Daniela German ’21: Featured Scholar Highlight
A first-generation student, Daniela German ’21 arrived at Skidmore from Houston, Texas,
determined to make her family, friends and community proud. The pandemic increased
financial strain for her family, but she was able to persevere, continuing her education
with inspiration from her mother and support from the Skidmore community.
While pursuing a major in health and human physiological sciences with a minor in anthropology, Daniela was active in Raíces, which promotes Latinx culture, and had the opportunity to experience a travel seminar to Guatemala. As this year’s featured Joseph C. and Anne T. Palamountain Scholar, Daniela plans plan to attend graduate school to join a forensic program with the goal of working to provide some relief to families who seek justice.
The scholarship has eased a lot of financial burdens for my family. I am thankful every day for the opportunity to accomplish my dreams here at Skidmore.”
