How did a scholarship impact Andrea Gregory-Kreps\u2019 life for the better? The better question: How didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt alleviated the immediate stress of applying for bank loans and the long-term stress of repaying them!\u201d said Gregory-Kreps, a 1999 Lilly scholarship recipient. \u201cThe money my family saved by not having to pay my college tuition was used to help fund college tuition for my two younger sisters. Also, I was able to use money saved from not paying tuition and put it toward the purchase of my and my husband’s first home.\u201d<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Agriculture Communication<\/h3>\n

Thanks to the scholarship, Gregory-Kreps was able to graduate from Purdue University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Agriculture Communication. The relationships and skills she built during her undergraduate years led to an assistantship with the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service (CES).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CES funded the completion of my MSEd in Curriculum and Instruction through the Purdue College of Education,\u201d she said. \u201cI worked for years for Eli Lilly in Lafayette writing training courses for their laboratory and quality control areas. Later, I returned to Purdue and worked for the Purdue University Center for Cancer Research as the Senior Research Administrator.\u201d<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.jaspernewtonfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/JNF_Lilly-Scholars_Andrea-Gregory-Kreps.jpg” alt=”Andrea Gregory-Kreps, Lilly Scholarship recipient.” title_text=”Andrea Gregory-Kreps” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Financial Support for College Impacts Everyone<\/h3>\n

Relationship skills and finding more meaningful professional opportunities are not the only benefit that scholarships offer. The financial support also allows graduates to focus on their post-collegiate lives without the weighty burden of student loans to repay and the scholarship helped put money directly back into the local economy.<\/p>\n

Gregory-Kreps would have still attended Purdue without the scholarship, she said, \u201cbut I may still be paying off the loans!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving the scholarship allowed my husband and I to put money toward the purchase of our first home instead of repaying TWO sets of college loans,\u201d she said. \u201cMy husband’s was enough!\u201d<\/p>\n
