UHCL student wins national scholarship
Rosselle Helms has been pursuing a bachelor of science in marketing at University
of Houston-Clear Lake for a long time. Having a full time job, being a mother and
going to college hasn’t always been easy, so being awarded the 2018 American Association
for Women in Community Colleges National Scholarship made it easier for her to take
one more step toward her goal of completing her degree by summer 2019.
Helms was selected to win the $500 scholarship on the basis of her noteworthy academic
accomplishments as well as her civic engagement and contributions made in support
of women’s issues. “I live in Crosby, I work at San Jacinto College in Pasadena and
I transferred into UH-Clear Lake,” Helms said.
Winning this scholarship, she said, was especially fortunate for her because she wanted
to take classes this summer toward her degree. “I had a balance due for my tuition
and I was concerned about how I would pay for it but I thought, God’s put me on this
course and He’s going to provide a way,” she said. “This scholarship money helped
me fund that class so I can keep the momentum going. I’m very grateful.”
