Financial Aid Success Stories

"Applying for financial aid is one of the best things you can
do. It doesn't take long, and the benefits last a lifetime."

My name is Bao Dinh. I am going to Purdue University Calumet for my pre-dental degree. I appreciate that I was awarded a $1000 scholarship from College Goal Sunday. Financial is a first thing that we need to think about at the first time we are planning to go to college. We need to pay for school such as tuition, books, parking and so on. I think I was really lucky to get this award last summer from Sunday College Goal. The scholarship helped me a lot with my financial. I can use that money to pay for school to solve a lot of problems. It is really good to go to the meeting of Sunday College Goal. We can know more information from there and people are really helpful to help us with everything we need. I was so happy when I got this award and I appreciate that a lot. With this help, I think I can study well for my degree and not to worry about financial.
