'Manage Your Time, Manage It Well'

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 institutions share ACT’s commitment to helping all learners achieve their college and career goals. Each ACT Scholar’s story reflects resilience, passion, and a vision for the future.

For ACT Scholar Konstantin Titarenko, college is both a family legacy and a personal opportunity. Inspired by his parents’ determination to earn their degrees after immigrating to the United States, Konstantin is pursuing his education at Kirkwood Community College while balancing work, classes, and leadership as co-chair of the school’s sustainability club.

With help from the ACT scholarship, he’s able to focus more on studying and building connections while worrying less about his finances.

Hear Konstantin’s advice for fellow students, the role his family’s example has played in his journey, and what the ACT scholarship has meant to him in the video.
