BACKSTORY ABOUT ME

I transferred from Montgomery college which is a community college in Montgomery county Maryland to UMGC to pursue my bachelor’s degree in computer networks and cyber security because I was interested in majoring in both but Montgomery college did not give me the options that I wanted. I am currently an active duty member of the United States army. I am planning on graduating next year and the scholarship will help me achieve that because even though I am in the army it will not cover my whole tuition for me to be able to take the required classes that I need to graduate next year.
