"She had about 48 hours to live”: 10-year-old cancer survivor in Virginia Beach gets full culinary scholarship

VIRGINIA BEACH

"Hello there. My name's Abby Furco. Welcome to my kitchen. Come on in, let's start cooking."

First up was Ritzy Chicken Bites, aka chicken cubes coated in Ritz Cracker crumbs.

Then, green beans sauteed in butter and, finally, her signature carrot cake.

The chicken and carrot cake were what she missed the most when she couldn't eat and was battling the effects of leukemia.

"Last summer when I wasn't doing well, I wanted the house to smell like chicken chunks and carrot cake," Abby told about a dozen people Monday at Studio Center in Virginia Beach.

The 10-year-old from Virginia Beach, who was once given 48 hours to live, is in remission for a second time. She still hasn't got all her energy back, but wasn't going to miss her TV cooking debut.

This was her time under a sea of lights in a kitchen made specifically for her.

It didn't matter that the half-hour show will only be seen by family. It was the start of living a dream – one that now includes a full scholarship from Culinary Institute of Virginia, which is worth about $32,000, president Andy Gladstein said.

All this came about after the studio connected with Abby's mom, Patty, after hearing about her daughter's cancer survival story and love for cooking on a local TV station. From there, officials at the Culinary Institute decided to present her with the scholarship Monday.

"It has been a dream of mine for a few years to become a chef, and now to confirm that dream will be accomplished is a lot," Abby said, tears in her eyes.

The gesture gave Chris Wilson, the production company's marketing director, goosebumps.

"With someone that's in Abby's condition, you just never know. This might be something that she'll live for."

When she was 4, Abby was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, Patty said. Abby beat it after three years of treatment, only to relapse less than a year into remission.

In 2015, after beating cancer a second time, a bone marrow transplant left Abby with a host of side effects, including graft-versus-host disease, which is when the donated marrow cells attack the donor's body. She struggled for more than a year during that treatment.

By last summer, Abby had complete organ failure. Doctors said she was out of options, and her family brought her home.

"They said she had about 48 hours to live," Patty said. "Here she is today, a year later."

While in the hospital recovering after her transplant, Abby watched hours and hours of the Food Network, Patty said. Even when she couldn't eat solid food.

"She likes the technical part. She liked listening to people talk about food, she liked watching the food be made."

When her family brought her home last summer, they kept Food Network on, even though Abby was mostly sedated. If they changed the channel, she'd know it, Patty said.

"Her eyes would open, and she would start moaning. I'm not kidding. None of us could watch the Olympics because, at that point, you're going to give the kid everything she wants."

That included the cooking show.

On the set, which had the words "Abby's Kitchen" painted in the background, Abby went over each scene with the director and delivered her lines flawlessly during multiple takes.

"Thank you for joining me today," she said. "I hope we can cook together sometime soon. Byeeee!"

"That was sassy," Patty said. "That's the sassy Abby I know."

Every so often, she asked how Abby was feeling, making sure she wasn't lightheaded or needed a minute to sit down. Because her endurance isn't great, Abby usually cooks at home with her mom's help.

"A year ago she was in hospice," Patty said. "Each day more that we have with Abby is amazing. We are grateful and so blessed to have her with us."

Senator offers scholarship to 880 students

10 hours 42 minutes ago

1

The Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Sen. Mohammed Hassan has offered scholarship to 880 students from his constituency.

The lawmaker, who represents, Yobe South Senatorial District, spoke to newsmen after commissioning various projects in the constituency.

He said the offer was for students studying in all institutions of higher learning across the country.

Hassan explained that the scholarship would be available to 20 students from each of the 44 wards in his constituency.

The lawmaker also promised to pay salaries of staff of the Mohammed Hassan Arabic and Islamic School Arikime at the commissioning of the school.

He further promised to provide uniforms for all students of the school as well as establish three science laboratories to enable them compete favourably with other schools.

Hassan also pledged to donate the sum of N2.5 million for the rehabilitation of another school, Fatahul Rahaman Islamic School.

He said the gesture was informed by his desire to help provide education for as many school age children as possible, adding that, education was one of the greatest legacies to bequeath the future generation.

