“This Hologic scholarship will be of great help by financially backing my college expenses as it lifts the huge burden placed on my parents...”

“Being born and raised in America to parents born in Vietnam who had to leave in search of a more prosperous life, I found it my duty to capitalize on the opportunity that my parents did not have. … This Hologic scholarship will be of great help by financially backing my college expenses as it lifts the huge burden placed on my parents. I will never forget the helping hand that the Hologic Scholarship Program has extended to me.”

“I am pursuing a college education as a legal studies major because there are many people who are unable to afford a good and well-practiced lawyer.”

“I am pursuing a college education as a legal studies major because there are many people who are unable to afford a good and well-practiced lawyer. I want to be able to give others a fair shot in the courtroom without money being a big issue. The Hologic scholarship gives me the opportunity to continue my way through college with less of a financial burden on my shoulders. Thank you!”
