Thank You Messages 

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

"I cannot describe how much you have helped me with my college education funds with your selfless contributions. The burdens you have lifted from my shoulders is something I can only repay with words of sincere gratitude. You have made my educational dreams a reality through this scholarship!"

"You have lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus more on the most important aspect of school, learning. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me. Thank you again for your generosity."

"Thank you so much for the scholarship opportunity. I am so grateful that you chose to help me fulfill my education and accomplish my goals for my second year of college...All of these moments [first year's experiences] were a lot of work and pushed me to better myself, and I would not have been able to do any of these things if it weren't for you and your wonderful scholarship."
