“Thank you so much for reaching out and for your encouragement! My start to college has been going well so far. I have a nice schedule this semester, and I am really enjoying learning my way around campus and getting to know new people. It has been an adjustment as Greensboro is nothing like Chicago. I miss home every day, but I do like it here. It has been exciting to settle into this new chapter, and I deeply appreciate the support of the 360 Achievement Scholarship community.
Thank you again for cheering me on, it means a lot!”

“So far, my experience has been a little bit of a rollercoaster, but I am grateful for all the good and stressful moments. Thank you so much for the scholarship opportunity as it has assisted my parents with my tuition cost.
I appreciate you reaching out.”

“I attend Spelman College and so far, my experience has been a little bittersweet. Bitter but non-negative in the sense where I am still adapting to this big transition, I made through leaving Chicago. Sweet overpowers bitter here because, attending an all-girls school really shines a light on the sisterhood aspect. At Spelman, they’re always pushing you to be the best you can be but they also never let you forget that it does take a village to grow and when you feel you have no one else, you remember you have incredible, intelligent, loving, and successful women around you to lean on.
Thank you again!”

“Hi there! Lawrence has been an absolute dream, I’ve made so many good friends here and have loved being on the dive team. We start competing mid October, I’ve been loving my classes and that I get to choose to study on what I’m interested in. The staff here are incredible and ensure that you’re feeling supported to succeed. I feel so grateful for the scholarship because it allowed me to feel supported in choosing the school that I chose and I’m so excited to continue my journey here.”

“I just finished my first week at Loyola, and it has been genuinely great! The campus is beautiful, the professors are great, and the people are lively. It already feels like the perfect place for me, and I honestly could not imagine being anywhere else.
Thank you again for helping make this experience possible through the 360 Achievement Scholarship. Your support means so much, and I am so grateful to be part of this journey.”

“I attend National Louis University Wheeling Campus. I am currently taking my Gen Ed’s, but I am a Business Major hoping to be an entrepreneur! School has been a wonderful experience. With the help from the 360 Achievement Scholarship, I was able to purchase a reliable laptop for classes which, when I’m able to use it, makes everything much easier. I am in classes with upperclassmen which is hard at times, but I am grateful for the opportunity!”
