Previous Award Recipient Thank Yous:
2022 RECIPIENT – CATHERINE
“The past few years have been incredibly hard on so many people. My family included. During the start of my studies my father suffered a stroke which left us struggling to afford health related items and pay our bills, this included my education. I ended up working three jobs during this time just to make ends meet and help my mother. I have mobility issues which I had surgeries for when I was younger but these have now progressed and arthritis has begun to form. I also deal with the day to day life of having ADHD, Anxiety and PTSD which I am comfortable to share because it helped lead me into my field. I am currently completing prerequisite courses for my dream degree. This award is life changing and will help me to be able to focus on my studies and worry less about needing to balance everything else while I focus on my studies to reach my dreams.”

I am so excited to receive this scholarship. It will definitely help take the financial stress off my shoulders.”
