There are not enough words out there to express my gratitude to the Barber Family Foundation for awarding me a scholarship. Reaching higher education was a goal of mine from a young age. Today, I am growing to become a leader at Howard University because BFF chose to look at higher education as an opportunity for students to achieve their dreams, and not just a debt to be paid. As I enter my second year, I am less afraid of the future because Barber Family Foundation chose to see me. Thank you.

Throughout my time at UVA thus far, I have recognized my goals of obtaining a foreign language minor and entering pharmacy school after my undergraduate studies. I was unsure as to what I wanted to do two years ago as a high school graduate and even last year as a rising 2nd year, but the BF Foundation has been there to support me the entire way. I am eternally grateful to have been able to pursue my goals with their help for the past three years!

Kyle L.

Wayne Canterbury High School – Fort Wayne, Indiana

I am a graduating senior at Canterbury High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana; I am planning to attend Purdue University Fort Wayne in the fall as a freshman, and have chosen biology as my prospective major and may also minor in music, history, or a language. I hope to pursue a career in the medical field, and my desire to do so has been strengthened by the death of my father on account of health complications. I hope to use my experience to help others in the future by caring for the health of patients to try to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. This generous scholarship from the Barber Family Foundation will help make my pursuit of a meaningful healthcare career a possibility by reducing my college expenses, which I would like to thank them for. The career path I plan on working towards is quite costly between college and professional school, and the opportunity to receive the education I would need would not be a secure reality without the assistance of outside scholarships such as the one I received from the Barber Family Foundation. Attending college will enable me to continue to expand my knowledge, explore my interests, and grow as a person, and receiving financial assistance to cover the costs associated with it is truly a gift for which I am extremely grateful.

It also means a lot to my family, as they are working to put my twin sister and I through college by continuing to find ways to ease any financial stress. I am very excited for these next three years of undergrad, and I am even more happy knowing that the Barber Family Foundation is one of the reasons as to why I can continue my educational journey. The work you all do for other students like me is amazing, and I know that it improves the lives of many students. Thank you for all you do!
