What does this scholarship mean to you? Without it, I would not have been able to attend Culver. It has allowed me to make some of the most meaningful friendships and memories I have ever had in my life as well as expand my horizons. The many resources and opportunities the school offers are why Culver is so valuable to me. Culver provided me autonomy, experience, and community. All of those resulted in an experience that continues to shape how I live, what I do, how I view the world and my vision of what it should be.
