My family and I truly appreciate all the aid that I received as a student during my time at IU South Bend. It gave me the opportunity to play baseball and partake in community life and campus clubs. It also lessened the amount of loans I had to take out. Thus, to be selected and to receive this scholarship as one of a few means a lot to me.
