Winning this scholarship means a lot to me, it will assist me in building relationships with professionals in the industry. As well as reducing the debt burden of college which will allow me to focus on my academic studies while continuing to actively serve in my community. Thank you for the generous funding.

To continue my education, I have decided to enroll in the master’s program for Business Administration at NCCU. I plan to have a concentration in Real Estate and Wealth Management. This will help me get even closer to my future goals of being a hotel developer and becoming an owner someday. This scholarship has put me closer to accomplishing my goals and I could not be more grateful.
