The Bried Family Scholarship for Sober Students has benefitted students across our campus community, we are thankful for our students sharing their story and the impact of this scholarship on their lives.

"Being a recipient of the Bried Family Scholarship gave me the opportunity to continue my education without stress. Due to my mother's medical bills in struggling with addiction, she wasn't able to contribute towards my education at USD. When I found out about the Scholarship for Sober Students, I was relieved to see that someone wanted to show support for my education. As a USD student, I was able to continue encouraging healthy living habits through my time as an RA and student leader." - Anonymous 

"The Bried Family Scholarship provided much-needed financial support during my time at USD, helping me to focus on my studies and reduce the amount of hours I worked on the side. This decreased my stress and enabled me to participate in more activities supporting the recovery community at USD and beyond. As a proud sober person, I was honored to be chosen for this scholarship. Because of the support I received, I now work as an ER nurse helping to save people's lives." - Lindsay, Masters of Science in Nursing, Class of 2023
