Change the World
Brendon Holloway, MSW Candidate, 2017
I Want to Change the World by Advocating for Trans Youth and Trans Health
I want one day to found an organization for trans youth. Today, more young trans people are coming out. Many become homeless or end up in foster care. Educating people is critical.
Why I'm Here
I researched MSW programs. I chose the U-M School of Social Work because the community organization program is one of the most advanced in the country and I knew it would be the best fit for me.
Impact of the Scholarship
I didn't think I'd be able to go to grad school until U-M offered me the scholarships. I was a first-generation college student, and I am a first generation grad student. Now I feel energized to get my PhD. I always wanted to teach and do research with a focus on trans health.
