When I think about my time at Southeastern so far, the phrase that comes into my mind is, “an answer to prayer.” The community, the leadership, the professors, and so much more are things that I have been praying for since I was 15 years old. As a pastor’s kid, I have always been a part of my parent’s ministry. Here at SEU, I was able to discover my own passions for ministry, and how I want to show people Jesus for the rest of my life. None of this would have been possible without your gift. Thank you for being a part of helping me pursue the calling that the Lord has for me.
I never thought I was going to be able to get a degree from an American institution. After 3 very long years of law school in Brazil, through the scholarships that I was granted, I was able to come to SEU and find happiness again. Southeastern not only gave me a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it allowed me to find my purpose through the doors that were opened to me.
Scholarships are transformative. They empower individuals like me to pursue dreams with confidence and ambition. Extending far beyond the individual, scholarships create a ripple effect that touches the lives of families, communities, and even entire nations. I am a product of this and I owe all of it to my Fire Family.
