Daniel Tarpy

Dear Activated Ministries, 
 
I would like to express my thanks for being accepted as a recipient of the IROS Scholarship for the Fall Semester of 2013. Being a recipient of the IROS Scholarship has been a great blessing to me in helping to defray my tuition costs, as I’m sure it has been to numerous other students as well.
 
Since applying for this scholarship I have graduated from my undergraduate program at the top of my department and I was chosen as the valedictorian for my college campus.

Kovacs Andras

 I would like to express my gratitude towards Activated Ministries, and all those making this program possible! Thanks to your donation I can continue my studies in Hungary, to receive a bachelor’s degree in business and economics. It is a true blessing to be able to continue school despite these hard economic times. In fact, I have already started to make use of the things I’ve learned here, like making financial decisions, learning new languages and communication skills. I couldn’t have done it without your help. God bless you! Read more about Kovacs Andras

Sara Goff

I was overwhelmed with excitement when a friend recommended the IROS scholarship program to me. After applying, I must admit that I was very anxious awaiting the initial response from the program. When I heard that I would be receiving a grant from Activated Ministries, I was so thankful to hear the news. It is not always easy for working students, such as me, to juggle work and studying at the same time. With your help, I will be able to dedicate more of my time to my academic goals.
