 | Cecilia Person met her Marine Corps husband while completing service in the Peace Corps. Currently stationed in Yuma, Arizona, Cecilia is using her $3,000 Bruce & Suzie Kovner/ThanksUSA scholarship to continue a Nursing major at Arizona Western College. Cecilia will continue her academics with the ultimate goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. |
| To complement her studies, Cecilia has joined the Student Nurse Association. She received an award for academic excellence from the Officer Spouses’ Club and has been hired as a Nurse’s Assistant at a local hospital. Each member of the Person family demonstrates a strong commitment to service. Even Rottweiler Zandry is training to become a Therapy Dog for Pet Partners, an organization that brings the healing affects of animals to area hospitals. |  |
| “Your support and contribution to my education will not only have a positive effect on my life, but for my family as well. Not only does this scholarship reduce the financial burden of school, but it will also extend throughout a lifetime as I advance in my career from a registered nurse to a nurse practitioner. Thank you so much.”
