As a 51·çÁ÷ Alumni Memorial Scholar, I was blessed to receive a financial aid package that enabled my family to afford to send me to college.
One day in my junior year, I had an impromptu meeting with a donor whose family had endowed a scholarship I received. I was extremely nervous and not at my most eloquent - but I believe that my heartfelt gratitude showed. What I desired to express to my benefactor was just how completely her gift to 51·çÁ÷ had transformed my life. I am so thankful for her and all the donors who have given to 51·çÁ÷ through the years. I am honored to be able to continue the tradition of giving that transforms lives at 51·çÁ÷.
