"I am deeply grateful to Converse University for fostering my love and passion for the Deaf community and American Sign Language. What I cherish most about Converse is how closely its values mirror those of the Deaf community: both are supportive, close-knit, and dedicated to the success of their members. Converse has profoundly shaped my life, and I am eager to give back to the community that has given me so much. Thank you, Converse!"

WE WILL support your success

"I am incredibly grateful for scholarship support. Without it, it would not be possible for me to attend Converse University. My parents are immigrants from Sudan, and having witnessed war, death, and destruction their whole lives, the importance of a quality education was imparted in me from a young age. I feel an obligation to make them proud, and to show how much scholarship support means to me and to them. This is an opportunity I will not take for granted."
