The way I found out about the Hixson scholarship was on my school's scholarship list that was posted and updated in the guidance office of our school. I applied for it shortly after I saw how much it could help me with paying for college and the requirements were actually possible for me. I was honestly surprised when I learned of being chosen for the scholarship, since it was the only one I actually got out of the ones I applied for.
This scholarship actually means a lot to me. It means the possibility of my education without a massive amount of loans, and it also has helped me be more social. The benfits of the money aspect of the award are obvious. It makes it so I don't owe as much and also is a very large scholarship so it helps a ton. The other benfits however come from the meetings we have. Going into college I knew no one but the few friends from my highschool that go to ISU and I'm not the most social person. So with the mini section meetings I've gotten to know my fellow section mates which has helped me gain some confidence in befriending people outside of hixson. It was one of my goals to be more social starting college and hixson has helped me accomplish that.
I am very greatful of this scholarship and can't say how much it has helped and will help me in the future.
