Hey, my name is Rostin Forbes, a first year business student at the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada. College life has been a major jump from that of high school; I’ve met people from all around the world, like Jamaica, Hong Kong, Belize and many other places. As a university, your typical class could range from 50 to over 150 students in one sitting and the campus itself can become a maze. The most major shift for me, may be the weather. At any given moment it can drop into the single digits, despite it only being October. The Pssp award is not only a scholarship, but it represents a gateway to opportunities that I never had imagined. A year prior to now if someone had told me I would be ‘all the way’ In Canada for college, I’d thought it was just positive thinking. For any upcoming graduates, I encourage you to apply to PSSP. Whether it be for your country, family, or even personal conditions, you can achieve and improve so much through this program.
My name is Keiajnae Lewis. I am a 2018 PSSP Award Recipient and I am now enrolled in Florida Memorial University. So far my college experience has been remarkable. Although I’m not far from home, I have encountered many different cultures, and new people from various backgrounds. My major is Aeronautical Science, and so far my classes are going great. The professors I have encountered are extremely helpful. Thanks to the PSSP Award along with the Blue Scholarship from Florida Memorial, my tuition, room, and board are paid in full. I am excited to continue this journey and see what lies ahead.
My name is Sarah Bethell and I am currently attending the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada. My college experience so far has taught me how to put my priorities in order. Since being in Canada, I have met individuals from different countries and background and I hope to meet many more. My classes are pretty good, and my teachers have been nothing but nice to me. In other words so far so good!!!
The foundation has sent over 30 first in their family to go to college this year!
