BRITTANY WALTER '18
Through my time in the service, I have espoused the ideas of hard work, determination, multi-tasking, and adaptability, which I think served me well in law school. USF’s financial aid office did an excellent job coordinating my financial aid with the VA and making what could be a very complicated process, very simple.”
