We’d been discussing what projects we had coming up that we needed to go and buy materials for and I was stressed because I only have a very limited income and I don't know where more money is going to come from. And so then the scholarship came and it was just a sigh of relief.

I was looking around on the website and then I saw this scholarship under the course that I was going to do. So I tried my luck, not that I was really hoping to get it, but I got a call back and they said I got a scholarship. I was like “wow, that's awesome”. It's really helped.
