I hope to pursue a career within housing finance and development, and the John & Annie Glenn Scholarship made this possible by easing my financial worries when applying for internships and other relevant educational opportunities. The scholarship has also enabled me to network faculty and administrators within the Glenn college, opening up new opportunities for me to pursue during my time at Ohio State.
