What the Hixson Award Means to me

To me, the Hixson award meant choosing Iowa State.  It meant that I could go to school without having to really worry about how I was going to pay for it.  It meant less loans and not having to have a job through school.  This scholarship literally meant the world to me.  Without this award, I probably would have chosen to go to a smaller university or a community college at least for a couple years.  Either that, or I would have to be working and had to have taken out a TON of loans in order to make this work.  The Hixson award meant everything to me and I am so thankful for the everyone who keeps the program alive.
