Austin knew he wanted to receive an excellent education, rooted in faith and community, but there were roadblocks. One of three siblings currently in college, Austin knew the cost would be challenging for his family.
Andrea Layton, the first of the Layton family to be accepted as a Questa Scholar, made sure to tell her three younger siblings, Ariana, Brayden, and Austin, about the opportunity. All have since been accepted into the Questa Scholars Program.
Now that Austin and his family have the financial support they need to attend college, his dream of becoming a pediatric surgeon is possible.
“I want to personally thank you for your support and generosity. Your meaningful contribution to support my education has ensured I am able to continue my education at Taylor University, a second home and community I have come to love so much,” says Austin.
Though the road to pursuing his dreams of a medical career may be long, Austin is confident knowing he will graduate with less debt.
