For me, my Johnson School degree is a launch pad to make my corners of the world more equitable. I’m the first one in my immediate family to go to graduate school, and I could not have accessed such a fantastic institution without this assistance. Because of my scholarships, and this degree, I’m entering a state of financial security unheard of by my family.
