Impact

There weren’t opportunities like UNCSA in my backyard. In fact, there isn’t any place in the state where I grew up that even provides a dance major. I didn’t have anyone encouraging me about the future or potential I had, in pursuing dance after high school. I had no option but to leave, and it was scary. There is a huge group of people in the Midwest who miss opportunities like this. This scholarship helped me to close that gap. It was an encouragement, saying we believe in you, because there are others less fortunate than me that can’t leave. They are stuck where they are missing out on the potential they have. I am on my own path, while it might not be as direct as others, it’s a zig and then a zag but either way, I will end up where I need to be. I hope to someday go back to where I am from and encourage others to follow their dreams no matter the distance. I see the responsibility I have to share with other dancers who are just starting and deciding their career, it is all a part of giving back what has been given to me. –Third Year Undergraduate Recipient
