“This scholarship will make a tremendous impact on my success at ACC, where I will begin my studies to pursue my degree in nursing. Being awarded this scholarship—my very first—has not only lifted a weight off my shoulders but also reminded me that my dreams are within reach. Your support has inspired me to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacle. Thank you again for believing in students like me and for investing in our futures.”
“As a high school student living with type 1 diabetes, this award means more than financial support—it will enable me to pursue my dream of making an impact on the lives of millions with type 1 diabetes. I will be attending North Carolina State to study biomedical engineering, with the goal of developing better technology for individuals with diabetes. Thank you for believing in my potential and for helping me turn a lifelong challenge into a lifelong mission.”
“My life’s purpose revolves around advocating for children, who are often overlooked in healthcare. I believe that every child deserves not only the best care but also compassionate and unbiased guidance. As a first-generation college student, this scholarship has lightened the financial load on both my parents and me. I am thankful for the donors who support your foundation and for giving me the opportunity to pursue my dream.”
