“The Neighborhood Grant Program changed my life and my husband’s life. It allowed us to go back to school as adults with kids. If it weren’t for this program, finishing our degrees would not have been feasible for us. We were able to change careers, be good role models for our children, and completely change our lifestyles because this grant gave us the opportunity to improve ourselves, our family, and our lives. We are forever grateful to Piedmont University for offering this program.”
