Quotes:

“The student is not only a high achiever academically, she is also very well-rounded and personable in and out of church. She takes the time to help others or insert a joke or two. She has an incredible gift that is able to sense when others need a pick-me-up and she immediately applies her effort into alleviating the concern.”

Clara Ojo-AkinwumijuSunday School Teacher

“I have just finished my first year at the University of Virginia as a pre-med student.….Being engrossed in a community that allows me to acknowledge my growth has provided me with the encouragement I need to actively pursue my goal of becoming a Neurologist. I understand that a long road is required before reaching this goal; however, the fulfillment gained from impacting a life every day is worth every (painful) exam that I will have to conquer in order to get there…..I am beyond grateful for your generosity.”
