Meet NDOM Scholar Pavielle Goldman
Pavielle Goldman (’12) is sure to learn a lot over her four years at Notre Dame, but she has already learned one important life lesson from the Notre Dame family: when people work together toward a common goal, amazing things can happen.
Goldman is one of twelve students (three from each class) receiving the Notre Dame Our Mother Scholarship. Awarded for the first time in 2008, the Notre Dame Our Mother Scholarship has been made possible by the Notre Dame Family.
“It’s just really nice that people care about how finances impact other people,” says Goldman. “Because without the scholarships and grants I received, I wouldn’t have been able to come here.”
Goldman learned about Notre Dame from her high school counselor (Dean Sullivan ’86), who brought her and students to campus for tours and football weekends. She liked the quads, south dining hall, and the campus atmosphere. She also noticed how nice all the people were that she met, and how her counselor was still close with his former classmates.
“I think that is a great part of the Notre Dame experience,” she says, “to have a tight bond with people. And since we are a family we take care of each other—when I need you, you are there for me, and when you need me, I am there for you.”
Which is really what the Notre Dame Our Mother Scholarship is all about.
