What drew you to the Forty Acres Scholars Program?
I was drawn to the Forty Acres Scholars Program because of the genuine, meaningful connections among all members. I’ve seen firsthand how the program brings together individuals from various backgrounds and encourages open, heartfelt conversation. This ability to connect deeply despite our differences is incredibly appealing to me. I value the chance to engage with peers, staff, and alumni who bring different perspectives and experiences to the table, knowing that these conversations will help me grow as a person. The supportive, inclusive environment of FASP promises not only to enhance my college experience but also to help me build lifelong, authentic relationships!

What makes your scholar cohort unique?
I believe my cohort is unique in how quickly we all became best friends. The love and support we have for one another is both inspiring and refreshing. It’s amazing to think that we haven’t known each other for very long. I know I can turn to any member of my cohort for anything because we are always there for one another—whether it's a study buddy, a hug, or a good laugh. My scholar cohort are truly my people, and I couldn’t be more grateful for every one of them!
