NET PROCEEDS SUPPORT NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS
“Being able to represent Utah Tech is a tremendous blessing. I would like to thank you (donors) for this scholarship and the weight it has lifted off my family’s and my shoulders. Receiving this will enable me to further my studies and my professional aspirations. The scholarship gives me the confidence to leave my family and succeed in school.”
“As a non-traditional student Meri “hopes her children will see that they really can be whatever they want if they work hard enough. This assistance is significant encouragement for me to persist in my journey, because I know others care and support me. This contribution to my education is life-changing.”
“Words cannot fully express my appreciation for this opportunity. Receiving this scholarship will allow me to dedicate more time and energy to my studies while alleviation the burden of school costs. This support rescues my worries and anxiety about extra school-related expenses.”
“I am both humbled and honored to be a recipient of this scholarship, and would like to express my gratitude to you for allowing me to continue my education through this financial assistance. I didn’t have role models who advocated for higher education, and when the financial aspect came up, I didn’t think I would be able to afford the required amounts. As an adult, I’ve learned that there are generous people in the world, who would help people in need because they understand that help can nurture potential. This scholarship will go beyond helping just me; I will do my best to pass this gift to those I come in contact with.”
