Erin Nicole Finn: Carroll Student Credits Foundation Scholarship for Success

Erin Nicole Finn, 19, is a criminal justice student at Carroll Community College. She received a scholarship from the Carroll Community College Foundation which made it possible for her to attend college. She credits the Foundation and its donors for all of the success she has achieved as a result.

“The scholarship I received has been incredibly helpful to defray the costs of going to college, including the cost of books,” said Finn. “I am truly unable to put into words how incredibly grateful I am for donors’ contributions. Thanks to Foundation donors, it is possible for students like me to obtain a quality higher education in pursuit of my dreams. Although I am still searching for what particular path to take in life, I have narrowed my interests within the fields of Criminal Justice and Public Policy. I hope to positively contribute to the future of law enforcement.”
