Ricardo Nunez, Timothy Conley Baldwin Leadership Scholarship - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

"I am very fortunate to have received a scholarship from the Community Foundation for SBC. By lessening the financial burden of higher education, the scholarship made the transition into college much more manageable, allowing me to focus on my studies and build meaningful relationships. Supporting organizations that give back to the community, especially to those who are less fortunate, is something that doesn’t go overlooked and can truly change lives. The support I received allowed me to graduate from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with honors, Cum Laude, and debt-free. I am now pursuing a career in accounting, specifically in audit. I hope to one day impact someone’s life as much as the Community Foundation for SBC has impacted mine." — Ricardo Nunez
