Morris
Receives Merit Scholarship
CONCORD- The Granite State College Alumni Learner Association recently
awarded
Jennifer
Morris
of Gilmanton a $1,000 merit scholarship in recognition of her outstanding
academic achievement, thoughtful career path and dedication to achieving
lifelong goals.
Morris
is currently working toward her self-designed Bachelor of Science degree in
Human Resource Management with a concentration in employee relations at
Granite State College. In addition to maintaining a 3.92 grade point
average,
Morris works fulltime
as a Human Resources Administrator at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford.
She also volunteers as a member of the board of directors for a number of
local organizations including the
Horizons
Counseling
Center.
“I am so grateful for this scholarship,” said
Morris
who intends to pursue a career in human resource management upon graduation.
“Due to special circumstances I am currently the sole breadwinner in my
family and financing my education has become increasingly difficult.
This award will make pursuing my education possible and is especially
helpful since I am only four courses away from completing my degree.”
Morris
is one of ten deserving Granite State College students selected this year by
the ALA Board to receive an ALA Merit Scholarship,
“The awarding of these scholarships is truly an honor and a privilege that
the board thoroughly enjoys,” said
John
Paine,
Chairman of the ALA Board of Directors. “Having the opportunity to
actually make a difference in the life of a Granite State College learner is
remarkable.”
More than $110,000 in scholarships has been
awarded by the ALA
to deserving Granite State College students since 1990. Its
scholarship program is funded by donations made by graduates of Granite
State College.
In addition to their fund raising efforts, the Granite State College ALA
also works together with current Granite State College students, faculty and
staff to promote the College in the community and throughout the state and
to support the institution’s educational mission.
