As a first-generation college student, the Rhode Island Promise scholarship gave me the confidence and support I needed to succeed in college. The program provided me with not only financial support, but also access to a network of mentors and peers who were also committed to their education. Through the program, I was able to secure an internship that led to a full-time job after graduation. I am proud to be a Rhode Island Promise scholar and grateful for the opportunities it has provided me.
