The Importance of Scholarships

As a sales leader in the asset management industry, Donald Sanya has been focusing on distributing investment solutions to institutional investors for over a decade. As an international student who received a generous scholarship, Donald Sanya attended Gordon College and his scholarship allowed him to fully apply himself to his studies rather than work hard to cover his college expenses. International students deal with unique challenges when paving their road to success in academia and beyond. Making scholarships more broadly available to international students ensures that these students invest most of their time and energy into their education. As a result of these scholarships, international students can have the opportunity of achieving higher levels of academic achievement and are placed in a better position to find a well-paying job after college. By eliminating the financial burden, scholarships ensure international students can get the most out of their studies and consolidate the knowledge they gain in their post-graduate careers. Increasing the availability of scholarship opportunities is a great way of broadening the capacity for the academic and professional success of international students. These scholarships are made possible through non-profit organizations that recognize the strong potential from international students and helping pave their way to attend US Universities and Colleges. This greatly benefits the students by enabling them to work harder in school, while at the same time granting these non-profit organizations with tax exemptions.
