Student Stories

I want to stay in school and work my absolute hardest to get my degree to help change the lives of young individuals.

Beyond my academic and campus involvement, this scholarship also supports my efforts with my nonprofit organization.

"I am a mother of two teenagers and have been raising them on my own since I started my college journey. I know this has been a great example for them to see the possibilities for the future."

"I feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders from the need to pick up extra shifts at work during my school semester. Last semester, I worked full time working as many as four jobs at one point."

"This opportunity has not only empowered me to achieve my educational goals but also demonstrated to my son the value of perseverance and determination in pursuing dreams, no matter the obstacles."

"Having the great honor of receiving this scholarship will truly shift the way my entire school year pans out. With this much-appreciated financial support from you, I will be able to focus a lot more on my studies and increase my GPA to increase my chances of getting into more esteemed courses and communities when I transfer to a university."

"I wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you for your kindness in offering scholarships to students like me. Your support means the world to me and gives me hope that I can achieve my dreams."

"This scholarship has helped with my current finances due to my inability to work a full-time job due to my body healing itself."

"Once I graduate I wish to return to Native Health, a community health clinic, to help my community and teach the importance of oral health, and give people brighter smiles."

"I can fully invest myself in my studies and hit my academic goals without any financial ticks. This assistance also allowed me to focus more on extracurricular activities and that means a lot to me!"
