We asked Kelsi Lanier, Online Program Student Hope Scholarship Recipient, what it meant to her to be selected for the scholarship.

“Receiving this scholarship has meant far more to me than financial support. It has given me the ability to dedicate more time to learning and engaging in discussions that enrich my academic goals. The generosity of these donors has left a profound impact on my self-confidence. Knowing that others have invested in my education has given me a stronger sense of purpose and a commitment to work harder, not only for myself but to honor their support.”
