As everyone knows attending college is expensive, the cost of fees, books and materials, and living expenses are rising all the time. The scholarship is greatly appreciated. As Sir Thomas More said “Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities – that’s training or instruction – but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.” Thank you for the scholarship and allowing my seed to grow.
