I would like to thank all Marywood team, donors administrative staff, and well-wishers for all supports and continued assistance all these hard years. I would come all all these way without the support of above great hearts.

If given a chance to thank the thousands of donors at Marywood, I would start by letting them know what an honor it is to meet them in person as I shake their hands. Then I would express my gratitude by thanking each and everyone of them from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity which they have given to myself and all the other students here at Marywood to follow our career paths. Because of their great generosity students like me have a real chance to a bright and successful future. This is a gift that is priceless, everlasting, and shines bright like the sun over the earth.

Thank you so much for supporting my education at Marywood. Your support truly enables me to accomplish my dreams of becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist and helping others for the rest of my life. I am so blessed that, because of this scholarship, I am attending a school that cares about my success, encourages me to become a leader, and gives me numerous opportunities to serve those in need throughout the community. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for you and your amazing support!

There are not enough words to explain the gratitude I have for those who have helped make a financial contribution to support my education here at Marywood. Your support keeps me striving to follow through and be the best teacher I can be. It also makes me want to teach my future students the importance of helping others. If it wasn’t for those of you who made a contribution, I most likely would have given up on my dreams, and I am just so, so, so, thankful! THANK YOU!

Scholarship support not only gives me the opportunity to pursue my education at Marywood, but also to grow personally. I have been able to join many organizations where I was given leadership opportunities. I have also taken advantage of many of the service events on campus. All of these opportunities have helped me grow my confidence, meet amazing people, and have countless learning experiences along the way.

Because of the generosity of Marywood alumni and friends, I have the ability to pursue an exceptional post-secondary education, learn in a comfortable environment, spend time with valuable people, and make unforgettable memories. I have made friends I hope to never lose, been involved in my community more than ever, and I have learned so much about myself in the process. As a pre-PA major, I am working hard to be accepted into the Marywood Physician Assistant Program in my sophomore year. This motivated me to become a nurse’s assistant at a local rehabilitation hospital and learn the basic ins and outs of patient care. Two specialties that interest me are Pediatrics and Cardiology - once I graduate, I look forward to working in healthcare. I am very grateful for the education I am receiving, for my hometown, and my community. In the future, I plan to pay it forward staying involved as a Marywood alumna, serving as a Physician’s Assistant, and maintaining valuable relationships with my family and my community. The support our generous donors provide has granted me numerous experiences and will continue to make a lasting impact on my life. In the future, I would like give back to Marywood in order to inspire Marywood students, just like our current donors have inspired me.” THANK YOU for giving me the gift of opportunity. I hope to do the same for others!
