Description
Ron Ulmer writes, "The objective of the Ron Ulmer Scholarship is to provide students who may have only average grades and a passion for learning Economics the opportunity to receive a degree in Economics. Economics affords one the ability to have various great careers as well as make better decisions in all areas of life. When I was an instructor I always appreciated average students who had passion for learning and the willingness to work harder and put in more study time than the top students who with moderate effort could earn an A or B in most classes. I relate to the fighters and scrappers and 'late bloomers' in life, having been one."
