The Polk State 91重口 has been a blessing to me and my family. Their investment in me is also an investment in my kids, and for that I am forever grateful."
鈥� Kaitlyn Wright, Polk State Nursing student
鈥淚 was truly honored to find out that I had been awarded the Fancelli Scholarship. That being said, I didn't have the biggest grasp on what it truly meant. But, I was definitely excited. The Fancelli Scholarship has been a true blessing and nothing but a positive impact on my educational journey. I wouldn't be where I am today without this scholarship.鈥�
