That shift changed everything. As Graceyn found her people, she found her confidence. CSU became a place where she could take risks, raise her hand, and try things she once thought were out of reach. Today, she’s pursuing a double major in Communications and Theatre—fields rooted in collaboration, connection, and human stories. The work feels natural because it mirrors the environment she’s grown within: people working together, learning from one another, and building something shared.

Scholarships have been central to that journey. With donor support, Graceyn isn’t navigating college alone. Financial support has given her the freedom to focus on learning, to engage deeply, and to pursue what she loves without hesitation. It has transformed opportunity into momentum.

Graceyn’s story is about more than finding a major or a career path. It’s about belonging—and what becomes possible when students are supported by a community that believes in them. Because of donors, she has the confidence to take leaps, the space to grow, and the support to become the communicator and collaborator she aspires to be.
