Meet Current Student Keenan Esau ’24
Extraordinary things can happen when great potential catches a “small break” at the right moment. This is true for many students at Nichols College, including Keenan Esau ’24.

Keenan is a junior at Nichols College studying management. He’s a member of the Bison football team and the Emerging Leaders Program and serves as chief of operations for the Nichols Consulting Group, which helps local companies and nonprofit organizations solve challenges, like marketing and business planning.
He chose Nichols College because of its community feel and is able to stay because of our generous donors. “Words don’t do justice to the appreciation I have for the scholarship support I’ve received. Going to college could make the difference between struggling for the rest of my life and being able to have a successful career leading to a legacy of the same for generations to come. This scholarship is helping me create a better future for myself and my loved ones. I will never be able to put a price tag on what donors have done for me, as they have provided me the opportunity to change my life for the better.”
Many of you received scholarships as students and now you can help students just like Keenan continue to excel by making a gift to Nichols College today. Our 1,200+ students need your help as we prepare for another inspiring academic year. Whether you give towards scholarships, athletics, or whatever fund is most meaningful to you, your gift will support our students of all backgrounds achieve their dream of receiving an exceptional education.
We hope hearing about our students will inspire you to send a gift before June 30. When students have to withdraw because of money worries, it’s literally a life-changing decision. Be the one that changes the trajectory of their lives. I hope we can count on your support with a gift today.
