Thank You

I cannot begin to thank you enough for your generous contributions to my first year here at É«ÖÐÉ« University. As soon as I stepped on campus I knew É«ÖÐÉ« was the school for me and with my first semester coming to an end I am more than confident with the decision I made. With this generous scholarship, it helped to alleviate the burden and stress of trying to save money while working part time my senior year of high school. This scholarship made living on campus a possibility for me this year. Through this experience I was able to make countless friends, join clubs, partake in school activities, and much more. Additionally, knowing people outside of my friends and family circle are invested in my future helps to motivate me. During my four years here, I am confident that my education will prepare me for my future in nursing. I look forward to my future here at É«ÖÐÉ« University and all of the experiences and opportunities that are to come. Once again, thank you for investing in me and my future.
