“I remember visiting the university in high school and being shocked to learn that university students drove the buses on campus – I immediately thought I could never do that. Learning to take risks and being open to new opportunities from CAMBUS has made my college experience better in all aspects.” 

“This scholarship will make a big difference in paying my tuition this semester, but it also makes me feel valued for the role I play on campus beyond being a student. I appreciate all the effort the CAMBUS team puts in to take care of their employees and maintain a positive work atmosphere, especially during the pandemic, which has been challenging for transit workers everywhere.” 

Course of study: Finance and accounting 

“Working at CAMBUS has allowed me to gain real-life work experience and understand the importance of maintaining a tight schedule to satisfy riders. For over a year, I’ve provided rides to people with disabilities with the Bionic Bus service. Being able to converse and communicate with these individuals will truly be one of my best memories of attending Iowa.” 

Course of study:  Horn performance, music education 

“CAMBUS has bettered my university experience exponentially. As a supervisor, I’ve gained invaluable skills in leadership, teamwork, and management. My experience at CAMBUS has set me up for success in other areas of my life. Without this experience, I wouldn’t feel as prepared for post-collegiate life as I feel I am now.” 

“To be selected for this scholarship is an honor! I hope it is something that is able to grow and help CAMBUS drivers for generations to come.”

“CAMBUS has provided me with a unique opportunity to continue my educational and developmental goals. Developing skills such as leadership and time-management have transferred into my classrooms and daily living. I have been able to manage my course load and student responsibilities from the skills I have learned at CAMBUS.”
