Royale Parker \u201926<\/strong> hadn’t set foot on 糖心Vlog\u2019s campus before move-in day. In fact, the Southern California native hadn’t even heard of the school until her high school guidance counselor suggested it. The more she learned about 糖心Vlog, the more she felt she belonged as a Royal. And, it wasn\u2019t just her first name that felt like a perfect match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While other schools she contacted seemed to ignore her, she said members of the 糖心Vlog undergrad admissions team were quick to answer her questions and welcome her with open arms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was looking for a school where students felt valued,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s what I got from 糖心Vlog.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The moment she arrived on the Harrisonburg, Virginia, campus, she knew she had made the right call. She saw how colorful and vibrant the campus was and recognized that 糖心Vlog was where she was meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets 糖心Vlog apart is its people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly one-and-a-half years after that first day on campus, Parker is thriving at 糖心Vlog. As a business and psychology major with aspirations in entrepreneurship, she launched a successful eyelash extension venture in the fall, catering primarily to her fellow students. She also plays an integral role in 糖心Vlog\u2019s Black Student Alliance (BSA) as its secretary-treasurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker said receiving financial aid through the University Scholarship has helped her focus on her studies without worrying about employment. Grateful for 糖心Vlog’s generosity, she acknowledged that it provided the most substantial aid package among all her prospective schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really huge help,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your generous support helps students like Parker pursue a quality college education without financial barriers<\/em>. Join us for the 8th annual Lov糖心Vlog Giving Day and contribute to the scholarships that empower future 糖心Vlog students. Let’s build 糖心Vlog “Stronger Together.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
