Eder L. - UC Berkeley

The Mary Kaiser Education Scholarship has benefited me tremendously in both furthering my academic career and my growth as a person. Coming from a low-income latino family, and being the first in my family to go to college, the Mary Kaiser Education Scholarship has helped me have access to textbooks that I wouldn't have been able to get, and have access to technology that has helped me develop my critical thinking skills at my university. I am extremely grateful for the scholarship and I appreciate all the help it has given me.

The Mary Kaiser Education Scholarship has opened doors to invaluable opportunities and experiences that I might not have had otherwise.

CCRC and the Mary Kaiser Education Scholarship has been an amazing support for myself and my family. When I first learned about this scholarship I had just been accepted to UCSB for my sociology degree and it alleviated a large stress for me as a single mother working full time and being the sole provider for my child who was also completing remote learning from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Times where drastically changing but because of this scholarship I felt capable of success because my school was covered. I was able to graduate with my Sociology degree and then with my UCSB paralegal certification and soon I will be applying for law school and be an attorney at the Public Defender office which is my dream. 

Thank you again for all your contributions and providing this opportunity to others like me that would otherwise not be able to make their dreams come true.
