Former AACC student Heather Williams shares how the Maryland Promise Scholarship covered her tuition while she finished her nursing degree. Now Williams is working in pediatrics and pursuing her master's degree.
Financial aid was a huge help. I didn't qualify for a ton of things, but they walked me through the process of getting the scholarship. They pointed me in the direction of the Maryland Promise Scholarship, which thankfully paid for all of my nursing school. ...
I wish people knew (about the scholarship). A girlfriend of mine told me and I was like, 'Are you kidding me? I never qualify for anything, but I'll try,' and sure enough. The whole process was super simple. ...
It covered 100% of my tuition, so that was amazing for me. It was not something I was expecting. It was a huge financial relief for me and my family. Even now I tell my girlfriend who told me about it, 'Thank you so much.'
