Letter bag

Thank you so much for the scholarship award! You have no idea how much this means for me. While I was deciding between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Minnesota, the only thing that stopped me from my dream school, Carnegie Mellon, was the cost of tuition. But a couple days before the deadline, I realized that I didn't want to look back and regret my decision of not choosing to attend my dream school. So I ended up committing to Carnegie Mellon with little to no idea how I would be able to afford it and pay the student loans off in the long run.

 

Being given this scholarship was just another reassurance that I made the right decision. Thank you so much for allowing me to believe in myself. I hope one day I'll be able to do the same thing as Rotary has done for me! 

 

Thank you!
