Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who helped me achieve another milestone in my life: attend college. Since a young age, I have aspired to become something bigger than what the circumstances were giving me. I was born in a small poor family in Mexico. Thanks to the support of my American grandparents, I was able to continue my education in the United States, but I didn't want to stop there. I studied hard in order to keep my grades in the highest percentile in my school, which helped me obtain many choices in what colleges to attend, but Juniata, which was known for its great science program, attracted me more. If it wasn't for this scholarship, I don't know where I would be, or even if I would have been able to continue reaching for my goal.

Sincerely,
Jason Ray-Alfaro
