"Without scholarships, I would not have the funds to meet basic needs while attending school. Now, I am able to solely focus on my studies and not worry about basic things like rent, groceries, gas, etc. I have accomplished more than I ever would have imagined while here at SU. Seattle University provides practical experience, internships, and course specific work- ALL of which provide me with the tools for a successful transition from school to career."
