I was raise on a small farm located in rural, northeastern, Jay, Oklahoma. If you have ever visited
Oklahoma then you know that majority of rural northeastern Oklahoma is located on a Native American reservation. Living on a reservation and obtaining Native American status, which is ninety-eight prevent of the population, entitles you to free healthcare, commodities, and even local big money scholarships. I am part of the two percent of the population, however, that does not qualify to receive any of these benefits. My life goal is to attend college. For me to be successful in pursuing my dream I will be required to pay for college completely out of pocket considering I am not eligible for local scholarships. The “Courage to Grow Scholarship”
