Quotes:

Dear Anchor Scholarship Foundation and T. Nash & Gloria M. Broaddus Foundation,

Let me express how honored I am to have received this scholarship; this means a lot to me, and this money will help me further my educational and career goals. My dream is to help people, to be a therapist, but it is only through the help of others that I can one day achieve this dream. Years from now, when I’ve stepped into my career and am helping patients, it will be in part thanks to the support you’ve given me today, which has helped lay the foundation for the therapist I will become. In the meantime, this scholarship is a powerful encouragement as I continue my journey toward becoming a therapist. Your investment in my education helps to validate my goals and strengthens my commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I truly cannot thank you enough for believing in me and my potential.

–  Sophia
