With a degree in social work, I will be able to continue my career path by assisting the needs of the community. I have background experience working with nonprofits. It was then I knew I wanted to continue to be an advocate and found that Rio Salado now offers a social work degree. I enjoy this because I want to help better others around me, including myself.
Thank you so much for the scholarship! I was so happy to see that I was awarded. I am attending Rio Salado to finish my AA with an emphasis in social work and will be finishing with a BA in social work.
I have been an advocate pretty much my whole life so I feel I will be able to continue to help many more people in this career field. Thank you again for your kindness and I am forever grateful for your assistance. This scholarship will help with the cost of tuition and fees for this semester.
I have struggled health-wise these past few years due to a hospital incident that happened. This year I have started to feel a little feel better and figured it was time to go back to school and finish my degree so that I may continue on my career path. This scholarship has helped with my current finances due to my inability to work a full-time job due to my body healing itself.
