FORWARD Voices

Rosario Garcia, Future Gradaute

“When I received the NIU scholarships it instantly lessened the financial burden, and I was able to not only focus more on my studies but be able to form relationships with my classmates. I was able to participate in activities on campus instead of hurrying to work every day. Donating to support students not only takes away the financial burden but also gifts the students with time to integrate into campus life and connect with classmates.”
