Name: Carlos Morales

Age: 19

Originally from: San Jose, Costa Rica

A fun, charismatic and very sociable person. That is the way I can describe Carlos. This Costarrican guy was very homesick the first months he lived in the United States. He is now an internationa student at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas because he was awarded with the Walton Scholarship.

"I found out about the Walton Scholarship when I was in high school. The principal used to announce each year the requirements to apply for the scholarship."


"Before getting it, I was finishing my high school while attempting to get a job in a coffee shop."


"To major in Management Information Systems at Harding University has been a great blessing. After graduation, I plan to work in a place where I can start shaping the future of my own business company."


"I think my purpose in life is to help other people, including my family. I want to help people in their material needs, while I give them my heart and my soul."


"The Walton Scholarship is indeed a huge blessing. I plan to pay back such gift to the society by working hard to provide my services and knowledge gained at Harding to an organization. I also want to economically help people in need as much as I can."
