“Being a recipient of the MacKillop Scholarship has given me the great opportunity to pursue my studies with less financial stress. The scholarship helped me to accelerate my degree progression, starting from my summer Study Abroad experience and now being able to pick up a minor.

Receiving the MacKillop scholarship has also inspired me to be more ambitious in my art studies. I desire to become more involved with the College of CoA+A and the local arts community.”

Maya Hutagalung, B.F.A. in Art with a concentration in Illustration and a minor in Earth and Environmental Sciences
