An AlamoPROMISE Student’s Commitment to Advocacy and Academic Excellence

圣安东尼奥 native Michael Reichle is passionate about advocating for the rights of others. His interest first sparked at the age of seven when he attended a local high school debate. He was drawn to the high-energy atmosphere of the debate room and admired the students' well-researched answers.

他在约翰逊高中读大一的时候, Michael joined the varsity debate team and was promoted to team captain during his junior and senior years. 作为团队中备受尊敬的一员, he gained the attention of his peers at the state level and became a debate judge.

Michael realized he could use his debate skills to help right some of the world’s injustices by becoming a civil rights lawyer. He knew that law school and four-year institutions could be extremely costly, 所以他很兴奋地了解到 AlamoPROMISE程序, a last-dollar scholarship that covers 100% of tuition and fees for eligible students. He decided to enroll at 圣安东尼奥学院 (SAC) to build up his transcript without going into debt.  

“我想参加AlamoPROMISE, as tuition is a major barrier in preventing students from pursuing higher education. 我一知道这个项目, it took away my concerns about how I would pay for school as a full-time student,迈克尔说。.

He is now in his third semester at SAC where he studies Philosophy and maintains an impressive 4.0的绩点. 迈克尔在学生生活中也很活跃, serving as President of the SAC Honors Academy and is the Historian and Honors in Action Chair for Phi Theta Kappa Beta Nu chapter. He values the inclusive climate of the college and the sense of community among students.

“Being a SAC student has been an amazing experience that continues to provide me with the inspiration to achieve my goals. I am deeply grateful for the experiences and people I have been able to experience because of choosing 澳门正规博彩十大排行平台区,迈克尔说。.

毕业后, he plans to transfer to the University of Texas at Austin and hopes to eventually attend a top 14 law school.

At the September 2024 澳门正规博彩十大排行平台区 校董会 meeting, Michael was awarded the AlamoPROMISE Student of the Month. As he was recognized for his academic achievements and commitment to his goals, he expressed gratitude to the AlamoPROMISE程序 for helping make his dreams a reality.

“The AlamoPROMISE程序 has given me the opportunity to pursue higher education in confidence without the financial risk of tuition costs. It is evident that the 澳门正规博彩十大排行平台区 has in mind the best interests of its students…as there are so many exclusive opportunities. I am proud to be a SAC student and participate in the larger 阿拉莫大学 community,迈克尔说。.
