Past Recipient Testimonials

“Recipients of this award are so blessed by Rand Horsman’s 25 years of leadership at UNT Health and his generosity to continue giving to others after his retirement. I hope through my continued hard work that I will someday be in a position to give back like Mr. Horsman.”

“Being a single parent with twins in college and my eldest applying for post-grad study funds are very tight, as I’m sure you can imagine. This scholarship helps me offset the costs of my own education. Now that the kids have ‘left the nest’, it’s my turn to finally finish that Master’s degree I’ve been working on for years. This scholarship helps to make that possible.”

“Thanks to the Horsman McFadden UNT Health Team Member Scholarship Program, my goals are within reach. I hope that one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.”

“As a full-time worker with three small children and another dependent child, and no family in Texas, this scholarship allows me to provide appropriate child care for my kids while I pursue my degree.”
