Veronica Worley

Biography: Hi! My name is Veronica Worley, and I am in my second year studying Finance at The Ohio State University with a minor in Statistics. While pursuing my degree, I am involved in the OSU Penpals club where I correspond with inner-city school kids in grades 3rd-6th. It is an extremely rewarding experience to play a part in enriching young minds. In the future, I aspire to go to law school and become an agent of change for the voiceless. Law offers coexistence by encouraging constructive dialogue while respecting everyone’s opinion. In a society where compromise is often a lost art, the balance of civility and justice that law offers is one to be admired. I hope to be part of that conversation and make a genuine difference in the world!

Paige Clagg

Biography: Hi, my name is Paige Clagg. I am a high school senior at a small school in Ohio, South Gallia High School. I am also a college credit plus student through Ohio University Southern. My success can be accredited to my parents who set me on my path to achieving my goals. My mom and dad instilled determination, hard work, compassion, and kindness in me. Those characteristics are the ones I have built my life upon.

When I was thirteen, my dad passed away from cancer. That experience left me with anxiety and depression. I struggled with mental illnesses for two years, in silence. The stigma on mental health affected me. I graduate high school in May, and there was honestly a time I didn’t see myself accomplishing that goal. After I graduate highschool, I will be moving on to study psychology at the University of Rio Grande. Due to my personal experiences, I want to enter the psychology field to ensure no other teenager suffers in silence the way I did. I have goals to speak at local schools, spread educational resources, and advocate for teenagers. I am extremely passionate about this goal. I know I have the opportunity to make a difference and impact the lives of others.

Reaction Statement: I am honestly so grateful for this scholarship. The money will go towards my pursuit of higher education and will allow me to accomplish my goal of helping others. Because my dad passed away when I was young, it has been difficult for my family financially. I appreciate this scholarship more than words can express.
