When Genoveva D. tells people she wants to study theatre, she usually gets an empathetic smile and a few words of encouragement on such a tough business. However, Genoveva is not dettered and continues to be inspired and motivated by all forms of art on a daily basis. She believes in the positive effect that acting and art have on society. Genoveva wants to use that effect to spread awareness on issues that are often hard to talk about so they don\u2019t get swept under the rug. <\/span><\/p>\n

Genoveva did not want to be buried under student loans. She decided to apply to scholarships using <\/span>ScholarshipOwl<\/span><\/a>. After that, she received a $500 towards her education.
