FEATURE
“Thank you for awarding me this
scholarship and supporting my future
academic endeavors. By approving
my application, your foundation is
doing more than giving me money
towar my tuition, you are empowering
me. Entrepreneurship has become
something I am very passionate about
and thankful for. When I rst began
building my marketing products
company in my junior year of high
school, I never knew it would have such
a profound impact on my life. Building
Magnet Marketing Services has taught
me more about perseverance, creativity
and ingenuity than any other activity I
involved myself with in high school ever
could. With the help of this scholarship,
I am able to continue my entrepreneurial
efforts through college and use funds
that would have otherwise been put
aside for tuition towards growing my
company and creating jobs for students.
Thank you for helping me accomplish
my goals and empowering me to be
better than I ever imagined I could be.”

Four-Year Scholarship 2016
“Thank you for awarding me this
scholarship. I am especially grateful
because the promotional products
industry is a big part of my life. I work part
time for my mother’s company [Potenza
Promotions, LLC]. There were many late
nights stuf ng goodie bags for her clients’
events, and moving boxes from one place
to another for packing or unpacking,
depending on the event. Whenever I
had time between my schoolwork and
baseball, I would try to do jobs for her that
would help ease her load and also help
me earn some extra money to save for
my upcoming college expenses. It is very
rewarding to be out at a game and see
someone wearing a shirt she designed,
or to see a bumper sticker on a car that I
know she made for a client. It makes me
proud to be a part of her company in the
small way I can contribute.”
