Pam Liner

Admissions Manager at NASCAR Institute

"We love to be able to offer this to the student because we know that a lot of these students [are] sometimes ... the first generation that is actually attending college, so the parents aren't familiar with how much it costs or ways to fund it, so this is very welcomed."

Joshua Jenkins

Student at NASCAR Technical Institute

"The Imagine America scholarship was very beneficial to me. Like I said, it helped me afford to come to school and I think it will be beneficial to other students."

Steven Phillips

NASCAR and Automotive at NTI

"I felt just happy to have some type of scholarship because I come from another state, and a lot of the scholarships that I could be eligible for I couldn't get because I was moving to this state. So I was happy to get the Imagine America scholarship."

Robert Armstrong

NASCAR Technical Institute

"I was astounded ... Like I said, it was a relief to know that something that I have done in the past came back and actually helped [students] in the future."

John Good

Admissions Representative at National Institute of Technology - Cross Lanes

"The Imagine America scholarship is a scholarship that has really awarded ... senior[s] coming out of high school and given them more opportunity to pursue [their] education ... financially. Plus, also, giving them recognition that they deserve between their peers and their home high school."

Patricia Betts

Guidance Counselor at Pin Hills High School

"Because the Imagine America scholarship will allow the students here going on to a two-year program or two-year propriety schools pursue a higher education, an Associate degree, that can go on to a Bachelor's degree. More importantly, they can be gainfully employed a lot quicker than those going to a four-year traditional college or university because the jobs are out there."

Brandon Taylor

Student at The Art Institute - Color Arts

"I was so happy. It was less I had to pay for college. I was just so happy. It helps my education so much more because my mom is a single parent and getting the Imagine America scholarship helped out a lot."

Brandi Webber

Associate Director of Admissions at The Art Institute

"I've worked with lots of students that have received the scholarship ... It's exciting when a student receives an Imagine America scholarship because it really does help them overcome some of their financial obstacles."

George Pry

President of The Art Institute

"Number one, it's given us a different light to them, in the sense that we are out giving some scholarship money. Two, it's made them think of us. Because before, they're not thinking of us, they're thinking of colleges and universities, more of the traditional higher education, and it's a way for them to step back and say wait a minute, there is a scholarship program here, that you are gifted in art, whatever the field they're going into. And so it's made them stop and think."
