Nichelle Camp ’22 Recipient of the Wayne County Health Care and Newark Campus Center scholarships “My time here at FLCC has been nothing short of amazing! I am grateful for the numerous relationships I have made, the connections to some of the staff who work hard to assist me with tasks, and the opportunities that I have had and continue to receive as a student at the College. “Although there were many obstacles to overcome in the short amount of time that I have been a student here, I feel that I can truly say that I turned out better because of those challenges. “I graduated last May with my associate in health care studies, and I am proud to share that I was accepted into the FLCC nursing program! My greatest ambition would be to continue all the way through until I become a nurse practitioner, but for now, I am learning to take things one step at a time and just enjoy the moments that are still yet to come!” THELAKER | 17 e FLCC Foundation awarded more than 170 students a total of $176,000 in scholarships funded by local families, businesses and organizations for the 2022-23 academic year. e Foundation manages more than 100 scholarship funds for incoming and continuing students.

Sacheli ’22 Recipient of the Bill Parham Memorial Endowed Scholarship “I graduated high school in 2019 from Marcus Whitman with the highest honors as a straight-A student with 32 college credits from AP and Gemini courses. I then spent two years attending the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. “But then, into my second year in college at Syracuse, my mom was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. This made me want to leave Syracuse to come closer to home. For the past year I’ve continued my studies, now in engineering science, here at FLCC. “I mention all of this because my struggle at home, worrying about my mom and seeing her ill, is the largest reason why this scholarship is so helpful to me. It’s one less thing to worry about.” FLCC Trustee Santa Abraham and her husband, Matt, created the Geneva High School Alumni Scholarship and met the 2022-2023 recipient, Calvin VanDerlike, at the Constellation Brands Scholarship Reception in the fall. Calvin graduated at the end of the semester with an associate degree in criminal justice.
