Not only was I happy because I could actually afford to come to Iowa State University, but getting picked to be the next scholar out of many applicants made me feel pretty good. I knew that I had opportunity that not many people got and I am very thankful. I am so proud to call myself a 2011 Hixson Scholar.

Hixson Award
I am so grateful the for the Hixson award. This scholarship was a huge factor in whether or not I would have to attend a community college or not. When I got the news that I was the new Des Moines County Hixson I was so happy because I knew my costs at Iowa State would not be so difficult. I really need the financial aid because I was relying only on my own savings Also, due to a chosen major in education, I cannot afford to be in debt because of the low salary. Receiving the Hixson award was such a huge financial burden lifted.

I can imagine how you must have felt knowing that you only had your savings to pay for college. I bet it was a big relief to you knowing that you would have half of your tuition paid for four years.