"I promised as part of my campaign promise to continue to encourage the younger ones to take the issue of education seriously.

"That is why I decided to offer scholarship to 20 students from each of the wards in my constituency.

"We have identified the students attending institutions of higher learning and we will be giving N20,000 to each to them, meaning there will be 880 beneficiaries of this scholarship.

" It is going to be an annual thing to enable the students pay up for registration in school.

"This is one of the ways I feel I should encourage our younger ones to rise to whatever height they wish to without hindrance," he said.

At another event, the lawmaker pledged the sum of N10 million as part of contribution for rehabilitation of the Central Mosque in Potiskum, Yobe State.

The lawmaker said he was poised as a representative of the people to ensure their needs were met.

"I came to Potiskum to among other things, commission a school that I built for the benefit of the people of Arikime community.

"I gave the sum of N2.5 million to another school that does not have classrooms. They do not even have a place of their own, so, I decided to give them a token to support them

"I was equally invited for the launching ceremony of the Central Mosque in Potiskum and I made a contribution on behalf of my family, friends and the people of my constituency of N20 million," he said.

Hassan further disclosed that besides the projects already on ground, plans were underway to construct a knowledge centre to support the youth that have interest in furthering their education.

He stressed that the essence of the centre was to support the students to improve on their secondary school results to enable them gain admission into good institutions of higher learning within and outside the country.

He called for concerted effort by relevant stakeholders, to take the education system in the country to an enviable height.

The lawmaker decried the level of illiteracy among the people, adding that the sector like other sectors, required government and individual intervention.

"If you look at the educational standard of the people, particularly those from my constituency, you will realise that we are down the ladder.

"I therefore want to use this opportunity to call on the Federal Government to continue to support all programmes that will uplift the educational standard of the people.

"I also want to call on everyone who has the wherewithal to support the needy in the society.

"God has created us not just for ourselves, it is to continue to support those who require our support,` `he said.

On the 80-bed hospital he built for the people, Hassan commended the National Assembly for earmarking the sum of N400 million as take-off fund for the hospital in the 2017 Budget.

He said the provision was made following visit of the President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, chairmen of senate committees on appropriation and health as well as other lawmakers during the commissioning of the hospital.

On the abandonment of constituency projects, Hassan called for continuity to ensure sustainable development.

He said a lot of people do not understand what constituency project meant.

"There is this general misunderstanding that with constituency projects, monies are given to legislators to do whatever they want with. This is not true.

"As a representative of the people of Yobe South for instance, I know what my people want and all I need is to ensure that projects that will be of benefit to them are reflected in the budget.

"These projects are domiciled in the respective MDAs and they go through the approval process like other process of approval.

"That is why we always put pressure on the federal government to continue to make releases so that projects can be implemented.

"It doesn't matter if today as a senator representing this senatorial district, I embark on constituency projects, I expect whoever succeeds me to continue with the project.

"Same thing with the executive arm of government.

"Government is a continuum and whatever we are doing is for the benefit of our people because we are to represent them,'' he said.

On the distribution of relief materials to victims of insurgency in the state, the lawmaker commended the federal government for ensuring that his constituency, which had been neglected was being considered.

He said "I went to the Acting President and made the case known to him.

"He graciously summoned a meeting where the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) and senators from the three senatorial districts in my state were invited.

"I can confirm to you now that as a result of the meeting, we have started having positive response," he said.

Californians give $50,000 to set up UA scholarship

FAYETTEVILLE -- A California couple's $50,000 gift to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville will create a student scholarship.

The J. Stephen and Kathryn L. Lauck Advance Arkansas Endowed Scholarship will support students from Arkansas, with preference in the awards for students who are the first in their families to pursue a bachelor's degree.

"Students often drop out because they can't afford it. These scholarships are for the strong students who work hard and are often working their way through college -- like I did," Stephen Lauck said in a statement released by UA.

He and his wife live in Ross, Calif., and he previously has been honored as an entrepreneur by UA's business college.

