“The Clough Fellows program directly impacted my life in providing me the education needed to pursue my dreams. Without this support, I would not have had funds to attend college. I am still using the degree I received and am excelling in my Veterinary Technician career. I love my job! It is a career that doesn’t pay well and I would not be able to continue in it, had I been stuck with student loans.”

“My family struggled financially, and my undergraduate education was made possible through scholarships like the Clough Fellows. I attended 4 years at Oklahoma Baptist University where I had a very successful cross country & track career and studied computer science with an emphasis in physics. I now have a career I love as a senior software engineer (specifically in Database engineering) at a company I value. I would not be where I am today if not for the help of donors like the Clough family. My life has been defined by the education I earned earlier. Thank you, thank you!!”
