In 2016, Taco Bell and the Taco Bell Foundation launched the [Live Más Scholarship](http://bit.ly/2aMs07u), a program aimed at empowering the nation’s next generation of dreamers, innovators and creators – those whose passions don’t fall into the conventional “academic” or “athletic” qualifying categories of traditional scholarship programs.

After awarding scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $25,000 to 220 youth. Taco Bell wanted to hear from the winners themselves to see what they thought about winning a Live Más Scholarship!

“Hope…it gave me hope that my dreams are possible.” – Justin Susan. Justin is a writer from Peoria, Arizona. He has already written an 80,000 word novel about a young man who lives in a world where choices are rare, but chooses to find the answers. Justin hopes to publish his book in the near future and will be attending Northern Arizona University to study creative film and media where he will put his writing skills to the test.
