“It has been difficult for me to find a balance between travel, classes, social life, practice, etc. Because of your scholarship, I can breathe and focus on what’s important.”

“In all my years as a student, I haven’t ever had an experience with such great support as your scholarship provides.”

“I would not be able to attend Kent State University without your incredible gift….I will remember this generosity for the rest of my life.”
