Dear Mr. Beneschott, I sincerely appreciate being selected as a recipient of the National Healthcare Heroes Grant for Nurses. Your generous support will significantly assist me as I pursue my Master of Science in Nursing, allowing greater focus on my education. As someone dedicated to psychiatric mental health nursing, I am committed to providing holistic, compassionate care. Whether through my previous roles as a psychiatric technician, registered nurse, or now as I train to become a Nurse Practitioner, I aim to serve my patients with empathy and dedication. Balancing graduate studies with two jobs not only helps me grow professionally but also enables me to bring a diverse range of experiences to those I care for. Your own journey, shaped by scholarship opportunities, deeply resonates with me. Your commitment through The Bold Foundation to eliminating student debt is both inspiring and impactful. It’s heartening to see someone who has achieved success use their platform to uplift others, and I hope to do the same for future healthcare professionals one day. Thank you for your belief in and support for healthcare workers like myself. Your generosity means more than I can express, and I am dedicated to paying it forward through my care for patients and community. Sincerely, Irvan Mandalas

Dear Breanden, I want to sincerely thank you for selecting me as the recipient of the Kim Beneschott Creative Arts Scholarship. Receiving this award means so much to me, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have your support as I work toward my goals. This scholarship lightens my financial load and lets me focus more deeply on my illustration studies at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I’m pursuing my dream of becoming a concept designer in the entertainment industry. Your generosity gives me the freedom to spend more time honing my craft, developing new characters, and exploring storytelling through visual art. Thank you again for believing in me and for investing in young creators. With your support, I feel more confident than ever pursuing a career that brings imaginative worlds to life. I hope to someday pay forward the same generosity and encouragement you’ve shown me. Thank you, Lilly Ball

Winning this scholarship was life-changing for me. This summer, I faced many stressful situations that compounded one another. I wondered if I could continue on my academic journey despite all the stress and negativity I was trying to manage and overcome. Then, I won the National Healthcare Heroes Grant for Nurses, to my joy and surprise. As a nurse, winning this scholarship made me feel valued, and as a student, it allowed me to continue my academic pursuits. I extend my deepest gratitude to Breandan Beneschott. Your support has truly made a lasting impact on my life for the good.
