Megan McConnell, 17, of Montgomery, AL, earned her scholarship as a high school student taking online college courses through Troy University's "Accelerate" dual enrollment program.
She is working toward her bachelor's degree in interpreter training at Troy, in hopes of becoming a sign language interpreter for deaf schoolchildren. She also would like to start a deaf ministry at her church.
For Megan, earning her degree will mean more than job security. "The main reason I want a degree," she says, "is so I can help others and serve them."
