OLLI Scholarship Recipient Testimonials

"The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute gives me the opportunity to take classes that I have always been interested in, but never had a chance to take before - either they were never offered when I was earning my college degree or, now, because of financial restraints, they are out of reach for me." -Anonymous  "I realize now how much there is to learn in this world and also how little I actually know! An OLLI scholarship would enable me to attend many classes that I would otherwise be unable to afford." -Anonymous
