Anna Ropalo, $10,000 Epstein Scholarship winner who emigrated to North America from Russia with her family, noted in her application essay: “I will be exposed to a world my parents never had the chance to know. I will be able to prove to myself that it is possible to break out of the mold society has placed you in and take the world by storm. My wish is to make a difference, even a small but significant one. This is why I wish to pursue a college education."
Cascade Chapter-NAHRO wishes Anna Ropalo and all the scholarship winners the very best as they prepare for their college experience.
