The winners were extremely excited to be the 2023 recipients of the Leap Live & Learn Scholarship. One of the scholarship recipients, a graduate student at Texas A&M, shared her reflections on the scholarship process, “The process gave me a chance to reflect on my past, what I went through, and how all of those experiences and hardships shaped who I am today and who I desire to be in the future.” Another recipient, a graduate student at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, said, “The fact that people like you believe in my potential and are prepared to invest in my education means the world to me.”
Leap’s Student Housing Advisory Board, which is composed of senior executives from several of the largest student housing operators in the country, chose the winning essays. “We congratulate each of the winners for their outstanding efforts and dedication to their academic goals,” said Rory O’Connell, CEO of Leap. “We are proud to support these students in their pursuit of higher education and wish them continued success in their academic journey.”
