"My name is Naomi Harrell and I will be attending the University of Florida. My major is Animal Sciences with a specialization in Animal Biology, and I have hopes of becoming a Mixed-Practice Veterinarian.

I am so grateful to have received this scholarship awarded to me, this scholarship means that I have a foundation that supports me and for me to be chosen makes me feel seen.

This scholarship will benefit me greatly by allowing me to overcome additional financial obstacles that arise from going to school outside of my hometown and branching out of my comfort zone. This scholarship is greatly appreciated!"
