Boaz Hanson

I would like you to thank Activated Ministries for awarding me this scholarship, it could have not come at a better time. I wouldn't have been able to register for Fall classes without this miraculous intervention. This scholarship will help me pay for my tuition this upcoming Fall semester. It will mitigate the amount of time I have to devote to work during the semester. This scholarship will allow me to take full advantage of my opportunity to study and keep my grades up at the University of Texas. Read more about Boaz Hanson

Hi, Activated Ministries I want to thank you for accepting me for the Recognition of Service scholarship. This scholarship will be a big help for my financially this year as Florida is voting to lessen the amount of money given out to Florida resident students. I am excited to be in my last year of undergraduate and preparing to get my Master's degree. Your scholarship is helping to make it possible for me to continue my studies in getting a Masters in Divinity. My dream is to go into full time missions and with this scholarship it is another step in that direction so thank you. Read more about Luke Brendle
