''Earning a master's degree has always been a goal of mine. I love learning, and I really look forward to pursuing my career as a diplomat afterwards. However, most colleges were too expensive for me to even think of furthering my education after the first four years. With the Rockford Promise Scholarship, I'm able to afford both my bachelor's degree now and, hopefully, my master's in the future!''
