Hello, my name is Emiliano Ortiz. I was one of the LBCAF scholarship recipients currently attending Kennesaw State University. About a year ago, I would never have thought that I would be attending college or even doing well in college. My family had never had much money, especially enough to fully fund me through college. I was so concerned about how I am going to pay for it, how much it will cost, or will I go into debt.
When I received news that I even had the opportunity to apply for this scholarship, I took it without hesitation. Now that I was fortunate enough to obtain this scholarship, I am able to worry less about the money aspect of college and focus more on the school work itself. I have good grades within my first semester of college, and that is thanks to the LBCAF Committee for giving me the opportunity to focus on my education rather than worry about the financial aspects.

...it is an unbelievable blessing to have the physical and financial support of LBCAF. With me and my sister both attending college at the same time, it has removed a large stressor from our family’s minds. We are all incredibly grateful for the blessing you have provided to our family. The continued support from the LBCA is overwhelmingly appreciated by every student and family.
I have been blessed with amazing mentors who are there when I have questions or just to check in on me! They have made a great impact on my education, and I hope that the mentor program will continue to reach students the way it has reached me. Thank you all for your support of Rabun County students!
