Scholarship Support Fuels Prapti’s Engineering Dreams at CT State Gateway

For Prapti Hosur, an engineering science major, every achievement represents not just her hard work, but the faith others have placed in her. “The Geballe Family Scholarship underwrote Prapti’s tuition for a full academic year.

“This means more than financial help,” she shared. “It means someone believes in me, in my dreams and potential. That belief gives me strength to keep going, even when things are difficult.”

Thanks to this generous scholarship, Prapti can focus on what truly matters, which is learning and preparing to make an impact through engineering. “I am deeply grateful,” she says. “Because of this scholarship, I can move forward with confidence and hope.”

The generosity of donors like the Geballe family extends far beyond one student. It sparks ambition, opens doors, and transforms lives, and is a testament to the potential and promise of the next generation.

UPDATE:
When Prapti Hosur arrived at CT State Gateway to study Engineering Science, she brought with her the determination to succeed. Thanks to the support of the Geballe Family Scholarship, she was able to focus on what mattered most: her education.

The scholarship covered Prapti’s tuition for an entire academic year, easing a significant financial burden and allowing her to devote more time and energy to her academic goals.

“This means more than financial help,” Prapti shared. “It means someone believes in me, in my dreams and potential. That belief gives me strength to keep going, even when things are difficult.”

That support helped Prapti thrive. She graduated from Gateway with a GPA above 3.6 and is continuing her educational journey at the University of Connecticut, where she will pursue her passion for engineering.

“I am deeply grateful,” she said. “Because of this scholarship, I can move forward with confidence and hope.”

Prapti’s journey is a reminder that the impact of a scholarship is never confined to a single semester or even a single campus. It continues in every classroom she enters, every challenge she overcomes, and every opportunity she pursues. Today, a Gateway graduate is continuing her engineering education at UConn because someone chose to invest in her potential.