Stephen Lauck, originally from North Little Rock, earned a bachelor's degree from UA. In 1984, he bought a stake in Ashfield Capital Partners, an investment management business where he served as president and chief executive officer for 25 years, according to the university. He now serves as chairman of the board and portfolio manager for the San Francisco-based company.

Momence teen nets a fishing scholarship

MOMENCE, Ill. — Dustin Demack was about 5 years old when he learned how to fish. This fall, the sport will help him pay for books and classes as he pursues his associate degree in general education at Kankakee Community College.

The 2017 Momence High School graduate received a $500 scholarship through the school's bass fishing booster club. The yearly scholarship goes to a senior on the team who exhibits strong academic standing, as well as dedication to community service and environmental protection, along with fishing skills.

"It was surreal hearing my name called during the end-of-the-year ceremony," Demack recalled. "I was thinking, 'Holy cow. I just won a scholarship for fishing.' That money is going to come in handy this fall."

Demack, who one day wants to become a conservation officer with the Department of Natural Resources, was a sophomore when the school's bass fishing program started. As a freshman, he played baseball, football and golf. Once the fishing program launched, he dropped baseball and football, sticking with golf and fishing for the remainder of his high school career.

"I knew I loved the outdoors, fishing and hunting," Demack said. "It was awesome that it became a school sport."

The Illinois High School Association sanctioned bass fishing as an organized school activity in 2009. Since then, schools throughout the state have been launching programs. In addition to Momence, Manteno, Herscher, Bishop McNamara, Braidwood and Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School all have teams.

Competitions normally last eight hours with two fishermen to a boat and a limit of five bass per boat. Similar to all sports, it has an art to it.

"It's not just casting a line and hoping you catch something," Demack said. "You have to judge the cloud cover, how high the sun is, what lure you're using and so on. You have to know what you're doing."

All that high school practice has come in handy for Demack during this year's Kankakee River Fishing Derby. He was in first place on the big board's largemouth bass category at 4 pounds, 6 ounces with three days to go.

Though the river runs through Demack's family's 32-acre property in rural Momence, he has go-to places all over. That being said, he wouldn't reveal where he caught his lunker of a largemouth. No fisherman does that during a competition.

"The water I was fishing was really clear," he said. "I saw a dark blob approaching. When it hit, I knew it was a decent-size catch. I weighed it in and released it. I just feel like giving it another day and, hopefully, catching it when it gets bigger."

Demack intends on transferring to Southern Illinois University or Murray State University to study wildlife management once he earns his associate degree from KCC. By the way, both those colleges have fishing teams.

"He's a good, Christian kid who does a lot to help the environment," said Doug Duncan, owner of Bordertown Guns and a volunteer coach for the Momence High School bass fishing team. "He's caught a great largemouth. I can definitely see him catching some hogs at the college level."

WSHS graduate receives Golden Leaf Foundation Scholarship

North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) recently selected James Fuchs as a recipient of up to a $12,000 Golden LEAF Foundation Scholarship. Fuchs is a 2017 graduate of West Stanly High School and plans to attend the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Fuchs is one of 215 students selected to receive a $3,000 scholarship each year for up to four years of study at a participating North Carolina college or university. Recipients from rural, economically-distressed North Carolina counties are selected based on career and educational goals, a review of school and community service activities, length of residence in the county and expressed intent to contribute to the state's rural communities upon graduation from college.

"Our hope is that through this scholarship, scholars will be able to gain valuable knowledge and skills and come back to their hometowns or another rural area to help our communities prosper."

Students receiving Golden LEAF Scholarships are also eligible to participate in the Golden LEAF Scholars Leadership Program. The optional program provides leadership training at the Center for Creative Leadership, paid internship opportunities in rural North Carolina communities, and stipends up to $8,830 (for four years of participation) in addition to Golden LEAF Scholarship funding.

Sokoto releases N900m for scholarship arrears

Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has approved the release of N900 million for the payment of tuition fees and upkeep allowances to students of Sokoto origin studying in local and foreign tertiary institutions covering 2015, 2016 and 2017 academic years.

This followed the submission of the report of the committee on the verification of students entitled for scholarship to the Governor last week Monday.

