“I was one of the class of 1999 recipients of the Wade McCree Scholarship. The scholarship paid for my four year, Bachelor of Science Degree at Oakland University. Thanks to this program I received an excellent education, made good lifelong friends and still receive support from the mentors from this program. Currently I’m a second year student in the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University. I will always be grateful for this program because I believe it has alot to do with the success I have attained thus far. Thank you.”

“If I had to start school all over again I would get my grades up and make it to all my classes. A piece of advice for other students would be to make sure you have a great attitude at all times.”

"One thing my mentor helped with was to help restore a good relationship with my mother. Before I had alot on my mind and wasn't able to focus much. So Marie said that I should write my thoughts and everything else down into my journal which she provided for me. I loved being her mentee, it was wonderful. I hope when the program is over, we can still stay in touch."
