"Being chosen for this scholarship not only made my world-class education possible by removing the financial barrier, but it also gave me a huge confidence boost which encouraged me to make the most of my college career. Without HAMP, I would not have placed such a high level of importance on my academic growth and achievement, and .... I would not have had the time to pursue other passions and experiences, like playing in the All-University String Orchestra, serving on the board of a local nonprofit, joining intramural sports teams, and even devoting time to cultivate meaningful social relationships, as I would have had to devote more of my time to jobs. I am so incredibly grateful and honored to have been a scholar, and I cannot overstate the impact the HAMP Foundation has had on my life." (HAMP Scholar, Graduated from UW-Madison, 2024)
