Take Jadon Bianchi. He tells us he was told as a teen that he’d never amount to anything. What does he do with that? This young man is pursuing a cybersecurity degree at Southeast. He’s determined. He’s driven. He is going to be something. Full stop.

Jadon is also responsible for paying for his own education to achieve his big goals. He received a scholarship from Southeast that pays for some of his school. He works. He is securing an internship to make sure he has relevant job experience when he graduates. He is connecting with other students and getting involved on campus. He is doing all that he can to succeed.

Jadon is the case for endowed scholarships personified. He is a student with good grades but not high enough to pay for all his education. He is doing his part to learn and grow and succeed. He is contributing to campus. And, he is working hard to make it happen without going into debt.

These are the SEMO students who benefit when you support scholarships. These are the students whose lives you help to transform. This is the impact you make. And, we promise, it is worth every penny.
