When the Trump administration banned transgender people from entering the military earlier this year, University of Texas sophomore Map Pesqueira had his ROTC scholarship revoked.

Pasqueira, who identifies as a transgender man, thought he would have to leave school.

But his story got picked up by The Daily Texan, then quickly caught fire with national media outlets. On June 27, he appeared on "Good Morning America" where he met Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, who surprised him with a $25,000 scholarship on the show.

“It was the chance of a lifetime,” Pesqueira said to The Daily Texan. “I had never, ever, ever, ever thought that I would meet somebody who has done so much for the trans community and has a platform like that. She has a heart of gold, and she’s so caring and so kind and genuinely wanted to get to know me and wanted to help someone like me who is suffering at the hands of discrimination.”

If Trump's policy is reversed, Pasqueira says there is "no doubt" he would pursue a military career. If not, he would love to work for Jenner's foundation.
