“To someone like me in my current financial situation, this scholarship means the difference between graduation, and dropping out. Because I am 34 years old, I am disqualified for about 90% of scholarships. It also puts a pressure on you that you should already be grown up and out in the world making a living, instead of going to school. The disease has taken (at least I feel like it has) 10 years away from me for treatment and healing. It has also taken all of my savings and financial stability. That is why scholarships like the one you are offering are so important to me.”
