There’s students like me out there that are paying our way through school, and it’s really difficult…I’m sure you understand since you were, before, a student like me, and I’m so thankful that you’re willing to give back to the community in this way. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and that was chosen to be the recipient of your scholarship.”

“I went to an all-honors high school and my guidance counselor was really, really good at sending out as many scholarships as she possibly could. So she sent out the William Cooper Setzer Scholarship, and thought, I need to try for scholarships, and it’s my senior year and I need to get going. think it’s really helped me now just through paying for books and classes and everything...thank you for choosing me and giving a change in my life, to pursue and keep pursuing my career not only at CVCC, but going on to Appalachian or wherever I may transfer.”
