Established on behalf of Costa Miller, INARF's founding CEO, The Costa N. Miller Scholarship was created in 1999 to assist DSPs pursuing higher education to benefit the human service industry. The recipients of the award must be employed for a minimum of two years at an INARF member agency, be enrolled in an undergraduate program, and have a grade-point-average of at least 2.0.
Paige Klemme of Tangram did not intend to make a career of serving individuals with disabilities. In a very short time, however, she developed a great passion for the human services field and a deep devotion to the individuals she serves. The little victories that come from the support she gives her clients have become deeply rewarding, and prompted her to pursue a career as a behavior specialist. She plans to use her degree to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to live their lives to their full potential.
Stella Modirim loves her job in Tangram's Community Living Services program.
