Personal Statement

I joined the Morgridge Family Foundation Student Support Foundation (SSF) during my first semester at UCF in the LEAD Scholars Academy. SSF quickly became especially meaningful to me because we are able to encourage the success of my fellow UCF peers who are experiencing extreme financial hardship. The SSF board provides one-time grants based on student applications. When students are enduring extreme challenges, we are there to soften the financial burden and help provide them hope by showing that we care about their well-being. I am continuously motivated by seeing how a grant of just $200 can make such a difference in a student’s life. Each week, the SSF board grants funds to students who just need a little extra financial assistance, and I am honored to be a part of that journey for them. When I read reflections from recipients on how these funds have helped them make a rent payment, pay for a car repair, or purchase necessary medication, it further impacts me as a future philanthropist and inspires me to one day become a social change agent who can make this world a better place.
