"I am so grateful to have been selected as the recipient of this scholarship. As a child living in a single parent household it means so much to me to be able to lift any financial burden that I can from those who are putting me through school. I will be putting this money towards the cost of my tuition. I would like to thank anyone who had a part in selecting me as the recipient of this scholarship.

Kailey- scholarships winner

March '26  - Kailey G.

"I'm so incredibly excited to have earned this scholarship! I plan to put the money towards a study away program for Art and Design. I was so happy to learn I got into a program that would help me so much in the design field, but I honestly felt distraught knowing I didn't really have any way to afford it besides loan money. Earning a scholarship towards meeting with design firms and furthering my career means the world to me. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity being presented without further financial burden on myself or my amazing parents, who always try to support me however they can."
