“I am honored to have received this scholarship. It has helped my college career by making it more affordable. It is very comforting knowing that each year I’ll have part of the scholarship to help pay for that year’s tuition and books. I am thankful to CHCI for helping achieve my goal, and allowing me to be a part of the CHCI family.”
