Recipient - Military spouse, Germany
Lynette Jones knows all about being a military spouse. She’s traveled the world with her husband as he was transferred from one assignment to another every three years to answer the call of duty. Even now, living in Germany where her husband is currently stationed, Lynette longs to put down some roots and begin taking classes at University of Phoenix. Thanks to the Paying It Forward Scholarship, which her husband nominated her for, she can complete her degree. She doesn’t regret a minute of her role in supporting her husband’s military career and pursuit of education, but now it’s her turn. Lynette would like to enroll in a bachelor’s program for health administration where she will use her new educational background to explore a career field of great interest to her. She also knows that by earning her degree, she will become an inspiration to her three daughters and demonstrate the importance of pursuing an education - no matter how old you are or where you happen to live.
