I am a first-generation student who has always dreamed of going to college to become a teacher, and I was always afraid that I would not get that opportunity due to my financial situation. Now, thanks to generous scholarship support, I am able to fulfill my dreams of getting a higher education so that I might be able to become a teacher and help others learn. I cannot wait to have my own classroom one day and foster a yearning for education in those students.

Because of scholarship support, I was able to go above and beyond at Kent State, becoming the best I can be. The experiences and leadership skills I’ve gained and the support I’ve received are proof that good things happen through others.

Crawford Hall is having such a positive impact on our students. It is transformative in terms of the type of space and technology they have access to compared to what they have had in the past. This is because of you. I could not be more grateful.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, I've made it almost halfway through the nursing program debt free. This has really impacted me and relieved a lot of financial stress. I love being in the nursing program and learning from professors who are working nurses and bring real-world experience to our classes.
