“I am writing to express my utmost gratitude for your generosity and kindness in
choosing me as a recipient as I navigate through my final semester of Nursing
school. Recently, my wife and I had our first child, and it has been a challenge
to go to school, work, and juggle being home with my son. Your generosity has
helped my family tremendously, and I thank you for your support, belief, and
seeing potential in me as a student. As a future nurse, I aspire to provide support
and care for my community as you have provided for me.”

“Thanks to your scholarship, I can afford to complete my degree and do
what I love for the rest of my life. I hope to give back to my community one day, just
as you have. I deeply appreciate the opportunity that your scholarship has given me.
A little about me: I am currently attending NJIC, where I am majoring in Computer
Science. Thanks to the resources at OCC, I was able to transfer in as a junior, and
thanks to you, I will be able to complete my B.S. in Computer Science in the spring of
2027. Thank you again for the opportunity you have given me.”
