selflessly invest in my success. I'm grateful for
my experiences and eager to positively impact
the lives of children.

I'm a first generation college student. When I graduated from
American River College I was the only one of my mother's
children to earn a high school diploma and then continue on
to higher education and earn an Associates of Arts in Liberal
Studies. The Noyce Scholarship will continue to aid me with
guidance and direction in my teaching venture. The Noyce
scholarship has afforded me the ability to continue to believe
in myself. I am able to dedicate my time and energy to being
a successful graduating biological sciences senior. The
scholarship has supplemented my income and drastically
reduced my work hours. Now my goal I'm currently striving for
is to graduate with honors so that I can show my future
students where science can take them. This journey of mine
has been a struggle but is worth every success and trail I
have experienced along the path.

Navigating academia has been a challenge and through my

that science was not for me by teachers and when I
attempted to take biology was removed from the class by my
counselor. This scholarship a platform for me to go back to
high school and make a positive impact in a students life and
encourage students that they can be successful in biology. It
has taken me years to work on my confidence in science and
to believe in myself wholeheartedly to go after a degree in
biological sciences. I have realized that I have to forge my
own path. My career through academia has not been linear
but through a generous scholarship and an incredible support
team my dream of become a teacher seems much more of a
reality.

This substantial financial gift will significantly
ease the burden of tuition and books this year.
It will also allow me more time to research my
thesis, to be completed in my third year, which
(tentatively) focuses on the disproportionality in
disciplinary referrals, suspensions, and
expulsions of children of color. I am dedicated
to ensuring equitable educational environments
for all children.

Louis and Francis Carp Memorial Teacher
Education Scholarship
How will this scholarship help your
education at Sac State?
Florence Szeto
I am a full-time grad student and I also work
full-time in San Francisco. Each week, I
commute up to Sac for two days to attend my
classes. Because I work full-time, I do not
qualify for financial aid; I pay for tuition, gas,
bridge tolls, and hotel stays out-of-pocket. This
scholarship will help relieve the financial burden
of school so I can focus on my education.
