Some kind words from our recent recipients
“I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for being awarded the first Doves Foundation Scholarship. I am incredibly grateful and deeply appreciative of your support and generosity. The fact that you believe in me and are willing to support my educational journey is deeply touching and motivating. I will be a freshman university student in the fall. My family is stressing about paying the balance of my college bill that is due this summer. This scholarship is a Godsend. I am pursuing nursing and cannot wait to learn more about how to help others. I hope the lessons that I have learned through the struggles in my life can be used for good. I am determined to not let my past define me, but to use those experiences instead for something positive. I am uniquely equipped now to identify, empathize, and support those in similar situations. This scholarship money will be put to good use in my college journey and I am so appreciative of your support. Thank you for believing in me to make a difference. This award has encouraged me to keep believing in myself. Thank you again for your extremely generous support.”

“My name is Brandy and I had a bit of a rough start to life. I grew up in a very unstable household that left lifelong emotional scars. I realized the best therapy was to build as much independence and self-esteem as possible. One major accomplishment will be to finish my associate's degree. I applied for a scholarship through Dove's Hope and was thrilled to be awarded a scholarship! I will forever be grateful for the help from this foundation in achieving my goal of finishing my degree!”

“Thank you for awarding me the Doves Hope Foundation Scholarship. I’m incredibly grateful for your support; it truly means the world to me and is helping me continue my journey through nursing school. As a mom of three, going back to school hasn’t been easy, but this scholarship is a huge blessing. It’s not just financial help, it’s a reminder that people believe in me and what I’m working toward. I’m doing this for myself to build a better life for my kids and show them what’s possible. Thank you again for all the amazing work you do. I hope to one day give back the way you’ve given to me.”

“I am deeply grateful to the Doves Hope Foundation for this scholarship. I could have never imagined I would be where I am today, and I do not take your support for granted. You have put me one step closer to completing my degree and continuing to build my career. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are giving survivors hope, tools, and resources to rebuild their lives.”

“Winning this scholarship as a survivor of COCSA was important to me, because it showed that people do care and we can start moving forward as a society to protect children from themselves. I hope that more awareness can be done for all sexual assault victims, especially children, and winning this scholarship for me gave me hope and I pray that hope comes to other applicants. There are people who care about you, you just have to find them.”

Thank you, Doves Hope Foundation, for empowering survivors like me to rebuild our lives with dignity and hope.”
