As a first-generation student, this scholarship enables me to pursue higher education and achieve my goals. With my MPA degree, I plan to create meaningful and effective change within my communities by working with nonprofit organizations that serve important causes. Attending this esteemed institution has already begun to provide me with valuable opportunities, both academic and personal growth. I am excited to see where my journey at UGA will lead, and I know I would not be able to pursue this path without the generous support of your funding.
