Because of this generous gift, I am pleased to say that my final year of college is officially covered, and I will be graduating debt-free! I am so grateful for this scholarship. It has been such a relief knowing that I will have more time to focus on school rather than working to pay for tuition. Your donation has been such a blessing to me!
