“I get to invest in the lives of our students in such a way that it probably changes the path of their family for generations. I’ve had students who never even thought about going to college receive a $50,000 scholarship through our Hot Rodders program. I get to be a part of the hard work they put into their education… I get to see their lives changed forever when they pursue fulfilling careers that happen to pay very well.”
