What the Hixson Award means to me!

I would have to say the Hixson Award means the world to me. It is what made college a guaranteed thing. I had actually not finished the application for the award until the last possible minute...I know that is terrible...I should have finished it out sooner. Even though I didn't get all the way done I had spent hours and hours working on my paragraphs.

Well like a good amount of people I was starting to doubt getting any scholarships and was starting to get down on my luck. Well just as that was starting to happen I received a big envelope from the Christina Hixson scholarship office.

I was extremely excited to see that I had received the scholarship. It opened up a whole new set of options. It  made it so I had less loans and made me eligible for a loan that is unsubsidized and has the possibility of no interest gain at all! This is all exciting and allows me to go to Iowa State for fashion and to pursue my dream. I am so thankful for this scholarship.
