Gavin Grandison

“I just want to say thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to finish my studies at college and the scholarship has impacted my life in a tremendous way.“

Gavin Grandison is a remarkable young man who worked part time jobs to support his educational goals, as well as his mom.   He completed his studies at Montclair State University majoring in Biology.  Gavin lost his dad to cancer when he was 19, and the loss of his dad had such an impact on who he is today. He was shocked at how loss can affect a person’s entire life. He began to think and act differently. He learned that it was okay to cry, to be sad, and that grief is a really important step and should not be skipped or rushed.  He says, “At the end of my life, I want to be able to say that I made a difference in people’s lives.”  He sounds like a young Dave Evans. 

Gavin has taken his degree to Church & Dwight where he works in Product Development.