The committee, led by Ambassador Shehu Wurno, said 14,532 students were verified and certified to benefit from government scholarship in the state.

Addressing reporters in his office Tuesday, the Commissioner for Higher Education, Sahabi Isa Gada, said the report had standardized the list of students under government scholarship and only verified students will benefit from the payments.

He said already, the ministry had set up a contact team that would ensure smooth payment of the students and in record time.

"From the submission of the committee, the sum of N688,174,579, being registration and upkeep allowance, is being owed for the current 2016/2017 academic session. The balance of the funds released is for the payment of backlog of entitlements of our foreign students.

"The welfare of our students is a matter of priority to government. We've contacted their representatives and their schools and payment will start after necessary procedure is completed.

"So for this payment, both local and foreign students will benefit. In fact, we are paying backlog of entitlements to foreign students to ensure all of them are up to date in their obligations to their schools," Gada added.

Alumni boost scholarships for Berlin students at UNH

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — Students from Berlin High School are getting some extra help to attend the University of New Hampshire.

Craig and Linda Rydin, who both grew up in Berlin, recently made a seven-figure gift to UNH that will nearly double the scholarship amount given to students who are awarded the Rydin Family Scholarship each year.

Linda Rydin graduated from UNH in 1971. Craig Rydin graduated two years later. They said helping students in Berlin attend UNH is a perfect way to pay tribute to the two institutions that provided them with the foundations for success.

The decade-old need-based scholarships are awarded each year to 20 qualified graduating seniors from Berlin High School.

DSC nursing student gets scholarship in her field

The scholarship was presented on Friday

The General Nursing Council of Dominica has presented the Agnes W. Brooks Nursing Scholarship to 19-year-old Celine Christopher, a second year nursing student at the Dominica State College (DSC).

The scholarship, put together by Roy and Debra Rolle, was presented, for the second time, during the launch of the Council's first ever website on Friday July 21st, and is at a value of E.C. $2,700. It covers three school years of Christopher's academic journey at the DSC.

Principal Nursing Officer in the Ministry of Health, Caesarina Ferrol, charged Christopher with the duty of making the best of the financial opportunity presented to her and urged her to excel in her nursing studies.

"Live up to the expectations of the profession even as a student. Not only in your academic performance, but in your attitude, delivery of patient care, relationship with the internal and external customers, conduct and deportment to name a few areas," she said.

Christopher is a second-year nursing student at the DSC

She challenged the recipient to be impactful and a "change agent" who makes a difference in the field.

"There is a saying 'to whom much is given, much is expected,' be reminded that there are high expectations of you, and you will be required to be a good steward of your gift and to be a good patriot to your country," she remarked.

Christopher spoke exclusively to Dominica News Online and reported that she is the youngest in a group of students selected to continue studies into the second year of nursing. She said this motivated her and made her parents very proud.

"In school, it was a little bit different because everyone was much older than me, and I was the baby. To me, it motivated me. I am the youngest so I can show people I can be mature enough and I can work at their level as well," she said.

Christopher said that her first semester was a very sociable one but as the second semester came about, she realized that an increase in hard work and dedication was very necessary to successfully complete the program.

"You need to work harder to be at that level. Now, I am entering my second year, to me, I am ready for it. Once you have the good attitude and you are not antisocial, then you can work at any level to help others, and once people see that you have that positive attitude, then they have faith in you," she remarked.

WCHA women’s conference ‘asking for financial help’ for tournament costs, postgraduate scholarships, other initiatives

The women's WCHA is launching a partnership with RallyMe on a state-of-the art "crowdfunding platform," according to a press release sent out Thursday.

While common for individual institutions and teams, according to the release, the WCHA is believed to be among the first – if not the first – NCAA Division I conference to use crowdsourcing to help raise funds for items such as tournament costs, postgraduate scholarships and other initiatives aimed at enhancing the student-athlete experience.

