Indiana University School of Social Work, student smiling at cameraShelby is currently pursuing her bachelor’s in Social Work. She welcomed her son at age 19 which she says shifted her entire perspective on work. She recognized that she wanted to not just work a job that provided for him but rather find a career that ever so slightly changes the world, making it better for him and future generations.  She is officially halfway through the BSW program and is ready to continue on this journey of change. Her message of appreciation to you reads:

“Thank you so much for this scholarship as it will help me stay on track with my education.  Thanks to you I will be able to afford the expenses necessary for my living, ensuring that I can focus on both my education and volunteer experience. Not only that but with this additional funding, my stress levels will be lowered meaning I will be a better student and parent. I cannot thank you enough for funding me now so that I can pursue my dreams in social work.”
