Erica Hodge is a prime example. She thought her college career was over and her
dream of a nursing career was dead.
But the Germanna Guarantee Program kept the 1999
Spotsylvania High School graduate and Culpeper resident going.
Hodge didn't qualify for other financial aid because her
husband made too much money before his hours were cut due to the recession. GGP covered the total cost of her tuition and books.
"Fresh out of
high school, I was too young to know what I wanted to be. I realized that nursing is what I want
to do,” she said. After being a stay-at-home mom for years, she was on her way
to her goal when it looked like the recession was going to stop her cold in
2009.
"I wasn’t
eligible for any grants or scholarships based on my husband’s income level,” she said. “The Educational
Foundation listened to my story… I was shocked, ecstatic and very grateful. It
covered everything. That was huge weight off my shoulders after one of the most
stressful months of my life.”
She received an academic excellence award for having the highest grade-point average in her class, was a speaker at 2010 graduation, and became a nurse in the Fredericksburg area.
