“During the time I lost my HOPE scholarship, my dad passed away, and it was an incredibly difficult period for me. My grades suffered, and I ended up having to pay out of pocket for a while. With the support of the KHA program, I was able to refocus, take extra classes over the summer, raise my GPA, and eventually regain my scholarship." ~ Adrianna Miller, Fall 2024 Program Participant 

"When I was given the opportunity to be a part of the KHA program, I was extremely grateful. The support provided through the program helped bridge the gap left by the loss of my HOPE Scholarship and allowed me to remain in school and continue working toward my goals. I sincerely hope the program continues to grow and positively impact even more students in the years to come." ~ Houston Jackson, Sophomore Health Professions major

“The Keep Hope Alive Program helped me tremendously when I was worried about staying enrolled in school and continuing my education. Everyone was incredibly helpful, supportive, and quick to assist me through the process. Thanks to the program, I am now back on track and working toward regaining my HOPE Scholarship while continuing to move forward with my educational goals.” - Journey Ancrum, sophomore, Informational Technology major 

“The Keep Hope Alive program truly helps keep hope alive. When I went through a rough patch and wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to continue my college education based on one poor semester, Keep Hope Alive came to my rescue and allowed me to further my education and work on getting my GPA back up without stressing about finances. Keep Hope Alive has been a saving grace to me, and I don’t know where I would be without it!” - Lena Welborn, junior, Marketing major
