Marci L. Snyder has a full life; she is a mother to two small children, a doting wife, and a project manager for Alcatel-Lucent. When she started at Alcatel-Lucent 10 years ago, she was hired on in a temporary capacity. One of the first people she was introduced to was Rebecca, who was her “angel” and showed her the ropes at the new company. Marci proved herself and quickly rose through the ranks in the company. While she is well-respected by her colleagues, Marci found that, without a degree, she could climb no further, despite her experience. Thanks to this scholarship, Marci found that Rebecca is still her angel, and will be able to fulfill her dreams of obtaining a degree and opening doors that were once locked.
