Greetings Mr. Businessowner:
Thank you for awarding me the outstanding student of the millennium scholarship
The scholarship means a great deal to me and my family. It will allow me the extra funds to
enable me to purchase tools that I can use to further my career in the construction industry. I
will be purchasing a new job site table saw and battery powered hand tools that will allow me
to complete quality work in a timely manner.
The generosity that you have shown not only Grays Harbor College, but me specifically, with
the award of this scholarship, is a testament to your commitment of helping others, like myself,
with financial needs. Someday I hope to be in a position to help others, as you have helped me.
Sincerely
Joe D. Student
