Quote:

“As the child of a submariner, I am grateful to and proud of my dad. The camaraderie of the community extends in all aspects of life even after retirement from the Navy. I am incredibly grateful for and appreciative of the Dolphin Scholarship Foundation and I am honored to be the recipient of the MCPON(SS/SW) Rick West Scholarship. I would like to thank my family for their
unconditional support in my pursuit of my academic and professional goals!”
