One of my major goals is completing my degree debt free! I am very privileged to even have such a goal be attainable, and I am grateful to have this opportunity which is helping to bring that goal to fruition. With Covid, things have become much more difficult. Emotionally and financially, these have been a grueling 2 years. With this scholarship, not only is the financial burden of paying for school out of pocket slightly alleviated, but this creates that much more time for me to focus not only on school but on the things that bring me joy as well. And for that, I am extremely grateful. Thank you so much to the donors that made the African Diaspora Council scholarship possible!
