"The San Diego Education Fund has helped me both financially and emotionally throughout my college experience. The scholarship funds allow me to focus more on my academics, instead of worrying about how I will afford each semester of college. On top of being helped financially, I receive so much support emotionally. I was given the opportunity to make an abundance of connections with scholars around San Diego. I see the San Diego Education Fund as one big community and family. From the one-on-one meetings, to the big scholar meetings, I am able to learn so much. We live in a world of connectivity, and it is crucial for us to connect and further build from these connections. In all, the San Diego Education Fund is filled with so much acceptance, guidance, and love that I will always be thankful for. When they say that they are here for us, they truly are."
