THE JILL MAURER-CAMPBELL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
of $500.00
goes to
Rhonda Drewes sponsored by her Father,
Bill Drewes (E-206)
(Rhonda Drewes holding her Gold Award)
I just graduated from Locust Valley High School and will be attending Binghamton University in the fall. I plan on majoring in the sciences, specifically Neuroscience. I love psychology and math and plan to enroll under a Pre-vet track. I've always been interested in wildlife. I love to help people, so a Pre-med track is possible as well. I want to either go to veterinary school or medical school after my undergraduate education. I want to be able to help people or animals in a way I could pursue my interests in the sciences and mathematics. I also cannot pursue a career where I'm not making a difference, so helping poverty stricken areas with a medical degree or saving animals from brutal conditions is something I look forward to. I have and will always been interested in helping people and animals and
will continue doing so in the future.
Thank You for awarding me this Scholarship.
