Candace Bowers

Candace loves that writing is a form of art that has given her a place to compose thoughtful material where she expertly utilizes different styles and techniques to communicate information in new ways. She is a full-time student at Columbia University in the City of New York, where she studies Creative Writing and English. She has engaged in writing workshops and attended seminars with talented groups of writers and world-class faculty in the nation's literary capital. She won a Silver Medal in the 2022 National Post-Secondary Russian Essay Contest, where she submitted an essay she wrote in Russian. Candace is a Content Writer and has been writing for Bold since 2022. In this position, she develops well-researched, in-depth, thoroughly considered articles, blog posts, and research reports that provide an authoritative perspective on topics across scholarships, education, and philanthropy. Candace enjoys uncovering opportunities and fighting student debt by introducing students to funding opportunities they might not otherwise have known. When she isn’t writing, you can find her spending her free time reading her favorite author Franz Kafka, watching One Chicago, studying, and spending time with her beloved partner.
