Testimonials

Anna Deogratias - Arizona State University - Class of 2020 - Over $68,000 in scholarships!
"Be A Leader has helped me have more confidence in myself. I used to be the type of person who was too shy to speak up and ask questions but going to the Be A Leader sessions changed that! They have given me many different resources and I am especially grateful for all the scholarships they helped me apply to. Be A Leader has helped me learn how to seek help and take advantage of opportunities that come my way!"
