I have been interested in Floral Design for many years now but I always thought it was something that I wouldn't be able to pursue until much later in life due to other financial responsibilities. Thanks to Activated Ministries and their fantastic scholarship program I have now started an online Floral Design course with Penn Foster.  Read more about Elizabeth Forsberg

Dear Activated Ministries,

I am writing to thank you for the award of the IROS scholarship. I am so grateful to be a recipient of this financial help toward my social work degree. It will be a welcome addition to the bills for the spring semester here at Baylor, and a real answer to my prayers! I actually cried a little when I received the news that I was one of the recipients…probably because I was so touched at the acknowledgement of the missionary work that I and my parents have done that this scholarship represents.
