"Brighten Your Future has helped me tackle college for the return of a better lifestyle. I am very thankful to BYF for providing me with motivation to participate in volunteer work and helping me transition into an adult. It is not easy paying for college, but now my biggest goals have been accomplished thanks to BYF." - Whitney Mitchell, Logan High School Class of 2010

My BYF grant was unexpectedly awarded in 1990 during the spring quarter of my freshman year at Ohio State: a time when I was working two jobs, a tuition bill was looming and I had insufficient funds. The grant’s perfect timing was an amazing blessing and gift. Beyond the monetary grant was a clear and powerful unspoken message from the Board of Trustees, “We believe in you. We support you. Go out and do great things.” The results of that unexpected gift and the mighty message it sent have been lasting. - Gwen Barry Blumberg, Logan High School Class of 1989
