ACT established the ACT Scholars program to nurture the academic talent of graduate and community college students at the University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College, respectively. These two institutions share ACT's passion for helping all students achieve their college and career ambitions.
ACT has invited these scholars to share their stories to commemorate their journeys from application to graduation.

For Jennifer Bui, college represents more than just a new chapter; it's a chance to grow, connect, and confidently pursue her goals. A student at Kirkwood Community College, Jennifer is grateful for the support of her parents, teachers, and the welcoming Kirkwood community. She's learning to navigate change, build independence, and make the most of her college experience — both in and out of the classroom.
