“The scholarships from church have massively helped me and continue to do as I thrive through college. It makes college easier to afford and helps me do study away programs to my dream destinations including Spain. As of right now, I’m working to have a career in the migration field by helping refugees and migrants just like me and my family were helped as we arrived in the US in 2016. The help I received as a refugee is the reason I am where I’m at today and I wish to bring that same opportunity to current and future refugees around the world.”
