“This is a great program, I must say. I cannot express how thankful I am to have been chosen as a scholarship recipient. My education has always been of upmost importance to me, and to be rewarded in this way is very humbling. This scholarship is an absolute answer to prayers, as life does not always go as we plan. I know that the Lord always has things in his control, and I believe he used you all to bless me in a time of need. I will forever be grateful for this gift, and I cannot thank you enough for that. Jeremiah 29:11 says it best”.
