“I was the first in my family to attend college. The scholarship not only provided me with much-needed funds for books and tuition, it also boosted my self-confidence. Knowing that I had the support of journalism professionals inspired me to finish college and get a job in my local newsroom while still in college.”Graduated: California State University, Fullerton, (2003)
