My name is Chris White and I am a Black First-Generation college student that is determined to break generational cycles. I am extremely passionate about Entrepreneurship, Graphic Design, Music, and Advocacy. My life-long goal is to combine my passion for business, art, and music into an entrepreneurial project. While I still have a lot to learn, I am determined to work towards personal success, as well as give back to my community. As a Black man, there is no shortage of adversities that I have needed to overcome. Despite my hardships, my passions fuel my drive and I am confident that I will succeed. Whether or not your organization decides to offer me a scholarship, I am eternally grateful for your consideration. If fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from you, it will do wonders in relieving some of the financial barriers I have in school (tuition, housing, and buying textbooks for classes).
