“…I cannot express enough how I am extremely grateful for the $1,000 award.  I am the first in my family to be attending college, which means everything I am going through is new and intimidating, especially the expenses.  This award has also helped me to show my younger siblings that if you do well in school, you will be recognized and rewarded for your hard work.”
