Seeing your message of what this scholarship means makes it not just only a gift of scholarship but encouragement to continue in my ministry and devotion to the Lord. I feel extremely blessed and honored to receive this scholarship. I have been struggling trying to figure out how I am going to pay for school, and now I can pay off at least 2 of my payments for the rest of the year. I am speechless. I received the email of this award right after leading worship and we sang about coming back to the Lord and communing with Him. This is conformation that I am walking with the Lord and following His will. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart!

Thank you so much for choosing me as a scholarship winner! I was shocked, almost in disbelief, when I found out that I had won. To know that someone read my story, was impacted by it, and wanted to help me continue my educational journey is a priceless feeling. I am grateful for the opportunity to win this scholarship and even more appreciative to have actually won. This scholarship has made a difference in my life and will empower me to reach others with the good news of what Christ can do in their lives. Thank you again!

Winning the Nabi Nicole Grant Memorial Scholarship is a profound honor that moves me beyond words. To be chosen in memory of a woman who lived her life in service to Christ and to others feels like a divine confirmation that my journey, my sacrifices, and my calling have not been in vain. As an African American woman striving to heal brokenness through mental health advocacy, this award reaches into places that few can see. It reminds me that my work is not just personal. It is a continuation of a legacy of faith, resilience, and unwavering love. I carry this scholarship with great humility, knowing it represents not only financial support but a spiritual connection to Nicole’s beautiful life and spirit. I will honor her memory by living and leading with compassion, integrity, and an unshakable commitment to helping others find light in their darkest hours. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for reminding me that purpose always finds its way to those who walk in faith.

As a first-generation college student pursuing my PhD, this scholarship means everything to me. I believe God has led me down this amazing yet chaotic journey and I don't regret a thing. My purpose is to help others who were in the system and to continue the work I started as a probation officer. I couldn't accomplish everything I wanted to do in that role, but I'm believing as a researcher, that I will be able to impact the change that needs to take place. I strongly believe that I can do ALL things in Christ Jesus whom strengthens me and I thank you for your support on my beloved journey.
