“The reality that I have been faced with since being away at college is that money does not grow on trees. Although I knew this prior to entering my first year, I didn’t know it to the extent that I do now. Thanks to financial aid and the endowed scholarships that I’ve received, the pressures of this truth have been diminished. Assumption University has made it possible for me to enjoy a quality education and an adventure of a lifetime, for which I will never be able to properly thank it.”
