Peyton DeJong Philip, SD | South Dakota State University, Agriculture Education and Communications “I believe that it is important for me to give back to my community, which has given me so much, and I think that is one of the reasons as to why I am a BURGER KINGSM Scholar. This scholarship is going to make a large difference in my educational career. Not having to worry about money and taking out student loans will take a load of stress off of me and I will be able to better focus on my studies. I am very excited to see what the future holds and can’t wait to go into a career of agriculture and continuing doing what I love.” Courtney Thurston Mechanicsburg, PA | Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Computer Engineering “Coming from a single-parent household, I was lucky to have a mother who was always supportive of me despite our circumstances— our financial situation, my disability, and the after-effects of domestic violence. She supported my research, helped me keep going when I heard ‘no,’ and allowed me to travel for internships even when we couldn’t immediately afford it—she always believed in me. More than anything else, this scholarship means being able to show my mom that she was right: her sacrifices were worth it.” Gloria Tso Bartlesville, OK | Columbia University, Political Science “For some, a scholarship may just seem like a monetary contribution towards one’s future. For me, a scholarship is an emotional contribution—not just a financial investment, but a personal investment of one’s time and efforts into my dream. With this honor, I can garner the bravery to move forward in my education and studies without having hesitations. I have a plan not just for my future, but for the future of the world—and I will do whatever it takes to see my plan through.” TM & © 2016 Burger King Corporation.
