During the summer of 2024, I was thinking of ways to help guide the community I grew up in. In my freshman year of college, I was selected for the 2024 Clariant Scholarship, an award that Clariant opens up to Hacia students studying a STEM related field. During the scholarship celebration I gave a speech about how grateful I was and how someday when I have the ability to, I would like to support students in pursuing a higher education. I am hopeful this same sentiment can continue in others for generations to come.
