format_quoteI'm excited to be one of the winners of the Education Future International Scholarship Fall edition. Hailing from a lower-middle-class family in India, studying abroad was my dream since class 12 when I saw my friend going abroad for his bachelor's degree. Today, my family is proud of this achievement and my dream has come true after years. Overall, it was an amazing experience taking part in the entire scholarship process. At one point I thought I may not be selected, but thankfully luck turned my way. I'll make sure to use every penny of the scholarship fund wisely.format_quote
