Discussion

Final Thought “I financed my undergraduate and graduate degrees through loans, which covered tuition, fees, and textbooks, and the SHRM Foundation Scholarship has helped relieve that burden. For this reason, I feel it is my duty to work relentlessly so that I may help future HR leaders in the same way the SHRM Foundation has helped me.” – Reyna Martinez 2014 SHRM Foundation academic scholarship recipient
