Scholarships for All<br />

Meet Melania Zandomenego, a 28-year-old married<br />

mom <strong>of</strong> three. One would think that having<br />

three young children at home would be enough <strong>of</strong><br />

a challenge for anyone, but Melania is also a<br />

full-time <strong>Georgian</strong> <strong>Court</strong> senior working on a<br />

degree in elementary education and mathematics.<br />

Most nontraditional students, like Melania, face<br />

enough challenges returning to school without<br />

affordability adding to their burden. <strong>Georgian</strong> <strong>Court</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>fers scholarships for all students to help them<br />

achieve their goals. Melania herself has received<br />

the Ocean County Women’s Association (OCWA)<br />

Scholarship for two years in a row—a scholarship<br />

specifically created for women from Ocean County<br />

who are re-entering the education field for the<br />

purpose <strong>of</strong> improving their earning capabilities.<br />

jane Lee, OCWA treasurer, says that her ninemember<br />

organization is thrilled to have been<br />

able to keep giving to the women who need it.<br />

And since sponsored scholarships start at a minimum<br />

annual investment <strong>of</strong> only $1,000, even small<br />

organizations and individuals can afford to start one.<br />

for more information on how you can support the<br />

educational future <strong>of</strong> GCU students, please contact<br />

students I teach.”<br />
