I want to thank you for the $1,500 MFA Foundation scholarship that you awarded me at graduation. The scholarship money will be used for my tuition at Murray State University in Murray, Ky. My major is wildlife management with a minor in agriculture business.

I am very anxious to start my college education. The scholarship money will help to start me on the way. Thank you for your generosity.

I was named an MFA scholarship winner this year. And my journey to my future college draws closer. Along with this is the high cost of attending college. It is a daunting task for any student to be able to afford a college education. Your scholarship has made this task easier. It is the generosity of your foundation that allows me to be able to continue my education. It's a rare thing to find those who are willing to take a chance on today's youth. I thank you for your continued support of the community around you. It is my hope that you will be able to share this opportunity with future students for years to come. Receiving your scholarship made a great impact on my future dreams. I was very grateful to be able to share this wonderful event with my friends, classmates, teachers and family. It was a great honor. Thank you.
