Victoria was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 15 years old. Throughout her cancer journey, Victoria’s motivation and commitment to her education did not waver. Last December, Victoria graduated from the University of Nevada with a Bachelor of Science dual degree in Human Development & Family Science and Biology with a minor in Developmental Disabilities. Her dedication to working with individuals with disabilities stems from her own long-term side effects from treatment. Victoria remarked that her scholarship helped her succeed both in education and in life, stating “As a kid with cancer, I never would have imagined I would be living in my own apartment with two degrees. NNCCF helped with my tuition throughout my educational journey and gave me the confidence to pursue my many educational goals”.
