“My university education allowed me to travel the world as a storyteller and TV news reporter. After I graduated I got a great job as a journalist, but was burdened and stressed by trying to afford student loan payments. Thanks to Miss North Carolina scholarships, I’ve paid off my student loans and can focus on excelling in my work and giving back to my community.”

“The Miss North Carolina Organization offered relief beyond belief through their scholarship program, which allowed me to pay off my student loans.”
