Today, aviation maintenance technology student Lauren D. Peck shares her Penn College experience and how scholarship support has helped her design the career of her dreams.
“The generosity of donors has taken a huge weight off my shoulders, allowing me to fully focus on my education, excel as a student-athlete on the tennis team, and lessen my post-graduation debt,” the Air National Guard member said. “The support has allowed me to thrive and explore my passions and has prepared me for a future where I can hopefully contribute meaningfully to the aviation industry.”
