"Even more important (than the scholarship) is the knowledge that there are extremely generous people in my community who value the success of younger generations and are willing to help.”

"My hope is that recipients and prospective donors recognize that anyone can contribute to the dream of a college education, even a 28-year-old RUSD alumna.”

“My scholarship has been a tremendous motivator, reinforcing that others believe in me. I deeply appreciate my donors’ support, which inspires me to pay it forward. Even a small scholarship can be life-changing, empowering students to pursue their dreams and create future.”
