Alicia - Central Piedmont Community College
Alicia is a Medical Laboratory Technology student at Central Piedmont who works full-time while finishing her education. While pursuing her career and a stable future, she encountered a bout of bad luck—Covid-19, bacterial bronchitis, and the loss of her vehicle due to Hurricane Helene—all of which caused financial strain. It wasn’t all bad, though. She also got married in an intimate courthouse wedding!
What has the #MetallicaScholars funding meant to her?
“Now that my husband and I are financially recovering from the past year, this scholarship will help take a load off our shoulders. I am very fortunate to have been able to receive scholarships to help fund my educational goals. Now, I can focus on studying for my upcoming certification exam. After that, my husband and I can save and plan our wedding we could not get in 2024. We plan to host it November 2026!”
Congratulations, Alicia! We’re honored to support you as you build this next chapter of your life.
