“I’m a member of the John V. Roach Honors College and it’s within this community that I’ve found my greatest mentors. Each person at the Honors College has made my experience at TCU exponentially more meaningful. These courses and interactions have taken my education beyond learning for a future career into learning truly for the sake of curiosity and exploration. TCU has shown me that I can be a change-maker in society and has provided me with the tools, knowledge and skills to do so.”

"Being the first in my family to be able to attend college and pursue a bachelor’s degree meant a lot to me. I always knew I wanted to go to college and that the only way for me to pay was through scholarships. TCU has made a difference in my life by teaching me that there are no limits to my goals.”
