Amanda Harmon

Amanda Harmon, 18, of Olive Branch knows what she wants in life. Applying only to Ole Miss, Harmon has set her goals high.

“The first day of senior year in high school I decided to fund my own college education,” said Harmon. “I knew I was going to have to work hard to get where I wanted.”

Once learning about the Women’s Council, she said she was determined to be part of such an outstanding organization.   She even hand delivered her application to the Women’s Council, and her persistence paid off very well. 

Harmon said her future plans are to obtain a degree in journalism and possibly become a public relations practitioner for the government.  Her contributions to the Women’s Council will be very beneficiary towards her career goals.

“This is not just a scholarship, its experience and leadership opportunities for after I graduate,” said Harmon.  “I have been really looking for avenues of service for college and the Women’s Council has given me the chance to start my own service. I am very excited.”

Harmon also said “The Women’s Council has set a standard for me and I plan to help fund the Women’s Council long after my years are over at Ole Miss.”
