The next chapter begins with you.
“The scholarships I’ve received have taken a huge weight off both myself and my family’s shoulders. It really puts into perspective how much of an impact the generous donations make on students working to achieve their dreams. When I found out I was to receive the scholarship I immediately felt a wave of emotions. I felt motivated that someone donated in hopes that I put the money to good use and go chase my dreams.”
