“Thank you for your generosity, which has allowed me to move forward in my academic goals. Growing up in a less privileged community has not only offered financial and academic challenges, but has also helped me realize the value of a college education. This has allowed me to pay for my tuition and come out of college debt-free.”

“My main career goal is to start my own sneaker reselling business. I would like to open a shop in Flagstaff to bring more notice to the sneaker world. I want to succeed in my business to help my community here in Flagstaff and on the Navajo Reservation.”
“Both of my grandmothers had a small roadside business where tourists would buy some of their handmade jewelry and crafts. They taught me many things about accommodating people and ensuring they had a comfortable stay. Finishing my education is important to me since I am the first person in my family to go.”
