"It is very motivating to be supported by an organization or community members that donate to your future. Their generous contribution is a reminder that they believe in you and want to see you succeed!" - Mekia Bushell, 2019 Scholarship Recipient & UAA 2022 Graduate
"Being a full-time nursing student requires a lot of dedicated time to study in and out of the classroom, which limits the availability for me to work. Applying for scholarships in general may be time consuming but receiving funds to aid in paying for my tuition was well worth the effort and I am extremely grateful to have been chosen to received this scholarship." - Joshua Obas, 2019 Scholarship Recipient & 2021 Graduate
