Lynchburg, VA (January 13, 2022) – Liberty University student Jazmyne Griffith has been named a Nancy Larson Foundation Scholar and awarded a $1000 scholarship in recognition of her inspiring leadership, personal narrative, and academic achievement.
The Nancy Larson Foundation proudly supports students across the country majoring in elementary education by awarding scholarships to deserving students each year. Griffith is one of five recipients selected from the many applications received by the Foundation.
In her personal narrative, Jazmyne remembered being inspired to teach by her kindergarten teacher. “She would efficiently move from student to student, stopping here and there to correct, explain, or praise each of us. Every day I watched her faithfulness, dedication, and love for her class. She made each of us feel special. From that day on I wanted to be like her – a teacher.”
“Jazmyne’s personal narrative was so inspiring. Her passion for teaching children was evident,” remarked Nancy Larson. “She has the desire, heart, and attitude that will make her a successful teacher.”
Larson, an author, former teacher, and curriculum director, has dedicated her life to advancing elementary education. Nancy Larson Science® K–5 programs are classroom-tested and prepare children for upper-level science classes and careers in science. The program was written to provide in-depth science content in an easy-to-teach format.
