“I was thrilled to learn of my selection for this honor, and I am deeply appreciative of your support. As a low-income student, I never knew how I was going to afford my college education … With the aid of this scholarship, I will be able to focus on my education and help others during the duration of my college education … Thank you again for your generosity and support. I promise you I will work very hard and eventually give back to others, both as a student and as a citizen.”
