Meet a Student Recipient

"Receiving the Susan Colby Maly Scholarship has been such an honor. In my application, I wrote about my grandpa's impact on my life, and how cancer has affected him. I know he would be so proud of me, knowing that I received a scholarship that was written about him.

I am a senior at CMU now, and will begin my student teaching in the fall. My hope is to teach in my hometown of Flushing, MI, once I graduate! I love working with young children, and would love to have the opportunity to work in a kindergarten or first grade classroom.

I would like to thank Tim, his family, and everyone who has donated to this scholarship. Not only did it help cover the cost of college, but it also reminded me of how many people are affected by cancer each and every day. 

Thank you all so much!"
