| Faces of the Aquinas Fund |
| Each student who receives scholarship monies from the Aquinas Fund has
a compelling story.
Here are a few of them: |

 |
Nicole Parker '09
"The financial aid package hands down was why I choose Aquinas. I was intending to go to an all-black college and then I received the scholarship package from AQ." Since coming to Aquinas, Nicole has had first-hand experience with faculty members who are willing to sacrifice their time to help students succeed and has been given opportunities that have helped her to grow. "I am studying community leadership and political science and would love to go into non-profit administration working with youth." While a student, Nicole has been very active in diversity activities, track, church and special service learning trips. |

Stephen Simon '10

It’s beautiful and is close to everything.” He also likes the small class sizes and the atmosphere of professionalism. Stephen is a junior majoring in Communications and Public Management and plans on going into the music industry or becoming a professional photographer. Stephen works in the Advancement Phone Center, is president of the community Action Volunteers of Aquinas and has traveled to most U.S. states in the Americorps. |

John LaCross '09
John, a senior majoring in History and Theology, plans to teach in a Catholic High School and eventually will pursue a Masters degree in History. If it weren’t for the scholarships received John would not have come to Aquinas College. In addition, he also liked the Theology program, the style of education received at a small college, the interaction with his professors and the great campus life and beautiful atmosphere. While an Aquinas student, John has played guitar in the Bukowski Chapel Music Ministry, taken a Service Learning trip to Selma, Alabama, been a member of the AQ Light High School Retreat Planning team, a Student Ambassador and tutors Chemistry. |
