Kylie Pickett

The University of Texas at Austin

"Hello, whoever is reading this. I’m Kylie Pickett, a future freshman studying psychology at the University of Texas at Austin who dreams of one day moving on to law school and joining the world of state politics. I could not even begin to express the full extent of my gratitude for this scholarship. To no surprise, my wallet has not been immune to the recent changes in our country. My family owns a small dine-in restaurant which is definitely not a pandemic-friendly source of income. To top it off, about one month after coronavirus broke out in the United States, my house burned down. Despite these obstacles, my family works hard everyday to stay afloat and keep a positive attitude. This scholarship comes as a blessing to our situation and serves to help us do just that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

This scholarship will most definitely help me in regards to continuing my very competitive, and pricey education. Being one to switch majors, figuring out what I truly wanted to do, I, unfortunately, used quite a lot of money on certain classes that didn’t fit my new major's requirements. I am an Undeclared Pre- Med major, looking into Occupational Therapy Assistant. This money will without a doubt, put me more at ease with my financial situation since money has been extremely tight due to my mother's injury, which unfortunately caused her to stay out of work for a few months now. Therefore, this money will be of huge help, towards me and my mother. Words cannot express how grateful I am for this scholarship. Thank-you Scholarship Points!"
