AWARD WINNERS

We're proud of all our scholarship award winners!

Graduate Scholar Award winner ($10,000)

“I am completely humbled and at the same time overcome with joy for being selected as a recipient of the 2012 Golden Key Graduate Scholar Award. Winning this prestigious award means a lot to me; not only is it an international recognition for me as an individual, for my university, and my country, it is also an inspiration to my children to strive to achieve academic and career excellence. I am extremely grateful for this funding assistance as it allows me to continue my doctoral program in Instructional Design and Technology at West Virginia University without financial hindrance. Thank you Golden Key – you are a strong support and an inspiration to me!”

Spring Education Debt Reduction Award winner ($5,000)

“I am incredibly honoured and thankful to receive the Golden Key Education Debt Reduction Award! I am from Chicago, Illinois, and graduated from Loyola University Chicago in 2010 with majors in biology and philosophy and minors in bioethics, psychology, and neuroscience. It is during my undergraduate studies that I became involved with Golden Key, and I could not be happier regarding that decision. As a current fourth year medical student at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, I am beginning to embark on the residency application process as I aspire to match in a neurosurgical program. This award will be of great help with residency applications and the interview process. It will also help alleviate the financial burden that comes with graduate school. The mission of Golden Key is one that resonates with me, and I am thankful for an organization that values education and celebrates a commitment to life-long learning. Thank you to everyone at Golden Key for this generous award!”
