Because of your contribution, I now have the opportunity to fulfill my dream of going through nursing school...I am excited to meet new people and make new friends. I thank you for your scholarship and the many opportunities it will bring me."

"I want to really thank everyone in the Lions Club for giving me this opportunity with the help of their financial aid that will help start my college academic career. This has made me extremely grateful and I hope sometime in the far future I can help give kids financial assistance in education as well because a little really does go a long way."