"The WCHA women's league has long stood as the nation's premier conference, and now we want to do more for our amazing student-athletes and programs, but need some help to do it," said WCHA women's commissioner Katie Million in a statement. "The unparalleled on-ice successes of the WCHA women's league – which includes 16 national championships in 18 years, seven Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winners, 95 All-Americans, 67 Olympians and counting, and many more national team members – are all well-known and poised to continue. What many people don't know, however, is that the WCHA operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit and, because of that, offers unique opportunities through tax-deductible donations to make positive, tangible impacts on our current student-athletes and the generations to follow.

"Our WCHA alumni are gold medalists and CEOs; they are professional hockey players and small-business owners; they are role models and true inspirations. In this era of being bold for change, we are asking for financial help to make the best league in women's college hockey even better. We are honored to partner with RallyMe – a leading platform for online athletic fundraising – to further strengthen the WCHA, its role in the sport and its impact on the lives of women who are leaders and champions on and off the ice."

This is all on the heels of North Dakota shutting down its women's program earlier this offseason.

Quota club presents scholarships

'); //-->

INDIAN FALLS — Four local students planning to further their education in the field of hearing received scholarships from Batavia's Quota Club during their annual dinner at Indian Falls Fire Hall.

Students this year who each received $600 were Stephanie Halat from Oakfield/Alabama, Lydia Milligan from Pavilion, Eva Muir from Pembroke and Sophia Farnholz from Le Roy.

Halat is planning to attend Genesee Community College to study liberal arts, then transfer to Fredonia for a major in education; Milligan will enter Elmira College to pursue a degree in speech and language disability studies; Muir will pursue her field of study in sociology/deaf culture at New Paltz State College; while Farnholz will study communication disorders/speech pathology at Nazareth College.

Quota Club works all year to raise money for their community service projects, said longtime member Liz Weber. Through a clothing shed at the First Presbyterian Church in Batavia, they collect donations of clothing, which is then sold to St. Pauly's Mission in Rochester.

They have been able to purchase several newborn hearing screeners for United Memorial Medical Center through these efforts, as well as give several scholarships each year.

Aviva introduces scholarship programme for Asian students

Insurance provider Aviva has yesterday announced the creation of its Aviva Scholarship programme. Aimed to promote British education in Asia, the scheme is made possible through the partnership with eleven universities in the UK including University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, Durham University, and more.

The press release also stated that the scheme aimed to assist outstanding students in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam to further their studies at leading UK universities.

Applications open in September 2017 alongside the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) process, and the first group of scholars is expected to matriculate in autumn 2018. The programme is open for Aviva customers in Asia, and their children for the duration of all applicable undergraduate and graduate courses.  

Chris Wei, executive chairman, Aviva Asia; and global chairman of Aviva Digital commented: "As the UK's leading insurer, Aviva is proud to have this exclusive opportunity to work with leading UK universities to support students from Asia in their pursuit of knowledge, new skills and new life experiences in our home market."

"As an insurer focused on education and financial planning, Aviva Asia can now provide not just financial advice and solutions to our customers, but go one step further to offer the possibility for their children to become an Aviva scholar and receive the best British education," he added.

Meanwhile, Jo Johnson, minister of state for universities, science, research and innovation said: "It is fantastic to see two world leading UK sectors – higher education and insurance – come together to create a dynamic partnership that will offer scholarships to the brightest and best students in Asia to enable them to study in the UK.

PRESS RELEASE: Former model launches crowdfunding campaign to help Caribbean talent with arts and entertainment scholarships

NASSAU, The Bahamas — From ripping runways to building businesses, former model Pia Glover-Rolle is now cultivating Caribbean talent through crowdfunding.

Glover-Rolle's keen eye for talent has landed her a working relationship with actress/director Kim Fields and some of her talent has been casted for big names like, DJ Khaled, to name a few. Now, she's offering several incentives to those who want to be a part of the next big thing to emerge from the region while at the same time offering scholarships to help the talent get to the next level with Music, Model & Talent Showcase of The Islands.

"The Caribbean has been a breeding ground of talent for many years," she said. "Those with Bahamian heritage include Sidney Poitier, Zoe and Lenny Kravitz, Michael Smith, Klay and Michael Thompson and quite a few others. Per capita, the region has produced some of the biggest names in the world when you consider the Marley dynasty and the countless numbers of hit-makers from Jamaica, or Rihanna from Barbados. What if, all of this talent had a stage to be presented on, and those who were interested in helping them launch their careers could do so in a unique way? That's what the goal of Island MMTS is all about."

