Scholar Spotlight: Mandy Liu
“As a first-generation college student, being able to attend college and carry on the hopes of my family is something I take pride in. At the same time, I really hope that I will be a part of the younger generation that can help bring positive change to the community that provided me with the tools to thrive. This scholarship will help me by lessening the financial burden of attending college and at the same time provide me with the motivation to continue on my journey to success.”
Mandy is a rising sophomore at Lehigh University.
