“As a returning student with a family and other responsibilities, help from scholarships is huge. It not only impacts my life today, but it is also providing me confidence for tomorrow. My goals are lofty, and without the generosity of others, I don’t know how I would achieve them. How amazing it would be someday, when I am successful, to be able to return the generosity I have received and help future generations of Huskies pursue their dreams.”
