BECAUSE STUDENTS APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!

Words cannot express how thankful I am to have been selected to receive this scholarship. There was a time in my life where I did not think I would amount to much. I was a senior in high school expecting a child and I was told by many that I would end up a high school drop out with no prospects of a college education. Because of these negative perceptions, I once thought an education from the University of Arizona was superior or above me. My life has been defined by constantly battling to overcome being viewed as just another statistic. I tried so hard to prove this to others, only to come to realization that the only person I needed to prove this to is myself. My education is allowing me to be a better role model not only to my own children but to the young girl or boy that feel hopeless and alone the way I once did. I can show them that if I achieved my educational goals with all the adversities I have been through, they can achieve anything their hearts desire. With hard work, perseverance, and a strong will I am on my way to achieving all my educational and career goals. To the University South Foundation and the community members that made this scholarship possible, I am beyond grateful for helping me in continuing my pursuit and allowing me to experience a sense of community support and motivation that I once found almost impossible to receive.

Judy A. Gignac
Memorial Scholarship

Dr. Judith A. Gignac-Leininger was an exceptional individual, businesswoman, and community leader. She was pivotal in the establishment of the University of Arizona in Sierra Vista, which brought first-of-its-kind access to university-level education to residents in rural Arizona. Her belief in public service, innovation, and the advancement of higher education left an indelible mark on the fabric of our community.

​

To follow her work and legacy, donations made to the Judy A. Gignac Memorial Fund are awarded to students in pursuit of business, economics, government & public policy, or related degrees.
