First and foremost, I am honored and grateful to be a part of the inaugural recipient group.  To be awarded the Dean’s Leadership Circle Scholarship means a great deal to me. Not only does it reassure me that my academic success does not go unnoticed, but it also motivates me to push my limits throughout the school year.

The Dean’s Leadership Circle Scholarship is helping me achieve my goals by serving as substantial financial aid and therefore reducing my student debt. I will use this scholarship to pay for school utilities and other required academic expenses bringing me closer to obtaining my degree in International Business.

My educational experience has been positive for the most part, this scholarship reduces the stress caused by the seemingly-endless fees and textbooks materials required for my courses.

I am honored to be a recipient of the Dean’s Leadership Circle Scholarship but most importantly I am immensely grateful for their generous donations. Without their support, other outstanding students; including myself, would be closer to higher student debt.
