As a single mother of three, this scholarship award will help me continue my education while striving to set a positive example for my children. - Tatiana Burgos

Growing up I experienced many challenges, but no matter what, I always knew I wanted to obtain a college degree. To avoid debt, I have been taking one course at a time for almost 6 years, paying out-of-pocket, sometimes with every dollar I had to my name. With this scholarship, I can complete my degree sooner and move forward with my career. - Angelo Alberti
