Recipient - Phoenix, Arizona
Floyd has been paying for his education for seven years, with no degree to show for it. Floyd was raised by a single mother and as a teenager he took on the role of man of the house. He remained focused, stayed out of trouble, and always assisted his mother with the household responsibilities. He put a lot of pressure on himself to be a positive role model for his siblings and in doing so both have graduated high school. To continue his education and set a good example, Floyd enrolled in the local community college. He paid for one credit at a time, always out of pocket, with no help from student loans. He has been persistent, attending school for seven years. He supports his family so paying for a full-time education is impossible. Constance wants to pay forward her education to Floyd because he is a good person. He never gives up and selflessly cares for his family.
