Scholarship support has not only lightened my financial burden but has also motivated me to continue striving for excellence in my academic pursuits. This scholarship represents the recognition of my hard work, dedication, and achievements. I take great pride in sharing that I have received Dean’s List recognition in all four of my semesters as a McCoy student. Your unwavering belief in my abilities strengthened my confidence and reaffirmed my commitment to academic excellence.
