Olivia Schade Receives Two Prestigious Scholarship Awards

After many ups and downs and a lot of hard work, Olivia is now thriving at CCP as a Biology major.

This semester, Olivia also received two prestigious scholarships at CCP. The first is a $1,500 award from the American Association of University Women-Lansdale Branch Scholarship, which is given to women entering their final semester. The second scholarship, the Muriel Shapp Award, is given to students majoring in Biology, and Olivia received $925.

Additionally, Olivia was selected to be part of the Bucknell Community College Scholars Program this past summer and plans to transfer to Bucknell University in the fall of 2025 to pursue a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience, with a minor in Biology.

Though her journey has not been linear, Olivia says, “I’ve learned that that is the beauty of life, and I am excited to see where it takes me.”
