The Bedsole Scholars Program has been a wonderful gift to me. It has allowed me to attend the University of my choosing while not having to worry so much about how I am going to afford it. It has helped me to grow as an individual through community service and been a wonderful resource for meeting awesome, motivated individuals who seek to improve themselves and the community around them. The level of support and guidance the program has given me through college is unlike any of scholarship program I have ever heard of. I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today without the help of the Bedsole Scholars program. - Hobie Henning The Bedsole Scholar's program has opened up opportunities for me that will benefit well beyond college.
