What the scholarship makes possible.
Being involved with the McLendon Foundation is not a one-year commitment; it is a lifelong support system and network where I can count on them for advice, mentorship, and most importantly community.
There is a difference between being invited into a room and believing you have something to offer. The McLendon Foundation gave me both the opportunity and the confidence.
