Thank You Messages 

Here are some thank you messages from many of these students.

"You have no idea how much you have helped me and my family out... I can't thank you enough for giving me this amazing opportunity to further my education. It is through the support and contributions like yourself that many students, like myself, are able to pursue our academic goals and achieve our dreams."

"I wanted to express how honored I am to have been selected for the John Mickelson Endowed Scholarship. Because of your generosity, I will be able to pay for the next year of my nursing education. I plan to graduate with my associates of nursing, receive my Bachelors of nursing soon after that, and the complete a master's degree so that I can work as a nurse practioner."

"I am inspired by this opportunity and motivated to give back to others through my work in healthcare. I am ready to work hard, give back, and represent Eastern Arizona College with pride. Please accept my deepest thanks for your investment in my education and my future."
