I just wanted to say thank you — truly. Being chosen for the Atwood Leadership and Service Scholarship means more to me than I can put into words. It’s not just about the financial support, though that certainly helps. It’s about being seen. Knowing that someone out there believes in what I’ve done and sees potential in where I’m going is incredibly encouraging. Leadership and service have always been at the heart of what I do. Whether it’s volunteering in my community or stepping up when something needs to get done, I’ve always believed that small efforts can create real change. Receiving this scholarship reminds me that those values matter. Thank you for creating this opportunity and for supporting students like me. I’m excited to take the next steps in my education and carry these values with me every step of the way. With gratitude, Ryan Scott
