To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to your foundation for awarding me a Goizueta Scholarship this semester.

This award comes at a time in my life where I am undergoing a tremendous personal crisis. As I struggle to remain in school, I am awestruck by the generosity of a gift such as yours that was completely unexpected. It is wonderful and reassuring to know that there are people and organizations who graciously give a helping hand to others in need.

This scholarship award will help me, immensely, to continue my dream of completing my bachelor degree in Elementary Education.

Thank you wholeheartedly, once again, for this wonderful gift.

Sincerely,

Hydie E. Pettinger-Gonzalez
