Success Stories
Thanks to the Bright Futures scholarship, I became the first person in my family to graduate from college. I'm now working as a registered nurse at Children's Hospital, giving back to my community every day.
The scholarship didn't just pay for my education—it gave me hope and showed me that someone believed in my potential. I graduated with a degree in engineering and now work on sustainable energy projects.
