The Andes Family Scholarship Endowment

Dr. Jon Andes of the Education Specialties Department and Dr. Laurie Andes of the Teacher Education Department established the Andes Family Scholarship to encourage more SU students to major in the field of education at SU. The Andes Family Scholarship inspires student teachers to excel within their classroom internships, and make a difference in the lives of young children’s educational experiences.

A past recipient, Maya thanked the Andes family “for helping me remain focused on my dream, and enabling me to pursue it with every fiber of my life.” Maya looks back on her time at SU with pride. She credits her professors with preparing her for the professional world and says her internships in different counties on the Eastern Shore got her to where she is now, a teacher in Worcester County, MD.
