“I will forever be grateful for the scholarship I received. Someone actually took the time to give me a chance.”

Influenced by her mother who received a master’s degree from Bowie State, Jahaziah is focusing her studies on network security. “Bowie State University is the only school that I could afford. Without the Saluda Young Scholarship, I would not have been able to attend college,” she said.

The scholarship is awarded to a Maryland high school graduate enrolled at Bowie State as a sophomore or junior. Recipients must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and be an elementary education major.

As a future educator and member of the National Education Association (NEA), Rosa said she appreciates the small classroom sizes, easily accessible professors and networking opportunities at Bowie State.

After a successful first year, Amber was forced to take time off from college for financial reasons. Fortunately, with a full scholarship, the aspiring entrepreneur was able to reenroll and continue her studies at Bowie State.

“All I can say is thank you to Mr. William R. Teel for giving me a little taste of possible. You really have no idea how much your scholarship has meant to me and my family.”

The New Jersey native is a business administration major graduating in 2018. With a desire to pay it forward, Amber participates in Radiance, a campus organization that mentors young women. She is also a New Student Orientation leader.
