2022 Lilly Endowment Community Scholar Announced
|
|
“The opportunity presented to me, by winning this scholarship, is phenomenal. Receiving this scholarship, takes away the burden of tuition, which will allow me to focus my efforts toward my intended field of study, mechanical engineering. I am so thankful for the opportunity presented to me by both the Henry County Community Foundation, and the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship. I also would like to thank, all of the teachers and mentors who have helped me along the way. I would not be where I am today, without the help of my parents and family, or the teachers and advisors who forged me into who I am as a person. I am incredibly excited about this opportunity, it is an absolute honor to receive such a prestigious award.” -Ben Jacobs
