"The Neal and Sherrie Savage Family Foundation feels honored to be a part of the Hope Scholars Program. University life can be overwhelming and challenging with the best of circumstances. However to add outside influences that make you feel like you don't belong or fit in, can seem unbearable and beat you down. The Hope Scholars Program counters outside negative forces and gives individuals hope for their future. This is essential because everyone needs hope and words of encouragement to uplift and help make dreams come true.
