Student Spotlight

Class of 2026Scholarships are so important to me that 'thank you' can hardly express the amount of gratitude I have for the generous opportunities GU has given me. Entering my 4th year here at Gonzaga, I am consistently reminded of every blessing that Gonzaga has brought into my life in the forms of lifelong friends, a great education and so much growth outside the classroom. None of this would be possible without the generosity of donors.

Class of 2028I’m a first-generation college student from Montana. Gonzaga has always been my dream school for as long as I can remember. When I first visited campus, I immediately knew it was the place I wanted to be. The community was so amazing, and everyone was so helpful. I’m so thankful for scholarships because without them, I wouldn’t be here. They've helped make something I thought was impossible happen.

Class of 2026It was always kind of a running joke in my family that I’d end up at Gonzaga since both of my parents went here. And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. But looking back, the more meaningful question isn’t why I came. It’s why I chose to stay. Starting out was tough. Leaving home for the first time and figuring things out on my own wasn’t easy. But as time went on, I found my people. Friends who made me feel at home and a community that welcomed me in. That made all the difference, and it’s why I came back for my sophomore year. Now I honestly can’t picture myself anywhere else. Scholarships have been a huge part of making this experience possible. I’m incredibly thankful for the support. They’ve helped me stay here and grow in ways I never imagined. Without them, being at Gonzaga would be a lot harder, and I know my life wouldn’t be the same. I’m happier here, and I’m grateful every day for the chance to be part of this place.
