SGT Leslie Palmer, Headquarters Marine Corps

"Receiving the $1,000 scholarship from AeX reinforces how important education is not just to me but to others too. It really shows me how others are willing to help give someone in need an education to better their quality of life. With the money I receive, I won't need to take money from my GI Bill for the spring semester. Instead, I can put it toward my dual degree, when I would need to complete 18 semester hours for the MBA part of my degree plan. Every little bit helps me push myself a little bit farther."
