Raymond James, The Mike Borza Group Scholar
Area of study | Chemistry
I am very honored and grateful to receive a scholarship from the VAW/VRC Merit Scholarship Foundation. These scholarships mean so much to me because they have relieved some of the financial burden of college and will help me to focus on my education and all the amazing opportunities at the University of Virginia, such as research and study abroad. I also want to thank my father and the entire Navy community for their impactful service, which I have looked up to my entire life. As I further my education, I will continue to embody the same values of service and sacrifice, working hard to help the community around me and never settling for anything but the best. I will continue to push myself to expand my knowledge and skills, and to use what I learn to make an impact on others. To the VAW/VRC Merit Scholarship Foundation and its donors, thank you again for making my goals more achievable.