Glover-Rolle's first event attracted several industry executives to The Bahamas for a week of scouting, showcases, networking and workshops. Talent came from 20 Caribbean countries including, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Jamaica, The Bahamas and even Cuba. Though it was a success, she wants to expand beyond the United States and present more opportunities that exist in Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia. She's also providing partnership opportunities with traditional media and social media stars/bloggers to report from the event in The Bahamas.

For as little as $1,000 there are limited VIP passes which include several incentives as well as accommodations for the week of Island MMTS. Other packages range from $50 to over $10,000 and are available for purchase through Island MMTS' Indiegogo page on the crowdfunding website.

"Crowdfunding shows just how much people believe in projects," Glover-Rolle said. "It takes the crowd to fund things financially, but also takes a crowd to fund dreams and to show talent that we are your future fans and we believe in you enough to fund those dreams right now.

"In supporting the full and partial scholarships, backers are helping talent from across the Caribbean – the models, actors, singers, songwriters, producers, deejays, dancers – get the access to the movers and shakers in the industry. That way, they can benefit from the opportunities to network one on one with them and launch their careers.

"We see what Caribbean talent has done on the world stage, but the truth is many can't even fathom a career in arts and entertainment because of accessibility or affordability. That's what we are trying to change when we bring those who can make a difference in their lives to them, and provide the talent with the scholarships they need. So for me, it's not about crowdfunding but rather making investments to present the talent with scholarships that place them in the ideal environment to launch their careers."

Top Story Schneiderman leads brief in support of injunctive relief in Hawaii travel ban litigation

Sixteen Attorneys General Argue That Trump Administration Too Narrowly Interprets "Close Familial Relationship" – Harming States' Residents, Institutions, And Economies

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Monday, July 10, that he is leading a coalition of 16 Attorneys General, filed an amicus brief in the Hawaii travel ban litigation, supporting Hawaii's pending motion for injunctive relief in federal district court.

Last week, Hawaii filed a motion in State of Hawaii and Ismail Elshikh v. Donald Trump, et al. to clarify the scope of the injunction that partially blocks the travel ban. Attorney General Schneiderman led this same coalition of Attorneys General in filing an amicus brief in support of Hawaii's first motion. While the district court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined for procedural reasons to address that first motion, the Ninth Circuit observed that Hawaii could seek injunctive relief from the district court. Late Friday, the plaintiffs filed a motion to enforce, or alternatively, to modify the district court's preliminary injunction. Today's amicus brief filed by the coalition of Attorneys General supports that new motion.

"Since January, Attorneys General have been on the front lines – going into courts around the (more…)

Online university WGU sees state's Reconnect scholarship as an opening for future growth

After four years in operation, Tennessee's state-backed online university is looking to capitalize on a new scholarship program that is expected to pump thousands of adults into higher education in the coming years.

WGU Tennessee, which launched in July 2013, caters to adult students by letting them work through bachelor's or master's programs at their own speed online. Leaders plan to market that model aggressively to adults who use the new Tennessee Reconnect grant to go to community college tuition-free.

WGU Tennessee Chancellor Kimberly Estep indicated that the university would position itself as the ideal next step for adults who graduate from community college using Reconnect. She predicted it would lead to continued growth for the university, which has enrolled more than 3,350 students in its first four years.

The university expects "to see accelerated growth in the years to come," Estep said in a statement. "As adult learners take advantage of tuition-free associate's degrees through the TN Reconnect Act, WGU Tennessee will be there to provide an affordable, high-quality option for those looking to pursue bachelor's degrees."

The university has already taken steps to use state's network of 13 community colleges to grow its recruitment pool.

WGU Tennessee has a partnership with each community college that shaves 5 percent off tuition for any community college graduate who transfers to the online university. Earlier this year, WGU Tennessee started marketing a more aggressive scholarship for younger students who had graduated from community college through the Tennessee Promise program.
