Providing a Path to Leadership

Transcript

At Evangel affordability is a priority. God is placed to dream in every student’s heart and EU wants to make a pathway to achieving your goals. That’s why a hundred percent of students receive an academic scholarship, make it Evangel one of the most affordable Christian private schools in the nation. One of these students is volleyball player, Sydney, who is pursuing degrees in biology and leadership. We’re excited to have you here, Sydney, please take it away.

– Thanks Alex. Sports have always been a huge part of my life. My mom played volleyball at Evangel. So after visiting campus and learning about the Founder’s Scholarship, my decision to play volleyball here was easy. I’ve loved that I’ve been able to serve at Evangel in a variety of ways. First, I was given the opportunity to serve as a resident assistant in Burgess Hall, where I was able to make a difference in the lives of students and create a welcoming community within our hall. I’m also a representative with our athletic conference, which has equipped me by working with student leaders from several universities to actively promote a positive relationship among administrators and student athletes. When I’m not playing volleyball, you can find me in a science lab. Learning about cells, parts of the body, or testing the strength of a magnetic field. My professors, coaches, and even administrators have invested so much time into me personally and I’ve truly provided me with everything I need to one day become the leader I’ve always wanted to be. Evangel has a multitude of opportunities for scholarships. I have been blessed financially through the university scholarships and therefore have been able to experience some of the wonderful parts of Southwest Missouri and the surrounding areas. My friends and I enjoyed the local coffee shops and being a short drive to beautiful hikes and awesome activities in Branson in Northwest Arkansas. I’ve learned so much and I’ve encountered so many positive influences in the Evangel community. As I look at future career in grad school opportunities, I know that Evangel has fully equipped me to fulfill every one of my dreams and make a difference. That’s all from me, Alex, take it back.

– That’s fantastic, Sydney. Evangel also offers prestigious Founders Scholarships, competitive financial awards for excellence and academics, athletics, fine arts, and more. EU works tirelessly to make a way for you to attend. And that is amazing. Take care.
