Las Vegas, NV (January 24, 2022) – University of Nevada student Fayth Dean 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. Ms. Dean is one of five recipients selected from the many applications received by the Foundation.
In her personal narrative, Fayth shared, “I still remember all of my teachers. They all taught me things that I will use for the rest of my education and my career. I created bonds with them and they inspired me to do great in school. I want to do the same for my students one day. I want to be the person that inspires them to do great things in life and to continue pushing forward even through the hardest times.”
“Fayth’s narrative and her personal characteristics of being empathetic, enthusiastic, and energetic impressed the committee,” remarked Nancy Larson. “She has shown us that she has the heart, inspiration, and desire to be a great teacher.”
Larson, an author, former teacher, and curriculum director, has dedicated her life to advancing elementary education.
