Jennifer Geisler Memorial Scholarship
Jennifer Geisler was a loving mother, sister, and daughter who demonstrated an incredible dedication to her family and pursuit of a higher education.
While attending college, Jennifer worked 2-3 jobs to help support her family and remained an involved mother to her two children. Even though it was not always easy, she completed her Masters degree from Carlow University, and got a job being a special education teacher.
Unfortunately, the financial and time commitment can deter parents of even the highest intelligence, work ethic, and potential from pursuing a higher education.
This scholarship aims to take some burden off of dedicated parents who are finding time in their busy schedules to pursue their education.
Any undergraduate student who is a resident of Western Pennsylvania may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they are a parent.
To apply, tell us about your experience as a parent and how your parental status has impacted your academic journey.
