Knowing she wanted to attend a small college campus, Lindsey Spradlin (Hometown: Jackson, Ohio), decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps, who was an alumna of the Radiologic Technology program at 51.
“Looking up to her all of my life, I wanted to follow in her footsteps and pursue a path through the Rad Tech program,” she said.
Seeing the benefit of attending classes on a small campus, Spradlin has been grateful for the opportunities she has to connect with those in her program.
“Having small class sizes really helps me make connections with all of my peers and professors – forming relationships that will last a lifetime,” she said.
Receiving the Legacy Scholarship as part of her financial aid package to SSU, Spradlin sees the benefit the financial assistance gave her to pursue her career goal of eventually becoming a traveling Radiologic Technologist.
“Being a recipient of the Legacy Scholarship is a great honor that I hold,” she said. “Having the financial help that this scholarship provided for me was another major reason I knew Shawnee was the college for me.”
Incoming students to SSU have a number of financial aid opportunities tied to merit performance, financial need, and individual situation. To learn if a student qualifies for an additional scholarship, they should first complete their application to the university and also submit their FAFSA – Free Application for Student Aid – for the coming academic year. Many scholarships are determined automatically while some require additional application. For more details on scholarship opportunities to SSU, visit shawnee.edu/scholarships.
