"Before I lost my job with GM, I honestly thought college was a waste of time and money. I knew a lot of people that had 4 year degrees that were either unemployed or not using their degree. I now know how important that degree is. I am so extremely pleased with my decision to attend Sinclair and am able to now do things I never thought possible and have been given unbelievable opportunities. I have learned so many things in just a short time at Sinclair, and while I don't know what the future holds, I know I will be better prepared."

I was laid off on 18 March 2008. After not being able to find work, I decided to go back to school after about 30 years. As a displaced worker needing new skills to reenter the job market I turned to Sinclair Community College for retraining. Sinclair has been more than helpful guiding me through every step of reentering the college scene to gain the training needed to reenter the workforce. With the Sinclair counselors and the help of the displaced workers groups many questions have been answered and concerns put to rest. As a 55 year old unemployed man my experience at Sinclair Community College has been a very positive one.

My experience at Sinclair has been very fullfilling. I was laid off August 29, 2008 and started Sinclair Sepember 5, 2008. I utilized the Displaced Worker Scholarship and that was a huge help in paying for the cost of my education. Being laid off has been life altering in a positive aspect. Attending Sinclair has created the opportunity for me to excel to higher heights in my life. I want to obtain a nursing degree and some day I would like to teach at Sinclair.

This scholarship has been a blessing for me. Thank you and the rest of your staff, assisting workshop coordinators with all of your help, time, and great patience with this one Displaced worker. Every little bit certainly helps.

As a displaced worker Sinclair Comm. College has been a blessing to me. Any need that I had during my transition back to school was met by the staff in all departments. When my financial aide through state funding was not yet in place, Sinclair made sure that I got whatever I needed to continue on til things were rectified. The teachers are great and so understanding of people who have been away from school for long periods of time. Thanks Sinclair!
