Hashlie Thomas
Scholarships played a significant role in my life. They enabled me to pursue higher education without financial burden, opening opportunities that would have otherwise been out of reach. I was able to focus more on my studies and activities leading to personal growth and the development of invaluable skills. With those skills I was able to work and save more than enough to buy my first investment home immediately after graduation. Scholarships had a transformative effect on my life providing access to opportunities to shape my future.
