Eric Sinacori Memorial Scholarship

Jacklyn Adu (BS, Kinesiology)
Jacklyn Adu is a junior kinesiology major who enjoys going to the gym, reading, and all things fashion! She is interested in the field of kinesiology because she is fascinated with the human body and learning about how the body works. She can learn the most about the human body in this field of study, from anatomy and physiology to nutrition and fitness. Kinesiology also offers her a wide range of career choices that she had never considered. Her hope after graduating from UMass is to attend graduate school to be a pediatric Physician Assistant.
I would like to formally thank you for choosing me as the recipient of the Eric Sinacori Memorial Scholarship. I am truly grateful that you took the time to hear my voice. This scholarship does not only mean a great deal to me, but to my family as well. As a first generation student and the child of a single parent, this scholarship will lessen the financial burden on my family. This will also allow more time for me to excel in my courses and accomplish my academic goals. I believe I have a long road ahead of me, and this scholarship will provide me with the support I need to keep going. Once again, I would like to say thank you for believing in me and the career I would like to pursue in the future.
