The Impact of Scholarships

Kathy Jones BA ’23
Albert Stark Scholarship Fund Recipient

“The prospect of returning to college seemed daunting, especially considering the financial challenges. Receiving the Albert Stark Scholarship was a tremendous blessing during my last year at TESU. Recognizing the valuable assistance I received, I felt compelled to pay it forward. The Philanthropy Cord Program was a perfect way to support a fellow future TESU graduate. As my late mother said, ‘If each one reaches one, we can all rise together.”

The Impact of the Annual Fund

Paul O. Olorunda, MSHLS ’24

“My zeal and passion for self-growth and strong dedication to protecting the United States energized me to start my master’s degree in Homeland Security at TESU. I am now an officer with the Department of Homeland Security, and I love what I do every day. This is a milestone achievement for me that hasn’t been easy. I am proud of my accomplishment, and I am particularly grateful for all the support that Thomas Edison State University provided.”
