Mrs. Susan J. Scholarship
Pay for College Scholarship
1111 Scholarship Lane
Brooklyn, New York 11238
Dear Mrs. Scholarship,
I am honored to be a recipient of the Pay for College Scholarship.
I thank you for your generous support of this award and for helping
local Brooklyn residents with financial need afford college.
I have just begun my freshman year at Prestigious University,
where I plan on pursuing a degree in education. I one day hope to
be a high school English teacher, sharing my love of Shakespeare and
Hemingway with young adults. I have already begun tutoring local high
school students as part of the university's Students in Schools program.
My parents have always stressed the importance of education and the
value of a college degree. I hope one day to share these same lessons
with high school students and to help prepare them for success in college.
Once again, I want to thank you for making this scholarship possible
and for your generosity toward the Brooklyn community. I hope to represent
the Pay for College Scholarship in a positive manner and give back to my
community as you have.
Sincerely,
John Q. Scholarship
