Inspirational scholarships are awarded to individuals who are inspiring themselves and others to make a positive difference in the world. A 19-year-old nursing student received financial support to go to Africa to help with the AIDS victims there. Vincennes University student and scholarship recipient Janelle Rawles said it best in describing what her scholarship support meant to her when she stated in her thank you note: "I greatly appreciate your generosity...this scholarship comes at very opportune time. It helps to relieve some of the financial strain in our household, and for that my family and I are truly grateful!"
