WinnerBio
I'm a Photonics Science & Engineering student at UCF that was orphaned due to both parents suffering from complications with cancer. Now, I am building myself back up as a first-generation student who is ready to strive for better in life.
As a financially independent student at the age of 18, your generous financial opportunity would support my continued pursuit of education immensely. Thank you for taking the time to consider!
