In the late spring 2021, our organization did everything possible to make sure we had a scholarship recipient this year. We were all at a loss unable to select a 2020 scholar due to the pending pandemic but we made it happen. Elizabeth Katayev was an easy pick. An honor student and graduate of Tottenville High School with a diverse and complementary background of leadership and academic excellence. She is now a freshman at Hofstra University majoring in Psychology with great aspirations. We are proud to welcome Elizabeth to our family.
Here is a message of gratitude from Elizabeth:
"All of my experiences have helped me solidify my career path and course of study. I want to help children and make sure they have coping skills to overcome the challenges in their lives. Also, I want to make sure their parents are equipped emotionally to help their children, so they don’t isolate, detach and avoid life. I will accomplish these goals by first attending Hofstra University to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, then I will pursue a Master’s degree in Childhood Adolescent Psychology. This academic foundation will allow me to open my own private practice, which would afford me the opportunity to work with families regardless of their incomes due to my ability to set a pay scale. Families with lower income should be able to afford proper mental health care. Clearly, I am excited for my future and thankful for all the lessons my past has taught me. I would like to thank the Stephanie Marie Burgos Scholarship Inc. for the help, support, and funds provided in order to help me succeed. I am extremely grateful and can’t wait to interact more with all of the members. Thank you!"
