THANK YOU

 

Words cannot express how deeply appreciative I am for receiving this scholarship.  I feel very privileged for receiving this award.  I look forward to studying again this following semester, gearing up for the final run to graduation as this is going to be my senior year.  With assistance such as this, a great amount of stress is lifted making my college life that much easier and allowing me to focus more clearly on other subjects.  I have had the privilege of working with the WCNHB a number of different times and look forward to continued involvement with your organization.  Thank you very much for this generous award, I am truly grateful.

Thanks again,

Connor Doyle
