Emely is so gracious in her thanks for the financial support she is receiving from Members.

“Thank you, to all who have supported this Foundation for students who want to pursue higher education. Being a part of Park Springs as an employee and getting to know kind members has been an amazing experience. Having the opportunity to receive this scholarship and having members who care about my college experience is beyond what I could have imagined.”
