密歇根州立大学丹佛分校扩大了标兵奖学金计划
文/琳恩·温特
Transformative gift from Rob and Molly Cohen makes college dream possible for more students.
Thanks to a generous new financial gift to Metropolitan State University of 丹佛, the 科恩标兵奖学金项目 在大学范围内帮助有需要的学生.
A previous donation from Rob and Molly Cohen launched the program in 2017 to support 密歇根州立大学丹佛 student-athletes.
但是这对夫妇, who has supported the University and its mission for decades, wanted to help a greater number of the hardworking and tenacious 密歇根州立大学丹佛 students who they say are transforming the city, 让国家和世界变得更好.
“Molly and I learned early in our lives that if you’re blessed and you’re given gifts, then what really makes this world a special place is when you pay it forward, 当你回馈他人的时候,罗伯·科恩说, IMA金融集团董事长兼首席执行官. and a former longtime member and chair of the 密歇根州立大学丹佛 校董会.
The Pacesetter program doesn’t just provide financial support for students but also funds wraparound services, so students feel fully supported through their respective academic journeys. 根据扩大后的计划, 大约20%的获奖者将是学生运动员, but the scholarship will also benefit students who aren’t in 体育运动.
At a recent reception honoring the gift and scholarship expansion, 密歇根州立大学丹佛分校校长珍妮·戴维森说, Ph.D., said the Cohens “are the heart and soul of so many parts of this University.”
“To me, Rob and Molly are the epitome of civic leaders,”她说。. “他们从内心引导. Their values are used in everything they do to lead their company as well as their family, and we like to think of ourselves as part of your family as well.”
布里特妮·科曼当然知道.
第一代学生，2020届毕业生, she spoke at the reception about how the scholarship made her education at 密歇根州立大学丹佛 possible. Kocman’s mother died in a car accident when she was just 14 years old. 她的主要目标是让她妈妈感到骄傲, and her love for sports and learning kept her focused on that goal.
She made the track and cross-country teams as a walk-on while working part-time and going to school full-time. 但是平衡这一切开始变得太困难了. 她的教练, 詹尼斯·克里斯托弗, submitted her for consideration and Kocman was selected to be one of the first to receive the Pacesetter Scholarship in 2017.
She graduated with a degree in Applied Mathematics and now works at Lockheed Martin, a feat she accomplished with the help of Rob and Molly Cohen.
“To this day I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone more loving and caring than they are,” Kocman said. “他们是我真正的家人. 归根结底，这关乎家庭, and supporting students in need that aren’t afraid of dreaming big and working hard is what the scholarship is about. 即使一切都对他们不利, 简单地说, no one’s uncontrollable circumstances should keep them from achieving their goals.”
Junior women’s tennis player Kayla Myburgh of Australia has been a Cohen Pacesetter Scholar for three years and says that the support from the program helps her focus on her dream of earning a degree while playing the game she loves.
“This scholarship has given me the opportunity to take my mind off worrying about making ends meet,”她说。. “To be able to have that financial stability to play tennis, 去上学并完成我的学位是不可思议的.
展望未来
新的科恩标兵奖学金项目, 哪一个将在2023年秋季发射, 是学生获得奖学金的队列模式吗, 根据他们的需要提供支持性服务, mentoring and programming to help them thrive during their time at 密歇根州立大学丹佛 and all the way through to graduation.
The cohort model gives the students a sense of belonging and provides them with programming that helps them navigate the college experience. Students will also engage in activities designed to “pay it forward,回馈学校, 社区和其他学生.
The Cohens hope their recent donation will inspire others to be a part of the Pacesetter Scholarship Program and grow the endowment up to $20 million, which would support up to 80 students every year in perpetuity.
“任何人都可以参与其中的副总裁克里斯汀Márquez-Hudson说 大学的发展 和执行董事 密歇根州立大学丹佛基金会. “The end goal is to attract additional donors who want to join with the Cohens to create a comprehensive program that can achieve a terrific impact in perpetuity.”
