College Scholarships and Organizations

I have been involved in many different organizations and scholarship programs throughout my college experience so far. The first thing I have been a part of is the Teaching Fellows program. I applied for Teaching Fellows as a senior in high school and was so excited when I was offered a scholarship at Lander for Teaching Fellows. Teaching Fellow has given me so many amazing opportunities so far and I hope there will be many more. Another organization that I am a part of is the Kappa Delta Pi Education Honor Society. This is another education organization that I am so happy to be a part of because it is with people who enjoy and are going into the same career that I am. These are two things that I am really proud to be a part of and have helped shape me into the person I am today.
