Jackson Casey Fund/ThanksUSA Scholar Rochelle Rawls

Army dependent ​Rochelle Rawls was awarded a $3,000 Jackson Casey Fund/ThanksUSA scholarship to continue an International Business major and German minor at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro.

She is a student of the Disciplinary Honors Program and will study-abroad at the University of Mannheim during the 2016 Fall term. She looks forward to immersing herself in the German culture and hopes it will help her decide whether to pursue a career stateside or abroad.

An ambitious student, Rochelle earned 26 college credits before graduating from high school in 2014.​ She is involved with several campus organizations including the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, German Club, and Student Veteran's Association. She also enjoys being a member of the UNCG Women's Club Soccer Team.

Rochelle also dedicates much of her time to voluntarism. She has served as a Salvation Army bell ringer, socialized animals for the SPCA, and cleaned up North Carolina during the Audubon Society's Big Sweep event. Rochelle has also assisted local scientists and taxonomists find and record species of snails, slugs, and fish.
