I am a low-income student struggling to afford a college education. So, This scholarship helped me tremendously! The amount went into my college account to help cover the semester's tuition fee. On my journey as a student, I have made significant progress: I got accepted at Mizzou and the Honors College. I am an undergrad researcher. I volunteer at Newman Center, handling food for needy people in the Columbia area. I also work part-time at school and CPT at a Local factory in Columbia. My name has been on the High Dean's List for two semesters. My current Gpa is 4.0. Plus, I received the Herbergh award. This scholarship will help me keep going to become my family's first engineer. Thank you very much! I am very grateful for the opportunity given to me!

Dear Snap Finance Team, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for selecting me as a recipient of the Snap EmpowHER Scholarship. Being awarded this scholarship is not only a tremendous honor, but also a meaningful affirmation of my academic goals, leadership journey, and commitment to uplifting others. As a senior at Sumter County High School ranked in the top 4 of my class, I have balanced a rigorous academic load—including dual enrollment and leadership roles—with three varsity sports and community service. I plan to attend Georgia Institute of Technology to study Industrial Design, where I hope to use my creativity and education to develop solutions that empower underserved communities and promote equity in technology. Receiving this $2,500 award helps alleviate some of the financial pressure on my family, especially following my mother’s recent job layoff. It also allows me to focus more fully on my future—one where I aim to pay this support forward through mentorship and inclusive design work. Thank you again for your generosity and for investing in young women who are passionate about making a difference. The Snap EmpowHER Scholarship is more than financial assistance—it is encouragement to continue leading with purpose. With deep appreciation, Lauren Harris

Because of you all, I will be able to obtain a bachelor’s degree as a first generation student with no support. Because of you all, when times get hard as student, I remember that I’m not doing this for my self, I’m doing this for the people who believe in me. & because of you all, my faith is restored in hard work paying off and philanthropy in America. You all are amazing and I’m extremely grateful. I can’t wait until I graduate from college to start giving back to students in need like I was. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Snap Finance Scholarship Panel!

Thank you so much, I am very grateful to have been given this scholarship. Being awarded this scholarship has reduced my tuition costs to something more manageable and has given me a sense of relief. I have spent the last two years struggling to afford to pay for college out of pocket and not take a loan out and this has given me that chance once again. I am very grateful for this and cannot wait to continue my education and see where it leads me.
