2007 RECIPIENT PROFILE
Staff Sergeant Daina Sites
Meridian, Idaho

He has had little time for pursuing a degree since being deployed to Iraq in 2003 and again in 2006. Daina knew that finding quality employment upon his return would be vital to support his growing family, but it would require a higher education degree. Through this scholarship, Daina will pursue a degree that will afford him stimulating employment opportunities as well as the possibility to become a commissioned officer.
