Olivia Elder is currently enrolled in Bethel University’s BUILD Program. She’s a fun-loving, thoughtful, and caring individual — and just the type of person we couldn’t wait to award a scholarship to! Olivia has lived in the Twin Cities her whole life and enjoys helping others, which is why probably why she loves volunteering!

Olivia also enjoys exercising and taking Tae Kwon Do lessons, and has achieved her purple belt! She loves music, art, and performing, and has participated in everything from talent shows to pagents!

The BUILD Program at Bethel is designed to help prepare Olivia for her future and living independently. Keep your eye on this shining star! Within five years, she aims to have a job, perhaps her own place, and a cat!

Shoot for the moon, Olivia!
