Thank You Messages
Here are some thank you messages from many of these students.
"This scholarship is allowing me to further my education at EAC and pursue my dream of becoming an electrician. I aim to get hired as an electrical apprective at Freeport-McMoRan. The Sumitomo scholarship would benefit me greatly in achieving this goal."
"I wanted to reach out and say thank you for their generosity. When it comes down to paying for school, the greatest issue I have been facing is that I will have to take on student debt, but the money that has been given to me by you has changed that. Thank you for your consideration and generosity."
"I was excited and grateful to learn about the scholarship awarded to me this school year. I want you to know how thankful I am for your generosity... I intend to finish my degree in Computer Animated Drafting and Design and Technology and then pursue a Bachelor's degree in Engineering. Your generosity will allow me to continue my education."
