THANK YOU!

Mariah Maldonado is a native of Chicago, IL. She always knew she had a passion for mental health and social work, especially after recognizing how many people in her life and community struggle with mental illness.

"As a first-generation and self-supporting college student worrying about finances, receiving this scholarship means so much to me. It has provided me with peace of mind, which will affect my well-being, the field site, and the people I work with and for."

Thank you so much for this scholarship and opportunity to help, learn, and work in this community without having to worry about my finances! As a first-generation student, this means the world to me.
