Best part of the Scholars Program: My favorite part of the Scholars Program is the fact that I’m surrounded by so many awesome and ambitious individuals. It’s a great feeling knowing that the people around you are always there to help. Also, I love how the Scholars Program has broadened my horizons and has opened so many new doors for me.
