Three dedicated moms will have a chance to
pursue their next level of education with full-tuition scholarships
from University of Phoenix
Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and University of
Phoenix have again come together to celebrate America’s most
inspirational moms across the country. The hard work and commitment
of three incredible mothers has been recognized by the two
organizations with full-tuition scholarships towards a bachelor’s
or master’s degree from University of Phoenix.
This year’s Most Inspirational Moms include:
- Jennifer Nehez, North Palm Beach, Fla.
– Nehez will return to University of Phoenix, where she received a
bachelor’s degree in 2006, for her Master of Business
Administration.
- Carmen Ochoa, Morena Valley, Calif. –
Ochoa will pursue her Bachelor of Science in Business.
- Katherine Phillippe, Greenwell Springs,
La. – Phillippe will renew her commitment to education by pursuing
a Master of Arts in Education.
“This scholarship is a way for us to acknowledge moms who have
put the needs of others before their own, even if it meant putting
their own professional development on hold,” said Edwin Link,
national vice president of Program, Training & Youth
Development Services at BGCA. “Along with University of Phoenix, we
are so excited to honor these three exceptional women and their
commitment to their communities and themselves.”
“In making possible these scholarships for mothers, we highlight
what they teach all children: the value of hard work and
education,” said Timothy P. Slottow, president of University of
Phoenix. “Mothers embody much of what we value most at University
of Phoenix. They leave nothing up to fate. They sacrifice for their
families. They know pride and humility. They give blood, sweat, and
sometimes, tears. They are an example to us all in defying the odds
and fulfilling their desires and dreams.”
This marks the fourth year of partnership between BGCA and
University of Phoenix to recognize and celebrate the hard work,
leadership and perseverance of mothers who put their children,
families and communities before themselves every day. The energy
moms devote to helping their kids and teens realize their potential
guides their families on a path to success, even while putting
their own goals and aspirations on hold. With the Most
Inspirational Moms scholarship, BGCA and University of Phoenix
acknowledge the sacrifices these moms have made, and celebrate the
many ways that moms inspire others.
The Most Inspirational Moms program promotes a culture of family
achievement and raises awareness about how Boys & Girls Clubs
and University of Phoenix are creating great futures for parents
and youth. The program builds on an ever-growing relationship
between BGCA and University of Phoenix to provide education and
skill-development opportunities for tomorrow’s leaders.
