Columbus Technical College dental hygiene student Cheyenne Forbes
celebrated her birthday in grand fashion on September 19. That's because
late that afternoon, her name was called as the winner of the 2012
Emile T. Fisher Dental Scholarship. This additional $400 will be a
welcomed addition to her family's bank account as Cheyenne and her
husband are both full time students at Columbus Tech. She will graduate
in May from the dental hygiene program in May and her husband is taking
core classes in hopes of transferring to engineering school. The
couple's busy life doesn't stop there; they also have a 3 1/2 year old
son. In her application Cheyenne wrote of how expenses can add up and
having some extra money set aside for school will help soften the blow.
"Every semester, we struggle to come up with the money to pay for
books," she wrote. "We also have day care to pay for. I would also like
to purchase a board review book to begin studying for the boards next
summer."
Cheyenne Forbes hopes to work at a private practice after she
graduates from Columbus Tech and wants to find ways to give back to the
community as a volunteer helping educate people on the importance of
dental health.
Director of Institutional Advancement Gloria Dodds says this year saw
more applicants for the Fisher scholarship than ever before and the
scholarship committee had a tough time deciding on a winner because
there were so many qualified students from which to choose.
