Changing her life one degree at a time: Christina Lewis is turning scholarships into opportunities
The Foundation’s scholarship programs are an integral part of our educational success initiative. Thanks to the generosity of many Rhode Islanders, the Foundation is able to offer financial support to determined students of all ages.
Christina Lewis, a recent Rhode Island Foundation scholarship recipient, is one such student. Paired with her unmatched work ethic and determination, the scholarships Christina earned through the Foundation allowed her to achieve her master’s degree in nursing last year. Today, she is working towards her doctorate. It’s quite a story, and you can read more about it here: https://rifoundation.org/stories/changing-her-life-one-degree-at-a-time.
I encourage you to consider the people in your life that may benefit from a scholarship, as Christina did, and please share the Foundation’s various programs with them. It is often a lack of awareness, not interest, that prevents people from taking advantage of resources that could transform their lives.

3 年Being part of a small scholarship program in Warwick, we get that same level of gratification, as we provide a small stipend to several Warwick Students every year...with the support of RI Foundation, the founders of our scholarship program have provided Warwick students with over $135,000 since its founding...what started out as a simple gesture of giving back, has maintained its presence still helping Warwick students succeed...thank you RI Foundation for your continued stewardship and guidance in the management of this wonderful gesture. We couldn't do it without you!! Thank you!
