Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
Grace truly loves being a student. School is her favorite place to be because it’s where she gets to discover new ideas, ask big questions, and stretch her thinking every single day. Learning energizes her. Whether she’s diving into a new subject, solving a problem, or sharing her thoughts in class, she shows up with curiosity and enthusiasm. She’s also a true social butterfly. Grace thrives in the community of her classroom.

Grace’s favorite subject is science. She’s endlessly curious about how the world works and loves diving into experiments and making new discoveries. Learning feels like an adventure to her. Of all the kinds of science, she’s especially passionate about animal science.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
A $20,000 award would make a life-changing difference in helping Grace reach her educational goals. As a medically complex student who also uses a wheelchair, Grace approaches learning with resilience, determination, and a deep love of school. However, accessing education often requires additional resources beyond what is typically provided. This award would remove barriers and create opportunities that allow her to fully participate and thrive academically like specialized adaptive technology.
