I am writing this with profound gratitude to the donors who made the Wigham Family Thesis Prize possible. This scholarship is awarded to Honors College students entering their senior year who will be completing an undergraduate thesis. I recently received notice that I was one of the chosen recipients for the 2009-2010 academic year.

I truly appreciate the support I will be receiving next year.

University of Oregon students come from all over the country and all over the world. We study a huge variety of majors, and are involved in all kinds of sports, clubs, volunteering, and internships. We study hard and we work hard. The support we get from scholarship donors is incredibly important in allowing us to pursue all of these activities and lead a full college life.

So, to all of the donors who have made scholarships for students possible, thank you very much. I have been able to pursue my academic, career, and extracurricular passions and pursuits because of financial support I have received from the University in general and family donors in particular. As an out-of-state student, I probably could not have completed four years at the University of Oregon without this help.

I want to express my gratitude specifically to the donors of the Wigham family. Thank you for making a college education at the University of Oregon more full of possibilities for students you have helped. Thank you so much for supporting me.

Thank you.
