“This scholarship is not just a financial support, it serves as a stepping stone toward my future career and opens doors to opportunities. It also motivates me to give back to others, particularly my fellow students at the university who may be navigating similar challenges. I understand the transformative power of scholarships, and I am committed to being a role model for others, demonstrating how mentorship and support can change lives. ”
