FOUNDATIONS

For many, a college education is the pathway to success. We are inspired by the vision of the Answer Fund and its belief that a student’s success in life includes a focus on family and willingness to work hard to build her own future. The lucky women who participate will benefit not only from the scholarship assistance, but from the caring and support from Susan and her dedication. ~ Tom Lawrence, Executive Director of The Leon Levine Foundation

HOUSES OF WORSHIP

Our Outreach Committee was inspired to support the Answer Scholarship Endowment because of its high success rate. Answer has shown it can help women gain an education and set a powerful example for their children. We feel Answer is a good investment. ~ Rev. Kevin K. Wright, Myers Park United Methodist Church

INDIVIDUALS

I’m interested in helping children get started on the right path. The mother runs the family. If we can help fund a mother’s education, the mom will provide that example to her child of why education is important. Answer Scholarship is affiliated with Foundation for the Carolinas, an organization I trust. Giving was a no-brainer for me. The Answer Scholarship works for what I want. Answer is my answer. ~ Jim Brinson, retired CPA, who has named Answer Scholarship as a beneficiary in his estate plan

I agree with Answer’s philosophy that if you educate a parent, you educate a child. Education builds self-confidence, self-discipline and self-worth. It builds everyone a better future. That, really, is the mission of the Answer Scholarship Endowment. ~ Patricia Mason Spencer

I admire the fact that Susan Andersen saw a need and, on her own, decided to take steps to meet that need by setting up Answer. It proves that one person can indeed make a difference. It’s my joy to be able to contribute to this important work. I also like the idea of women helping women, and that’s what Answer is doing. ~ Sally Robinson

ORGANIZATIONS

North Mecklenburg Woman’s Club is a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting and helping people in our community. Education for women has always been one of our main priorities. Throughout the years, our organization has been able to give thousands of dollars to woman going back to school. ANSWER was truly the answer to our quest. We feel confident these scholarships are going to women who need it the most. The ANSWER program of finding these applicants, interviewing and maintaining a relationship with each woman throughout their school journey is exemplary. The North Mecklenburg Woman’s Club is honored to be affiliated with such a fine scholarship organization. ~ Lisa Vadnais, President of the North Mecklenburg Woman’s Club
