Michelle Lung, an SKA Alumni, recently started attending SCAD with the help of SKA.

Michelle Lung thanked SKA by saying, “I just wanted to thank you so much for helping me

get into my dream school. SCAD is just as amazing as the first time I ever went to tour it

with you. You've changed my life and not only helped me shoot for bigger dreams, but you

also helped me achieve them. I owe you one for sure. “
