Thank you comments from 2025 recipients:

***I wanted to reiterate my gratitude and thanks for this bursary. This money will be put toward many fees which accumulate in my first year. This money takes a bit of weight off my mom and I’s shoulders because the cost of tuition is not cheap. This opportunity will not be taken for granted or wasted, and I wanted to make this known to your foundation. I hope in the coming years other stressed and hardworking students like me can get similar opportunities and rewards. 

***... as someone who's dealt with loss as well, I deeply respect what this scholarship represents. The drive to move forward no mater the circumstances.  Your generosity has taken a huge weight off my shoulders.
