Beth Hoffman Memorial Scholarship Fund

By admin
Published: 8 December 2008

For decades our esteemed colleague Beth Hoffman, who passed away suddenly December 1, was intimately involved in FEE’s popular student summer seminars. Few students left a seminar without getting to know Beth and deeply appreciating her thoughtfulness and help. From the planning stages to the actual event, Beth’s imprint on our summer programs has been huge and indelible.

We wish to honor her in a way that speaks to her first love — reaching young minds for liberty — and does so for many years to come. Accordingly, and with the approval of her husband, Peter, and son, Ted, we are pleased to announce the Beth A Hoffman Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund will offer full and half scholarships to students from all over the world to attend our summer seminars.

If you wish to make a contribution, please click the “Donate” button above. Let us know if we may list you on our website as a donor (amounts will be kept confidential). Unless you wish to remain anonymous, we would also like to make your names known to recipients so they may thank you personally by letter.

Thanks for contributing to this memorial to Beth Hoffman and her tireless work on behalf of the cause we share.

My name is Kecia Baker. I am married and have a 3 year old daughter. I just finished my Administrative Assistant program at Virginia College in Birmingham. Currently, I am taking Paralegal Studies at Virginia College Online. I have a 4.0 GPA. I work extra hard to keep this up. I have been on the President’s list every semester since 2006. I love the program that I am in now. I have decided to specialize in youth criminal law. Eventually, I want to become a lawyer. This dream is expensive. The classes at Virginia College are $1,300 just for one class. So, I have to rely on student loans because FASFA claims my husband and I make too much money. I don’t see how when we barely get by. Of course with today’s economy I know I am not the only one. I know so many friends who are loosing their homes and/or jobs. Luckily, we have not had to face that. But, like many Americans we are in debt that is beginning to take its toll on our finances. I don’t disagree that the debt is our fault. I’m not pointing any fingers of blame. I just fear the pay back of the student loans that will be added on top of what we currently owe. So far I have about $20,000 in student loans that I will have to pay back. Unfortunately, this is not going to be the final total when it is all said and done. I realize that I have ten years to pay it back. It just would be easier if I didn’t have to pay more than that to pay it back. I would like to get a scholarship that I could put in a 401K or some other investment account that would grow over the course of time. Once that growth accumulates I can pay the loan off. This way I am not paying another monthly payment that I cannot afford as well as barely paying the interest. Basically, I can use all the help I can get at this point. I have applied for many different scholarships. There have been no acceptance replies. I can’t help but feel hopeless in my search. All I need is the chance. I want to make a difference with my field of choice. Help me make that difference.
