 | Air Force dependent Brianna Cupp was awarded a $3,000 Pershing Square Foundation/ThanksUSA scholarship to continue undergraduate studies at Stetson University in Florida. The daughter of a Purple Heart recipient, Brianna majors in Sociology with a minor in Education and the Certificate of Community Engagement. “My dream is to be able to have a positive impact on the lives of children. For me this will be in the form of becoming a Social Worker and working as a case manager for children in the foster care system." |
| "I want to be a role model and source of inspiration to help push these children into better futures than they think they can obtain. I believe in the potential of these vulnerable children and I want to teach them to believe in themselves.” Brianna is a student of the Honors Program and serves as a Student Ambassador. She is also a member of the Bonner Program, an organization dedicated to community service and social justice. Through Bonner, she volunteers at a group home for teenage girls in the foster care system assisting with homework and acting as a mentor and guide to the girls. |  Brianna with a fellow Student Ambassador |

I cherish the opportunities that this scholarship has afforded me.” Right now, your contribution to ThanksUSA will go even further in helping students like Brianna thanks to The Kovner Challenge Grant.
