Take a look at the impact the scholarships had on the recipients who received last year’s Ron Marshall Scholarship:
Olivia Limberger, White Glove Rentals, Aberdeen, Md., who also received an ARA Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship worth $3,500 for a total of $4,250, said, “My goal is to expand White Glove Rentals into other regions. To accomplish this goal, I must first obtain an education. The ARA Foundation’s commitment to the young rental players does not go unnoticed — it is paramount in the longevity and success of the rental industry.”
Tyler Hurst, Power Pro Rents, Ringoes, N.J., who also received an ARA Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship worth $2,000 for a total of $2,750, said, “I have been a part-time employee working at an equipment/rental dealership after school and summers for the past several years, saving to go to college. While at Millersville University, I will be studying construction management. Taking what experience I already have and combining that with new ideas, I am confident that I can contribute to the ongoing success of the rental industry. Thank you for investing in the next generation.”
