When Jen Skok visited USC with her oldest son, Ryan, on his tour of colleges, something clicked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe minute we stepped foot on campus, it just felt right. It was a beautiful day, the tour guide was amazing, and everyone was smiling,\u201d she said. Though Ryan, then a high school junior, had long wanted to attend college in Southern California, the campus visit cemented his preference for USC.<\/p>\n

Now that he\u2019s a junior at USC, Ryan has \u201cachieved his dreams beyond what he thought he could do,\u201d his mom said. His grades have earned him a place on the dean\u2019s list every semester, he has served as a teaching assistant at USC Marshall, and he has worked at\u00a0USC Dornsife\u2019s Language Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watching as Ryan thrived at USC, Jen was both amazed and grateful for the opportunities the school provided him. \u201cHe\u2019s taken every opportunity that\u2019s been given to him, and we\u2019ve seen the positive attributes that have grown as a result,\u201d she said. \u201cWe wanted to give this same opportunity to someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlocking Potential\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired, Jen and her husband Steve have funded scholarships for both USC Dornsife and USC Marshall, with preference given to students coming from the Skok\u2019s hometown of Chicago. By funding scholarships to support individual students, the Skoks are making a more targeted approach to their giving.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to give to students who wouldn\u2019t have the opportunity to attend USC otherwise \u2014 we wanted to help change individuals\u2019 lives,\u201d Jen said.<\/p>\n

Supporting students specifically from Chicago was important to the Skoks because they are more familiar with the neighborhoods and circumstances from which scholarship recipients come.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many people to help in Chicago,\u201d Jen said. \u201cSince we\u2019re from there, providing that support made it more impactful for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

USC Dornsife students from Chicago who have received the Skok Family Scholarship readily acknowledge the difference it has made in their education. Calling the gift \u201cinspiring,\u201d senior Kiarra Akiyoshi, a cognitive science and Spanish double major, said that the gift played an \u201cintegral role in helping me fulfill my dreams of graduating from USC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Student Success<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sophomore creative writing major Elizabeth Mensah said that without the Skok Family Scholarship, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be able to follow my dream of becoming a writer\/director \u2026. The generosity of a stranger can change the entire course of a life.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to her philanthropic contributions to the university, Jen Skok serves on the Executive Committee of USC\u2019s Parent Leadership Circle as an ambassador for USC in the Chicago region, serving as advocate and guide, including for local parents reaching out for advice after their children have been admitted. This role is especially important as USC continues to raise its national profile.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are lots more kids in Chicago applying to USC,\u201d Jen said. \u201cBeautiful weather, beautiful campus, a top-notch reputation. You\u2019re looking at a school that has everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s experiences with USC have made the Skoks proud to be members of the Trojan Family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re happy to be part of a close-knit community,\u201d Jen said. \u201cEveryone we have met has been so engaging and welcoming. It\u2019s a very diverse mix of people, and everyone is so happy and proud that they went there, and that their children go there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Skok family recently found out that their own connection to the Trojan Family would deepen: In April, they were overjoyed to learn that their second son Nick had been admitted to USC, keeping the Skok\u2019s Trojan tradition alive.<\/p>\n
