Osborne earned NSLS National Engaged Leader Award for attending chapter events and meetings, completing interactive Leadership Training Day and community service requirements. In addition, Osborne earned the Dream Support Grant that recognizes students who “work toward personal goals through hard work, unyielding determination, and unbreakable courage that must defy all odds. The purpose of this grant is to support individuals in achieving their dream” according to NSLS.
