I am deeply honored to have been selected as a recipient of the Codebreakers and Changemakers Scholarship, and I'd like to thank Ignite Arts & STEM for supporting my educational journey. This scholarship will play a crucial role in my studies as I work towards becoming a hypnotherapist. Please know that your generosity is fueling progress in an evolving field, and I hope to make you proud through my contributions.

Being a winner of this scholarship is an honor and I am grateful to be blessed with this help. Not only does this push me to pursue my dreams but my family gets a little more weight lifted off their shoulders on wondering how I'm going to be successful in college without the proper funds. Once again I would like to thank Ignite Arts for allowing me to be a winner among other young STEM students like myself and only plan to have success as I approach my high school graduation.

I really appreciate this contribution to my education! I plan to use this money to buy the supplies I need to go through college, and create beautiful pieces of art. Thank you all so much for making this scholarship in the first place, and thank you for awarding my hard work!

Tatiana Plummer

Thank you for being apart of my future goals and aspirations! During tough times, I want to be a source of light for those in need. With this scholarship I am a step further to achieving that. I thank you all for helping me pursue my education at SCAD.

This scholarship gave me hope and support, a piece of good news in the throes of ending the school year and managing my future at college. I'm very grateful and inspired by this generous scholarship, so thank you, Ignite Arts and STEM. So many exciting things have been happening since I received your scholarship, getting my first painting sold, then my first paid graphic design commission from the nonprofit I work for, and soon I will be starting college! It's been hectic, but it is wonderful to think about the people silently rooting for my success. Thank you again so much. Sincerely, Theresa Cruz :)

Being a recipient of the Code Breaker and Change Makers Scholarship is an honor, and I am very glad and appreciative to have been chosen among many other great STEM leaders. I would like to thank Ignite Arts and STEM for choosing to invest in my education as I graduate from high school and attend Morehouse College to major in Computer Science.

I'm very thankful for this, and many other similar scholarships, because it allows minorities to have a higher chance at pursuing their dreams. College is expensive and that can be a big obstacle, for many, when deciding what to study or if they should even study at all; therefore, I will always be grateful for scholarships, and the people who have offer them, for taking a bit of the worries a way.

Brittany Buehl

I just wanted to give a huge thank you for helping to fund my higher education. It means a lot to me especially since I have encountered many financial troubles throughout my life. My goal is to become a doctor because I have a lot of love for people and want to make a difference in people's lives, and I am confident that this will get me there. Thank you once again, this made my day. :) Thank you, Brittany

Being a winner of this scholarship means a new opportunity to push me closer towards the pursuit and diversifying of the professional creative arts; an opportunity that not many receive. It means the world to me to be able to pursue my passions and ensure my mother’s efforts and years of support—my driving force—will be honored after my high school graduation.
