Willow, Four-Time Scholarship Winner, Wants YOU to Apply
As a repeat recipient, you could say our very own Willow H. serves as a poster child for Taco Bell Foundation’s Live Más Scholarship. She’s now won four years in a row, receiving nearly $60,000 to date in educational support! Most recently, Willow was awarded the top-dollar amount, a $25,000 scholarship.
Currently back with us for the summer at our Sicklerville, NJ Taco Bell and preparing for her senior year at Virginia State University, Willow confirms that Live Más has been nothing short of life changing.
“It can open doors you never imagined.” -Willow Hunter, Team Member
“My parents don’t have the financial means to support my college education,” she shares. “The Live Más Scholarship is the reason I’m able to stay in school and pursue my degree.”
She says it’s been a catalyst for her journey into filmmaking, which she says isn’t just her passion, it’s her purpose. “It’s how I connect with people, share stories and envision a better future.”
Willow is a mass communications major who’s kept plenty busy on her college campus: vice president of the Mass Communications Club, filming basketball and football games, and interning at a local TV station. Five years from now, she can already see herself in a role that matches her passions with her degree. That’s what Live Más makes possible!
“It empowered me to dream bigger, take bolder steps, and turn my passion into action.” – Willow H., Team Member
