How has the PKFEA program benefited your personal, professional, or academic growth?

This scholarship has relieved such a big financial burden off my shoulders while navigating college. Not only has this scholarship provided me with opportunities to grow as a student, but they have also allowed me to make valuable connections in college and in the workforce. PKFEA has also provided me with professional development funds to help pay for my housing in Dallas for my summer internship with WJHW. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to experience this life-changing opportunity.
