To the gracious donor(s) of this scholarship, I first want to thank you for your consideration and selection of me for this scholarship. I am so grateful and hopeful for where this contribution will take me. Being an incoming freshman at a university as big and prestigious as Texas A&M brings many stressors, one of them being the financial aspect of higher education. With this scholarship, I find further motivation to make my loved ones proud as a venture through the challenges and successes of my undergraduate studies in Neuroscience. The leaps and bounds of my future are just Around the Corner, and this company's gift to me will not be forgotten through that journey.

"It feels amazing to have won this scholarship, and I feel incredibly honored. For the last two years, I have worked extremely hard at my jobs to save enough money for college tuition. Now that I've applied for scholarships, and have won this one, I know that I have some money other than my own to put towards my academics. I cannot wait to apply this scholarship to the college of my choice, which has yet to be determined, and pursue a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. This scholarship is just one step further to me shaping the future. It means a lot to me, and for that I thank Access Scholarships!"
