“The Esther’s Lift Emergency Fund has alleviated some of my financial stress around housing. I can enjoy winter break more knowing I have a place to stay.”
This emergency support provided immediate housing stability during a critical moment, allowing this student to rest, reset, and prepare for the next academic term without fear or uncertainty.

“Receiving the For Such a Time as This Scholarship will have a profound impact on this season of my academic journey. Coming from a low-income family, meeting basic expenses like housing has often required difficult sacrifices and constant financial strain. This support will ease that pressure and allow me to move forward with greater stability and focus.
Because of this scholarship, I will be able to invest more time and energy into my education, my leadership roles on campus, and being fully present in campus life. This support allows me to show up not only as a student working to get by, but as a leader who can engage, serve, and contribute more fully to my campus community.
This scholarship arrived at a critical moment and reminded me that my hard work and perseverance are seen and supported. I am deeply grateful to the Esther Funds Foundation for providing timely assistance that will make a lasting difference in my academic experience.”
