The generosity of Saint Louis University donors is helping law student Faith Whatley-Blaine graduate with less student debt, allowing her to prioritize her goal of helping others instead of choosing a concentration based solely on income.Faith says: "I was someone who knew I wanted to go to law school when I was younger. It's always been a dream of mine. I love the courtroom. And this dream would not be possible without the donors. Like, there's no question in my mind about it that without scholarships, I would not be able to even think of having this education. And it is due to the donors and their generosity that has allowed me to pursue not only my dreams, but my passion.I want to do a life of public service. I'm currently a summer clerk at the MacArthur Justice Center, and there we do a lot of post-conviction civil rights. So making sure that there are humane conditions in our prisons and jails. And that aligns with me wanting to give a voice to people who don't have it otherwise and wanting to represent people who cannot afford that otherwise.It's truly taught me that there can be a light in the world and I can be that light for other people and create that tangible change. And I want to use my legal education and be able to advocate to show others that there can be a difference. And they can also make that difference.I'm a firm believer that education is one of the best investments that you can make, but many people don't have that capital to make that initial investment and it keeps remaining a dream."However, scholarships help bridge that gap and give people the opportunity to invest in their education and imagine a better life for themselves and be able to give back to the community with that education and resources that they have.*********** About SLU: Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Catholic research institutions.

Thanks to the generosity of Saint Louis University donors, School of Medicine student Caroline Kaczmarek can continue her volunteer efforts without worrying about balancing academics with a part-time job.Caroline says: "I feel the impact of your donation on a daily basis. I feel when I walk into class that I have someone behind me, that I know there is someone who cared deeply enough about medical education and just education for people who have worked so hard to get here, and it has helped me be a happier person in medical school. It's helped me to be a healthier person in medical school, and it's helped me to really focus on the things that matter in my education.My biggest concern about the cost of medical school is that I would simply never pay it off. Physicians have well-paying careers, all things considered. And yet, with rising costs across the whole country, I was simply worried that no matter how high of a position I would have or how fulfilling it is, that I may get into a cycle, that I never pay off debt.I have received the Magis Scholarship here at SLU, which is a scholarship specifically for those who have completed a lot of service in their time. In particular, I'm very happy that I did service before and during my medical school experience. It's been a huge help. It's decreased my costs, the cost of attendance quite significantly, and it's taken a huge weight off my shoulders.Another great thing about SLU is how much they've encouraged all of us to go into service. And I, in particular, do domestic violence work. I just find it very impactful to do, to actually meet people and moments where they are the most vulnerable. And I can be that support. And I've found it amazing to be able to do that work while I'm in school."**************About SLU: Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Catholic research institutions.
