Thank You

I am so grateful for all of the help I have been provided. I cannot express how forever thankful I am for this opportunity to receive this scholarship. To even be considered means the absolute world to me, and I could not be happier. I come from a family with a single parent, which means paying for college for two children is very difficult. Without this scholarship, it would not be possible. Having an education means so much to me, especially being a first-generation student. I’ve always struggled in school but having the opportunity to attend a university—an opportunity I know not everyone receives—has inspired me to give my absolute best in every class. Moravian means so much to me, and I am so honored to be a part of this school.
