The mission of this scholarship is to support students with financial needs who are pursuing a degree in the social sciences. I had the pleasure of being a sister to one of the most inspirational people that I have ever met. She overcame odds to acquire her doctorate of Law degree. I decided that others like her should also have stepping stones along the way that help them get closer to their career goals. As an educator, the social sciences are very important to me. I feel that the best career goals are those that are for the purpose of helping others.
