“The financial help was generous, and I am very thankful for it. However, there was a lot more to it than just the money received. It was an award, an honor. There’s something to be said about people looking at your records, and then deciding they want to help YOU out of many candidates. For that, I am honored. It brings content, and rising hope that my hard work pays off every now and again. I’m now all the more eager to graduate, and to continue my developing education to show that I am indeed worthy of such an award. ”  –  Zach Buker
