My Testimonial

This scholarship will play an integral role in my ability to focus on my schoolwork without additional financial pressure. I had to make a tough decision when admitted to this program once I determined the loans I needed to take out to finance my education. There is certainly a level of risk involved with decisions of this magnitude. While the principal amount of the loan is large, I fully believe in the power of this investment for my long-term future. I am blessed to be a member of Sigma Chi, a fraternity that believes in my dreams and goals as well. Sigma Chi values of wisdom, courtesy, fidelity, courage, high ambition, self-control, and integrity have become the bedrock of my decision-making process. Friendships within, and outside, the fraternity have provided support for me when I needed it the most. Striving for justice and fairness for all individuals is a priority in my professional journey. I also desire to be a lifelong learner. This scholarship aids my continued development and pursuit of my goals. I want to sincerely thank the donors of this scholarship for their generosity and action in paying their success forward. I will always provide resources of my own in the future to continue this trend. Thank you all so much. In Hoc!
