This award will be highly impactful for me, as it will allow me to further my education at Temple University, my most exciting and valuable educational resource. I appreciate the support from everyone around me, including those within the committee who have given this gift to me. Thank you for the consideration, and thank you for the pleasure of working with such wonderful people within the Moebius Syndrome community and beyond.”
Ronald Edmund, University of Maryland
“I am very appreciative of this opportunity to represent the Moebius community at my University. This scholarship will allow me to finish my academic career and continue to positively impact my community through hard work and academic achievement.”
Brianna Kelley, University of Georgia
Receiving this scholarship from the Moebius Syndrome Foundation means far more to me than financial support. Living with Moebius syndrome has shaped my resilience, determination, and perspective, and being selected for this scholarship makes me feel truly seen, supported, and encouraged by a community that understands those experiences. This scholarship will help ease the financial burden of continuing to pursue my PhD and allow me to focus more fully on my academics/research and future goals rather than the stress of how I will pay for my studies. I am incredibly grateful for this scholarship and the encouragement it provides as I continue working toward my future as a researcher/advocate.”
Jessica Maher, University of South Florida
“I’m honored and so grateful to have received this scholarship in order to pursue my graduate degree. My career as an educator doesn’t end in the classroom, it begins there. With this scholarship, I’m able to pursue my Master’s in Curriculum Design and Instruction.”
Kash McFall, Southwestern Oklahoma State University
Andrew Moore, Wichita State University
Moebius syndrome has been a major factor in my life, and I am so glad there are groups like the Moebius Foundation that can help everyone of every ability succeed. I am very grateful to accept this scholarship to help pursue my passion in the field of aerospace.”
Emma Morton, University of Valley Forge
“This scholarship will give me the opportunity to focus more on appreciating my education and representing my community at college.”
Amelea Pippin, Hinds Jr. College
“I am so ecstatic to receive this award. Not only do I represent what Moebius is, but I can also educate the world about Moebius as we grow through our educational journey. We are smart and we are Limitless! Never let anyone tell you differently. I appreciate the panel for taken some of the burden off my grandparents, whom only want me to follow my heart through my education and to be ten times better than they were.”
