Meet Parker Miranda

President's Summit Award Recipient

"The President's Summit Award has allowed me to focus on my academics and has given me more time to be involved in campus activities such as club football. It has also given me more time to set new goals academically. Without this award, I would have to manage more financially, making it a lot more challenging to focus on becoming a nurse."

 

Meet Landen Erickson

President's Summit Award Recipient

"As a freshman Engineering student, this scholarship has been instrumental in my success and confidence at University of Toledo by allowing me time to study and interact with campus activities. It has relieved many of the stresses and burdens my family and I would have endured this year. I am forever thankful for the scholarship and being selecting me as a recipient. T-O-L!!"
