The Garland County Chapter of the Arkansas Alumni Association has chosen to award Omega Sanders with a $1,500 scholarship for the 2011-2012 school year. When beginning her college search, Sanders, a native of Hot Springs, looked at the University of Arkansas as the ideal place to spend the next four years. After visiting the campus, not only was the location close to home, but the atmosphere of the campus made her feel right at home.
“I would like to personally thank you for choosing me as a recipient for the Arkansas Alumni Garland County Chapter Scholarship in the amount of $1,500. This scholarship will make a difference in my education by providing me with money to put toward my education at the University of Arkansas, and it will drastically reduce my financial burden,” she said.
She plans to pursue a degree in animal science, with an emphasis in pre-veterinary medicine. Setting academic goals for herself, she plans to make her studies a top priority. Although she is unsure of which student organizations she will participate in, she knows that the university will provide multiple opportunities to get involved.
“Thank you again so much for choosing me as a recipient for the Arkansas Alumni Garland County Chapter Scholarship. I really appreciate it!”
