Student testimonies:

For me, receiving a scholarship has been a very humbling and fortunate experience. I'm happy

I have been able to help my parents with whatever amount in order to help pay for my

education. I was also able to prove to myself that I do have the confidence to set myself apart

as a worthy student. Ultimately, it has shown me that hard work and perseverance are all

worth it in the end. I am grateful for this scholarship, because it has reinforced my drive and

motivation to just keep working harder to achieve my bigger plans in life.

Ingrid de Oca | Freshman Foods & Nutrition major

This year was the first year of my college career. I had to worry about moving over 2,000

miles away from home, the new and rigorous collegiate curriculum, and being an

independent student living on my own. The one thing I did not want to have to worry about

was financing my college education and the College of Ag scholarships helped take this

burden off my shoulders.

I received the Allen C. Christensen Scholarship. When I discovered that I had been

awarded this scholarship I was overjoyed. It was a major relief to know that some of the

burden of paying for college was taken off my hands. Since receiving this scholarship I have

been way more appreciative of the opportunity I have of going to this amazing institution. I

know that someone out there believes in me enough to succeed that they’re actually paying

for me to go out and get my degree. While seemingly a lot of pressure to be under, it is

actually very encouraging and pushes me to work hard in everything I do.

Being an animal science major here at Cal Poly Pomona, I get to work hands on with

real live animals and not be stuck in a classroom reading from a textbook. I get to witness a

foal being born, diagnose sick animals, and take care of a wide range of creatures including

sheep, cows, pigs, and horses. All these opportunities are available because of the help of the

Allen C. Christensen Scholarship. I definitely would not be here without the help of the College

of Ag scholarships.

These scholarships are an incredible blessing to all who receive them. They allow all students

the opportunity to achieve their dreams and follow their passions in order to make a

difference in the world. I know without these scholarships, I would not be where I am today.
