Scholarship Spotlight: Raechel

We are excited to announce this month’s scholarship recipient, Raechel.

Raechel is currently a student at Ozarks Technical Community College (OTC). In October of this year, she plans on applying for OTC’s nursing program.

Raechel grew up a part of the BGCS family.

“The Boys & Girls Club provided a home, a safe space and an all-around positive environment.”

Club scholarships benefit members, alumni, and staff. For Raechel, receiving this scholarship allowed her time to figure out her passions and give school a second chance.

“Getting back into school is scary after being out for 10 years,” Raechel says. “With the Club’s motivation, I feel like I have been given another chance to go after my dreams.”

These scholarships allow past students to explore a new path and build a great future for themselves.

“Thank you for making my dreams come true, not just with financial help, but with the courage and motivation I have learned through my kid years at the club,” Raechel says. “Those tools alone still push me to shoot for the stars till this day!”

We are extremely proud of Raechel, and wish her the best of luck as she pursues the nursing program this fall!

Stay tuned for more scholarship spotlights!
