"I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend college without going in debt. I received the Olen Marshall Scholarship from the Walters State Foundation and the Tennessee Hope Lottery Scholarship. Even without the scholarships, I would have attended Walters State. I love the small classes and I know I’ll get a good job in my field when I graduate."
