Our Scholarship Winners are Ready to Change the World
Jennifer Ochiagha is a full-time grad student in mental health with a full-time job AND an internship. "There’s benefits at the end of the rainbow. So that’s what I look towards," she says. Shawn Riley is "a queer black teen man about to change the world." He's eyeing a career in medicine. They both say their scholarships from Goddard and our partner organization, the Isaacs Center, are helping them pursue their dreams.
