Words from Brenna…
Imagine the thrill of being recognized and awarded the RI CPCU Scholarship – this was an unforgettable moment of joy, gratitude, and a sense of immense relief for me. Thanks to this incredible financial support, some of the weight of college expenses has been lifted, allowing me to dive headfirst into my education without the constant worry of finances.
As an Art Therapy major, Emmanuel’s immersive art world has provided me with a diverse array of mediums to explore, fostering personal and artistic growth beyond measure. This scholarship has been essential to helping me purchase art supplies for my numerous classes. As a junior captain of the softball team, I’ve been entrusted with a leadership role, guiding, and inspiring my peers—a truly rewarding responsibility that has taught me invaluable lessons both on and off the field.
With the generous assistance of the scholarship, I’ve been empowered to fully embrace both academic pursuits and extracurricular passions, shaping and enriching my experience at Emmanuel College. Nestled in an ideal location for wicked big Sox fans like myself, Emmanuel offers a vibrant environment and sense of community with endless opportunities.
The impact of the RI CPCU Scholarship Fund extends far beyond financial aid; it is a means for support and encouragement that has transformed my collegiate journey. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the compassionate donors whose investment in my future has helped pave the way for endless possibilities.
