To help make that dream come true, she recently was awarded one of 15 prestigious Lyceum Scholarships from the University of Mississippi, allowing her to attend college tuition free. The Lyceum Scholarship is awarded to transferring community college students on the basis of community service, academic excellence, leadership abilities and perseverance. As you will discover, Spiehler has plenty of perseverance. Prepared to be inspired.
