Memorable Quote: “So without the Gates Scholarship, I wouldn't have not been able to go to Columbia despite getting in, despite getting a likely letter, despite being you know, inducted as a Kluge Scholar, which is a prestigious, you know, award for incoming freshmen that lasts throughout their senior year.” Grace Fox.
