New American Scholarship
Recently, the Christian Science Monitor interviewed me, asking about my experiences here at Champlain and how my New American Scholarship has impacted my life. Without the New American Scholarship, I probably would not be attending Champlain College. I was accepted into Castleton State College, a few hours away from Burlington. I chose to apply to Castleton because I wanted to be away from my family. I then found out that I was award the New American Scholarship. As much as I wanted to be away from my family, but I thought about the debt I would be in after college. If I attended Castleton, I will be in debt like most college students, but for Champlain with the New American, my debt would be little to nothing. How can I pass it up?
My major right now is Multi-Media and Graphic Designs, but originally it was Criminal Justice. I know, quite a leap right? My parents encouraged me to pick a major that would ensured me a high paying job after college. They believe that artist don't make any money. But then I realized, even if I can't get a job after college with a graphic designs major, I don't really have to worry about anything. I won't really be in debt.
