Ryan's Story

“I love being a student at UC, and every scholarship has allowed me to continue that journey, opening the door for me to make greater contributions to the community through leadership."
Ryan spoke with us about the times he's had issues with student loans and struggles with personal finances. He expressed how scholarships and awards, like the Donald C. Ainslie Leadership Award, have been fundamental in giving him the breathing space to navigate the challenges of attending university on top of other responsibilities.
