Thank you for applying for the Cathy Jacobson scholarship. It’s something that I created in my late wife’s memory. Cathy cherished education and its ability to help change lives. This essay response should discuss how you can raise awareness in your community of The Power of Education and how you could serve as a role model for others who are considering advancing their learning.*

The hope is that by serving as a role model you can help change the lives of others who are considering doing what you have done. At this point we don’t want you to implement the plan just asking you to tell us what could be done to raise awareness of how your experiences can help change lives
