“I am thankful for the opportunities which you have made possible to me, and I do not take your financial support for granted. I now have opportunities to continue pursuing the things that matter most to me — learning languages, making acquaintances and sharing what I have learned to the others around me. Thank you once again for making this possible, I would not have access to the resources that I do at Ohio State without you.”

“I have had such a rewarding time being a part of The Ohio State University, and I would like donors to know how thankful I am for the opportunity to continue my time here. Without this generous donation, I would not have been able to still be a Buckeye, and I am grateful every day to have been chosen for this scholarship. Being at Ohio State has been nothing short of the best years of my life, and I look forward to my last two years being on campus. From football games to service projects, my experience here has been nothing short of extremely fulfilling. Thank you!”

“I have had the opportunity to meet and learn from so many incredible people. I have learned endless lessons and challenged my previous assumptions or ways of thinking. I have grown as a thinker and in my second language. In my time as a student here I have developed a love for learning that I never knew I could possess. In the future, I know my time at Ohio State will help make me a better law student, lawyer and person. Thank you for helping me on my journey.”

“Your investment in my future motivates me to continue to put forth my best effort in my academic and professional endeavors. I was initially drawn to Ohio State for its vast array of resources and means to grow both as a student and a person. I am truly grateful for all of the opportunities Ohio State has provided me with to challenge myself, explore my career interests and connect with other like-minded students. Yet what I appreciate most is the constant support I receive from those around me. It is truly humbling to be surrounded by so many that are willing to support and guide me throughout my academic journey. Thus, your donation in support of my endeavors is extremely valuable to me. Again, I thank you for your generosity and your confidence in my future.”

“This scholarship has allowed me to take time to write and develop my ideas in ways that can feel difficult in college. Between working, homework, classes and clubs, it can be impossible to find time to write creatively. With this scholarship, I have been able to work less hours and take more time to write and develop a portfolio of work that I am truly proud of. As an out-of-state student, the cost of college is daunting, especially as someone going into a profession without a clear path following graduation. This scholarship has allowed for some breathing room and space to be creative in my final year at Ohio State.”
