Testimonials
-
The (Nikki) D. Scott Scholarship is one of the biggest contributors to my college and career success. Back in my senior year in High School, I received great news that I was a recipient of the Nikki Scholarship Fund. This news filled my heart with joy because my father at this time was struggling to make ends meet.
During this time, I was uncertain if my family would be able to afford my college tuition and other expenses and I even considered not attending college. Nikki Scholarship came in at the right time and gave me the motivation to pursue my dreams. In college, I majored in Electrical Engineering and I am currently working as an Electrical Engineer at a very good manufacturing company. Thanks to the (Nikki) D. Scott Scholarship, I was able to buy textbooks, course materials, and cover other important expenses which made it easy for me to learn well and excel in college. I am very thankful to the (Nikki) D. Scott Scholarship fund for supporting me during college and making my dreams a reality.
To all high school students, keep pushing, never give up, and study hard. If you do this, your dreams will become a reality.
