Emmanuel C.
Major: Respiratory Therapy (AS)
The support you have shown me and indubitably have shown to others shows that you, too, have the personal commission to give. Every day, fewer people seem to be interested in exhibiting this level of unselfishness. I thank you for sharing when there was no requirement to do so. Thank you!
- Emmanuel
Hope A.
Major: Pre-Licensure BSN
I'm truly grateful for the scholarship I've been awarded. Nursing school is already expensive, and for some of the burden to be taken off my shoulders is a blessing that I can't stop saying thank you for!

Major: Aviation Science & Management (BS)
It means so much to me that you decided to contribute to my education. You know, you could do so many things with your money, but instead, you chose to share it with me. I am so grateful for your kindness. I will honor your generosity by continuing to work hard to be successful. Thank you so much, for helping to open the doors of opportunity to my path of becoming a pilot.
