It will help with paying for resources that will make reading and understanding text easier, allowing for me to be more successful going into freshman year. It is an honor to earn this scholarship and remember Joseph. This scholarship creates a network of people who understand the challenges and strengths associated with dyslexia, allowing us to exchange experiences, strategies, and encouragement throughout college.

2024: As a Morelli Scholar, I have had the opportunity to be mentored and mentor incoming first-year students. It has been a unique experience to see this scholarship’s positive effect on students. I have connected with people all over the US and heard different stories about how their learning disability has made them better human beings. I am excited to keep this community growing!
