This year, junior biology students Bria Moneaux and Jordan Nelson were presented with $1,500 scholarships. 

"They both exhibit unwavering dedication, consistently going above and beyond inside and outside the classroom to propel the organization forward. Their relentless commitment to our shared objectives makes them highly deserving candidates for the Edwin E. Vallery scholarship,” Washington said about the recipients. 

To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must be members of the Collegiate 100, full-time students, and maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA. Recipients are selected based on their involvement and participation within the organization. 

Scholarship Recipients“Having been awarded the scholarship has, and will, move mountains regarding my financial and academic affairs here at 四虎影视 and beyond,” Nelson said. “It inspires not only myself, but my peers to continue exemplifying excellence, integrity, and a willingness to keep learning as we strive to be catalysts for reform -- both inside and outside of 四虎影视 and our community.” 

Moneaux and Nelson credit the organization with providing them with a vast range of opportunities to grow professionally and build relationships with peers and mentors. 

“This organization has not only shown me the importance of effective followership and leadership but also enhanced my public speaking skills, enabling me to express my ideas with greater confidence,” Moneaux said. 

Moneaux and Nelson hold titles of president and vice president, respectively. 

“As the advisor to the organization, my ultimate aim is to foster its growth and ensure its members graduate,” Washington said. “Throughout this journey, I aspire to provide them with abundant opportunities and experiences, nurturing them to become the future leaders of the Cardinal community.”
