I am extremely grateful to be one of the individuals to receive the Activated Ministries (IROS) scholarship! I was starting to get nervous because my tuition was due. I got so excited when my mom came into my room to surprise me that I received the scholarship! It was definitely an answer to prayer, and I will put it to great use for my education.

Dear Activated Ministries,
Hello, my name is Julia Martiny, I come from a missionary family and I have recently received on of your scholarships. I just wanted to reach out and personally thank you for supporting my education in this way. As I am sure you know, it has been somewhat difficult finding the means to pay for school, however, I knew that God was calling me to study at Liberty University and that he would provide the means for me to do so. Thanks to you I can now continue my dream of becoming and industrial engineer at a Christian University. This scholarship is a huge blessing that will help me immensely and allow me to spend more time focusing on my classes. Thank you once again for everything that you do. May God continue to bless you.
