“Being a Dolphin Scholar means honoring my dad’s service as a submariner and making the most of every opportunity his sacrifice helped make possible. As an out-of-state student, this scholarship has eased a big financial burden on my family, letting me focus on what really drives me – making the world a better place by improving medical devices. It reminds me that I’m part of something bigger than myself, and that pushes me to lead with purpose, gratitude, and heart.”
