In Their Words
The funds that scholarship aid provides enables me to cover my tuition costs and school expenses throughout my program. I hope one day I will be able to invest in future students and help them in their studies just as the aid I received did for me.
– Ronnya Peter ‘21
Without scholarship patrons willing to support education, students such as myself would be unable to pursue advance health care degrees. My dream of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is moving forward, thanks to generous scholarship patrons.
-David Carlson ’21
Thanks to your generous support, I feel that I’m one step closer to achieving my goals. Scholarship aid is very meaningful not only financially, but emotionally as well, as it has strengthened my belief in myself.
-Christopher Simmons ‘20
