Gussie Lynn Scholarship
The early years in a child’s life are crucial.
During these formative years, children learn from their surroundings and begin to understand how they fit into the world around them. This process is full of ups and downs, failures and successes that help them learn and grow. But children can’t do this on their own. It is important for them to have strong role models who can help teach them lessons, both technical and moral. The Gussie Lynn Scholarship will support students who wish to make a difference in the lives of children through a career in child development, early childhood education, or childcare.
High school seniors and undergraduate students are eligible to apply if they are pursuing a degree in child development, early childhood education, or childcare. To apply, write about what inspired you to pursue a career in this field and how you plan to use this degree to make a difference in the lives of the children you work with.
