Meet Dawnn Winge, a second-year Biology major in the
College of Arts and Sciences. In addition to her
studies, Dawnn works part-time at the University and
is involved in community service projects. With the
support of a scholarship, she is receiving a
first-rate education. As Dawnn says, "If it
wasn't for the scholarship, and the donors who made
it possible, I wouldn't be able to attend UM."
Dawnn's ultimate goal is to go on to medical school
- possibly at the University of Miami - and become a
radiologist.
Dawnn knows first-hand the importance of
scholarships. They allow the University to attract
and retain the very best students. As government
support decreases and tuition increases, competitive
financial aid packages allow us to compete with the
nation's foremost universities for outstanding young
men and women.`
In fact, over 75 percent of all students receive
some form of financial assistance. Without this
support, the University would lose a number of
highly qualified students each year.
Scholarships have been crucial to the
University's growing reputation as a leading
intellectual center. By making a scholarship gift,
you will have a hand in preparing the leaders of
tomorrow while ensuring the future vitality of the
University of Miami. |
