From Emma Miller: “We started working on this fund a long time ago and it feels amaz-
ing to finally reach our end goal and award the scholarship money to someone who is
working hard to overcome the challenges of studying without parental support. If you
come from an Amish background and wish to go to college, please get in touch with us.
We are here to offer encouragement, answer questions and to give you the chance to
win the scholarship next year.
We will tell you a little bit about our scholarship winners so our donors know where
their money has gone. Thank you to all of you who have helped by donating to ADSF.
Our first scholarship of $1000 goes to Marietta in Florida who is finally
pursuing her dream of going to college. She is just starting out and we are
happy to be able to offer her a little bit of financial support. She strongly
feels that God has led her to start her journey in studying Business Man-
agement and she is excited to be working on her prerequisites.
Our second winner of the ADSF scholarship is Ruth. She left the Amish
many years ago in order to continue her education, but with no financial
support, she found herself working full time and studying part time. Final-
ly, 14 years later she is close to finishing her goal. She wishes to use her
education to help people and she's studying Social Work and plans to work
with teenagers.
