Dear Mr. Rasmussen, First of all, thank you for believing in me and granting me the Individualized Education Pathway Scholarship. This is the only scholarship I have won, so it is very exciting. The $500 award is equivalent to 40+ hours of work for me. I appreciate how it will help alleviate some of my financial responsibility. I think it’s amazing that you are motivated by your brother’s experience to be able to help others with learning challenges. Your brother is lucky to have you. I hope to use it to pay towards my tuition at Winthrop university, although I have not made my final decision on which college I will attend. I hope in the future I am able to pay it forward to other students like myself. Thanks again, Joshua Whitney
