Kylie refuses to be defined by the extreme instability she’s facing in her life. With the rock-solid support of her grandparents and 4-H community, she’s excelling academically, maintaining a positive outlook, and serving as a powerful role model for her younger brother. As a junior, she’s taking all AP classes while serving on student council, being president of her local 4-H llama club, acting as captain of her volleyball team, and so much more! Working with kids is Kylie’s passion — and she plans to study elementary education in college.

Kylie, you’re awesome! May this scholarship help support all that you dream of and more.
