I think scholarships are really good because that extra help really goes a long way. It provides so much support. I think it really helps a student progress in all ways – mentally, emotionally, educationally. It helps them reach their full potential, if they have someone saying ‘I’m routing for you. I’m supporting you’. You don’t just get money, you also get mentoring and the opportunity to be an ambassador. If other students are thinking of applying to the scholarship, I would say just apply and give it a chance. I applied and I didn’t think I was going to get it and then I did.
