Amish Descendant Scholarship Fund
I am announcing to all who might be interested that the Amish Descendant Scholarship Fund is now taking applications from eligible candidates. For more about this, please visit The Amish Descendant Scholarship blog.
If you know of anyone who left the Amish and is in the process of acquiring a college education, please let that person know about the scholarship. Those of us who have gone down this road know what a struggle it is, and we are reaching out to others who are in that struggle now.
Here are a few visual images to show the move from an Amish parochial school to Smith College, which is my experience.
I feel so grateful to have had the Amish experience, and I am also very honored and grateful to have been a Smith College student.
