I had never heard about this scholarship before, until I got an email from Iowa State about it. So I decided to check it out and figured why not I might as well try. I didn't think I would really get it and when I did I was so happy and surprised. The letter was sitting on my kitchen table when I got home from work and I opened it and started freaking out and ran to wake up my mom. She was just as excited as I was.
I have two younger sisters at home and it has always just been my mom and us, so I knew I was going to have to pay for college on my own. And this scholarship saved me. With this scholarship it is possible for me to go to college, so in other words this scholarship means the world to me.
The Hixson program is great, it offers so much and has been a great help. I have learned a lot that I probably wouldn't have learned on my own, like information on studying abroad and national student exchange. It has also helped me make great, life-long friendships. So I'd just like to say a big Thanks! to the Hixson Program.
