In the face of adversity, the Powerful Purses scholarship has been a life-changing force in my academic journey. When I was at TCC, eager to transfer but struggling to find the funds, the Powerful Purses scholarship swooped in and provided the much-needed support I required.

I remember vividly, anxiously confiding in my case worker at Gladney about my financial worries while waiting for my son and his parents to arrive. She encouraged me to apply for the scholarship on the spot, and I am forever grateful for that moment. The scholarship not only covered my classes and books but also provided a little extra for food, easing my financial burden significantly.

Receiving this scholarship was truly a turning point in my life, allowing me to continue pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Evolutionary Medicine. While the COVID pandemic initially led me to pause my studies and start a successful business, J&K Online Development, I am eager to return to college as soon as I can expand my team.

I wholeheartedly thank Powerful Purses and everyone involved for their unwavering support and generosity. This scholarship has not only shaped my academic career but also empowered me to dream bigger and achieve more than I ever thought possible.”
