I was ecstatic when I found out I had secured a Co-op scholarship. When I received the call saying that I got in, I was in absolute disbelief. As a student born in Vietnam and from a low socio-economic background, I was incredibly grateful for the opportunity, and it has given me much more confidence in starting university.
