“At a young age, I had to endure things that other kids didn’t,” says Tiffin University senior Briana Streib. Briana was born while her parents were still in high school—at which time her father immediately joined the Army and her mother dabbled in drugs. It was up to Briana to choose a different path.
“I had to apply for every scholarship possible to pay for college,” says Briana. “Winning numerous scholarships paid for my first two years of college, debt free. I was able to quit my job for the first time and focus on my education and athletic ability in track. I wanted a degree to support myself and my future family.”
Earning scholarships from Tiffin University was Briana’s first real support system. “Those who donate to the scholarship fund support students and their future,” she says. “I’m beyond thankful for everything I have received.”
Attending Tiffin University was one of the best decisions Briana made. “My Dragon family is everything. Tiffin University will always be my home.”
Briana will graduate in December of 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in human resources. She currently works for the North End Community Improvement Collaborative, Inc. and has accepted a full-time position at Harmony House as an HR Administrator. She plans to get married in February 2021.
