“If you don’t think you can go to Harvard, you can. College Bound AZ helped me with making sure all my application requirements were submitted and they helped with a travel scholarship for one of my parents to visit the campus with me. I hope that my story encourages current and future students to take advantage of the same opportunity!”
In her first year at Harvard, Kylie received the Emerging Global Leader Award.
