Student Spotlight
Yuritza Olayo
Clements High School (2023 recipient)
“Hello, my name is Yuritza Olayo, and I’m eighteen. I am from Athens, Alabama. I graduated from Clements High School on May 26, which was very exciting for me as a first-generation high school student! I am very grateful for your donation and generosity. This donation will benefit me in many ways. Still, my two main reasons are that I will not be a financial burden to my parents, and I can now comfortably afford to attend community college without working excessive hours. During awards day, they announced the scholarship winners, and I was one of them. I was truly surprised because I did not expect to be selected for any scholarships. After the shock set in and I realized I won, I was very emotional and happy.”
