Update on one of our scholarship recipients: Kylie Schaper
Kylie is LOVING Texas A & M University! Last year she lived on campus and became very involved at TAMU. She was one of five freshman chosen to become a member of the TAMU Hospitality Committee that officially welcomes you to Texas A & M! She was initiated into the Chi Omega Sorority and is living in the Chi-O house this year. Our Scholarship recipient loves her major and was invited and joined two different honor societies at TAMU. And finally, Kylie feels it is important for the youth to understand the importance of exercise and healthy eating habits. Her goal is to reach as many kids as possible to spread the message!
