Continuing our series to highlight 2025-2026 scholarship recipients, this week, we are proud to feature Janice Talley from Walden University, whose story represents the importance of resilience, purpose, and a deep commitment to advocacy and community service.

Janice’s journey as a nontraditional student pursuing a degree in Social Work reflects her unwavering dedication to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable youth. With a passionate focus on advocating for children in foster care, she aspires to create safe, trauma-informed spaces for counseling and support—especially for those living in residential centers and group homes. Her work is driven by a heartfelt desire to foster healing and stability for youth who need it most.

Receiving the Alpha Sigma Lambda Scholarship is more than a recognition of her academic achievement; it’s a testament to her perseverance and purpose. Janice views this support as a reflection of her commitment to giving back and making a lasting impact in her community. Her belief in the power of adult learners to uplift others aligns perfectly with the core values of our organization.

Janice is grateful to be part of a community that recognizes the importance of lifelong learning and the transformative impact it can have. Her story is an inspiring reminder that with determination and compassion, one person can create meaningful change.
