“Thank you very much for awarding me your scholarship.  I can not thank you enough for your generosity.  This scholarship will definitely help me pay some of [my] tuition’s expenses and will take some pressure off of my mother and I.  Thank you for helping me reach my goal towards becoming a marine biologist.” Shelby F.
