Being awarded a Heart on Sleeves, Minds in College scholarship would be a huge validation of my unique identity as a vegan Nigerian and my devotion to my values. It would make a strong statement that my dedication to veganism and my Nigerian ancestry are not contradictory with one another but can coexist peacefully. With the help of this scholarship, I would not only be able to pay for my education but also increase veganism's visibility in Nigerian society, inspiring others to lead compassionate and environmentally friendly lives, for this opportunity, I want to exude my deep gratitude.
