition, and all-male a carpella group at Virginia Tech and it’s been an amazing experience to join other students who love to sing. The VAW/VRC scholarship program assists in offsetting the cost of tuition and provides some peace of mind knowing that I will be able to complete my degrees and carve a path forward.
