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.”
