Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ biomedical sciences majors Daniel Salas and Ekaterina Karelova are the first Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ recipients of a new scholarship from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation geared toward DirectConnect to Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ students. The new scholarships are from an endowment fund created by a partnership between the Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ Foundation and the foundations of Eastern Florida State College, Lake-Sumter State College, Seminole State College and Valencia College.<\/p>\n

Salas and Karelova started their first semester at Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ this fall and plan to attend medical school after their 2016 graduation.<\/p>\n

Salas, who is from Miami, attended Valencia\u2019s Osceola campus<\/a> and will continue classes at Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½\u2019s shared campus there. Careers in physical therapy or cardiovascular surgery are two areas of his interest.<\/p>\n

Karelova, who is from the country of Georgia, attended Valencia\u2019s East campus<\/a> and will continue classes at the main Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ campus, Karelova moved to the United States on an international study program when she was 16. She aspired to be a journalist and received an Associate in Business degree from Everest University. Soon after, she changed her career goals and applied to Valencia to pursue a career as an anesthesiologist after medical school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were other options, but DirectConnect to Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ was the best option possible,\u201d said Karelova about deciding on her plan for college.<\/p>\n

The Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ College of Medicine at Lake Nona is among the medical schools the two scholars intend on applying to. Johnson Scholars are a cohort of students chosen by the partner colleges. Once selected, they will receive the scholarship until graduation as long as they continue to meet the criteria set by the school. Recipients of the scholarship are deemed \u201cJohnson Scholars,\u201d and throughout their college careers they will have special program requirements that emphasize leadership development.<\/p>\n

The Johnson Scholarship Foundation is a national, private foundation with a mission to assist deserving people in achieving higher education and a belief in education as a means to help people succeed in life.<\/p>\n

Each of the four partner state colleges are responsible for raising $500,000 that the Johnson Scholarship Foundation will match for a total of $1 million for the individual colleges to disburse while the scholars earn their associate degrees.<\/p>\n

In addition, the partner colleges are fundraising collectively for $1 million in scholarships to support their students once they transfer to Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½. The Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ Foundatio<\/a>n is also fundraising for $1 million with the agreement that Johnson Scholarship Foundation will match these contributions with a goal of raising $3 million over five years. These contributions will be held by the Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ Foundation and disbursed to the scholars while attending one of the partner colleges and will continue until completion of their baccalaureate degree at Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½. The JSF Endowment scholarships are designed to assist with unmet financial need and only available to students who participate in the DirectConnect to Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ program.<\/p>\n

The first Johnson Scholars will be recognized at the Johnson Scholars inaugural luncheon on Oct. 14, hosted by Valencia College. The scholars will receive medallions and have the opportunity to meet with the president of the Johnson Scholarship Foundation, Malcolm Macleod.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe JSF Endowment is the first joint philanthropy between community and state colleges and a state university,\u201d said Angela Peterson, associate vice president of Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ regional campuses. The partnership was encouraged by JSF based on the success of the DirectConnect program, which Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ began in 2006 to guarantee entrance and accelerated admission to Âé¶¹Ó³»­´«Ã½ after students complete associate degrees from one of the four partner colleges.<\/p>\n
