The scholarship was announced by University of Utah President Taylor Randall over the summer and its goal is to alleviate financial hardship for a student population that tends to struggle to earn a college degree.
“As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I struggled," Eldridge said. “I struggled to make ends meet and it took me longer to complete college.”"For our students, this will really provide them [with the] opportunity to focus and engage in their studies," Eldridge explained,"So that they’ll be able to return to their communities sooner to make a positive impact.
A study conducted by the National Native Scholarship Program revealed 72 percent of participants ran out of money at least once during the last six months and 67 percent reported being expected to contribute to family bills.
