Anna Almony Healthcare Scholarship

Established for students in credit/degree programs in Medical Assisting

Grounded in Gratitude Scholarship

The Grounded in Gratitude Scholarship, a $500 annual scholarship for students in General Studies, was established from a place of deep appreciation and personal experience. Founded by a hardworking and compassionate woman who returned to college in her 40s, the scholarship reflects her journey and the support system that made it possible. With the unwavering encouragement of family and friends, she was able to earn her degree and achieve a lifelong goal.

At the heart of this scholarship is gratitude—especially for the strong, supportive women who helped guide her path, most notably her mother. This scholarship is her way of paying it forward, offering encouragement and financial support to a student working toward their academic goals, just as others once did for her.

Students should submit a thank you letter in which the student explains why they chose their major and how the scholarship will support them in achieving their degree and future goals.
