Meet Maria Cobbs, this year’s Second Chance Scholarship Foundation recipient! Maria’s story is a testament to resilience, grit, and the power of never giving up.
Despite financial challenges limiting her aid options, Maria refused to let anything stand in her way. She’s balancing life as a medical assistant, maintaining a 3.96 GPA, and pushing forward to transfer to UF in Fall 2025. 💪📚
But here’s what’s even more inspiring—Maria doesn’t just take second chances, she gives them. Working in the medical field, she sees firsthand the power of perseverance in her patients. And when it came time to give back, she drove from Gainesville to support our poker tournament, helping us raise funds for future scholarship recipients. Talk about paying it forward! 🔥♠️
Maria, we’re proud of you. Keep proving that second chances aren’t just given—they’re earned. 👏
