Dear Donor, Pierson Family It means so much to be on the final list. It tells me that I have a chance of being helped one day. Knowing that numerous donors are reading my story and changing individuals' or low-income students' lives motivates me to keep applying and not quit. Thus, I've already applied for almost 500 scholarships, and such recognition boosts me up to apply for more scholarships. Thank you for choosing me to be on the final list. Sincerely,

Good morning and thank you very much! This nomination for the final made my day! I'm putting all my effort into being the best student and athlete I can be. My first semester was exceptional in every way: great classes, great teachers, and a great baseball team; they all made me feel at home. I was named to the Dean's List and it is something that I am very proud of and that inspires me to continue on my path Thank you again for your support and for helping me achieve the American Dream Sincerely Jacopo Tamburini
