Anna McCullough, BYU: Midway Boosters Scholarship, Sterling Scholar/Rocky Fischer Scholarship
I am attending Brigham Young University and majoring in elementary education. It meant a lot to receive the WEF scholarship because I was able to save up for future semesters. When I become a junior and start practicums, it will be hard to work and do practicums and so being able to save up because of the scholarship will help with that.

I'm currently going to SUU for theatre tech and design, and this summer is my first study abroad (if travel is allowed), I'm going to New Zealand to study elementary astronomy and cultural anthropology.
The scholarship I got, for me, was very much a chance to breathe. It's strongly helped me get through my first year of college without taking on student loans, which is something I would love to continue being able to do, even though it's tough. I'm so, so grateful for the scholarship I received and for the school and companies/individuals who helped offer the scholarships.

Elle Taylor, University of Utah: Midway Boosters, Sterling Scholar/Rocky Anderson Scholarship
I am currently attending UVU, mostly working on my general classes but I have had some classes that work towards my finance degree as well as some science courses because I hope to get into the medical field. I am also in the ROTC program and the classes that I take for that are a ton of fun and I’m learning a lot. My scholarship that I got helped a ton with my financial situation that I had last semester. It meant a lot coming from important people in our amazing community. Thank you!

I am currently attending the University of Utah and earning a Modern Dance BFA while taking prerequisites for medical school. Receiving a WEF scholarship made my transition to college a lot less stressful for me and my parents. This scholarship made it so I could focus my finances on textbooks and other materials needed for my education. I am so grateful to have received a scholarship from WEF.

Tanya Nava, University of Utah: Heber Valley Oral Surgery University of Utah Business
My full name is Tanya Nava Feliciano, I am 19, and am attending the University of Utah. I was planning to major in Linguistics, but now since I am involved in the Business Scholars Program, I am leaning more towards Business Management or Marketing.
The Wasatch Education Foundation Scholarship has helped me with paying the first couple of months of my rent and buying the materials I need for school. I am very happy that Heber City has given back to me with a scholarship because it’s not ideal having my Mexican hardworking, single mother pay for all my education. I’m very grateful for the community we have here. I do all the good things in my career for my mother because I’d like to relieve some stress off her shoulders, and this scholarship is only the beginning of my career.
