Burkiewicz, member ofBranch 31: “I would like to thank the HRFA for offering this scholarship to me. As many college students and parents would agree, college expenses are on the rise and therefore every little contribution brings us one step closer to our degrees. I was very honored and proud to receive this reward, all made possible with the help of Mrs. Emma Áros. I am grateful for her concern. For the past year, I was attending Bowling Green State University. While there, I mainly studied biology. Because of my academic achievements there, I was asked to become a member of the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society. Since I have decided to pursue a career in the medical field, I will be transferring to the Ohio State University because of its highly developing medical facilities and courses. I plan to receive a Bachelor’s degree and possibly further my education pending job opportunities. In addition to going to school full time, I work in order to help pay for college tuition. Currently, I am employed with Clearview Local School doing secretarial work in the main office. Once again, I would like to extend my tremendous thanks for your help in funding my college education. Know that your assistance will be appreciated as I pursue all my educational goals.” year college students.

Scott Fazekas, member of Branch 4: “I would like to thank the HRFA for the aid they have given me. It has greatly improved my chances of completing my collegiate goals. I am studying Math Education at Heidelberg College in Tiffin Ohio. While at school, I am working at the Admissions Office giving tours to prospective students. I have also worked in the cafeteria and in the athletic office. While at school, I have been given a lot of special opportunities. On campus, I am living in a college house that runs all of the Campus religious events. This past summer, I traveled to the Bahamas to perform with my college Jazz Band. I am also a member of a local fraternity, where I’ve learned a lot about both leadership and being part of a larger organization. After college, I hope to teach somewhere in Ohio, so I can stay close to home. Thank you again for helping make all of this possible.” Scott was recommended for this award by Branch Manager Jolán Abel. James J. Kish, member of Branch 501: “In the years of past, the common man didn’t need to attend college in order to provide for himself and his family. Higher education was reserved for the privileged and scholars of the day. Their curriculum was not only designed for its scholastic purposes, but also to develop a young mind into an understanding of self.
