“In a time of many challenges and world crises, hope in education is still the light at the end of the tunnel. Having support and people who believe in my success is what motivates me. Thank you for believing in me.”
Milly, QCC student
“As a mother and student, continuing my education requires balancing school, clinical responsibilities, studying, and caring for my family. Receiving a scholarship helps ease some of the financial pressure that comes with pursuing my nursing degree and allows me to focus more of my energy on succeeding in the rigorous program.”
Jackson, QCC student
“Being a student-athlete has taught me a lot about responsibility, time management, hard work, and staying committed to my goals. Your support means more than simply helping with the cost of college. It shows students like me that there are people in our community who believe in our goals and want to help us succeed.”
