"I was humbled to be granted the merit award which allowed me to accept my offer to GWU to pursue my master’s degree in Cybersecurity Strategy & Information Management. This merit award impacted my admission because this award gave me the financial support I needed to enhance my academic pursuits in higher education. I do not think I could ever have had the option to go to GWU had I not received this. It means everything to me and I'm exceptionally eager to proceed with my new professional and educational growth with all of the resources I have access to." Michael Ojo Abiona, CPS ’22
