"Receiving scholarship support has shaped my experience at SNHU by opening the door to possibility."

What made you choose Southern New Hampshire University, and what do you value most about your experience here?

I chose SNHU because I was attracted to the programs they offer. I also like the flexibility and their willingness to work with each individual student. The online accessibility was also a big one for me, and the resources offered, such as OAC accommodations and tutoring, were a big plus.

How do the scholarships and financial aid you receive make it possible for you to attend SNHU? How have they made a difference for you?

Scholarships and financial aid make it possible for me to attend SNHU because otherwise I would not have that security to know I can cover my materials, such as textbooks, notebooks, pencils and technology I need. They make all the difference. I wouldn't be able to do this otherwise.

What message would you like to share with the alumni and friends whose generosity made your scholarship possible?

I want to thank them for all the help and support they're providing me with. Beyond grateful for the investment they are making towards my future.

Tell us about your journey to and through SNHU. What inspired you to pursue your degree, and what are you most proud of so far?

I am inspired by the injustices of the world and the people courageous enough to dare and swim upstream.

How has receiving scholarship support shaped your experience at SNHU or influenced your future plans?

Receiving scholarship support has shaped my experience at SNHU by opening the door to possibility.

Has a person, class, or experience at SNHU had a meaningful impact on you? Please share.

My counselor, James Thomas.
