I am currently an advertising major with a business minor and plan to transfer this degree into a career in the promotional product space after college. This money will help fund my tuition while helping me focus more on my education and spend less time on my job during the school year. So far, my experience at CU Boulder has been everything I imagined and working combined with scholarships are the ways in which I am able to continue. Thank you for allowing me to pursue my education and my degree through your generosity.” Ashley Drake 2020 Chairman’s Scholarship “During these unique economic times, a lot of companies pulled their scholarships due to funding cuts. …[My father] is in the promotional products business, and when COVID-19 struck, his business ground to a halt. When PPEF reached out and notified me that I had been awarded a one-year scholarship, I was beyond joyful. My family is so thankful that PPEF continued their scholarships during the virus to help provide for people!” Blake Casner 2020 PPAS Scholarship “I would like to thank you for choosing me as a recipient for a PPEF scholarship. Your generosity will help my family afford my tuition and textbooks for the 2020-2021 academic year. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on my parents’ promotional products business, so receiving this scholarship is especially important for us this year. I am honored and incredibly grateful to the Nadel Family for helping me to pursue my academic goals.” Samantha Allman 2020 Jack and Marty Nadel Scholarship FEATURE | PPEF Scholarship Recipients 2020 52 | OCTOBER 2020 |
