Emily Ransom - Junior
"Biola has had a great impact on my life the past three years. I have been pushed and challenged to grow in my faith, which has changed the way that I approach my studies, relationships and lifestyle. Running for Biola has played a big role in my time here as well. The community that I have, and the inspiration I feel every day because of my teammates has helped me through the highs and lows of each season. If it weren't for running I would not be able to afford a great education and the atmosphere Biola provides. Having support from athletic scholarships has allowed me to be a part of this great community. Thank you for helping me reach my goals both on and off the track!"

Ryan St. Pierre - Freshman
"Receiving an athletic scholarship has done more for me than I could describe. Without it I would not be able to be at a school receiving a Biblically centered education. It motivates me to work hard and give my all for my teammates every day and reminds me to pray that I can be a good steward of the talent and money God has given to me. I want to glorify the Lord through my sport and I know of no better place to do that than at Biola. I'm so blessed to be on this team and thankful that God has used this university to allow me to run for Him!!"

Nathaniel Belden - Sophomore
"A scholarship is what allows me to come here. I had plans of attending a different university until scholarship there fell through, forcing me to consider other schools. Without my Biola scholarship, I would have to transfer secular state school."
