“Thank you very much for your support. As a first-year student entering university during the pandemic, there was a big transition. With your scholarship I have been able to focus my energy on both my studies and passions, making my first-year experience way better than I could have ever imagined. As volunteering is a big passion of mine, this opportunity to live close to campus and get involved in local community projects is really amazing. I am now almost at the end of my first year of university, and I am so happy about how things have turned out.”
