Being a winner of this scholarship truly means the world to me. Coming from a single-income household, I’ve seen firsthand the sacrifices my parent has made to support my education and dreams. This scholarship is more than just financial help—it’s a blessing that lifts some of that weight off our shoulders and allows me to focus on my journey to becoming a nurse practitioner. It reminds me that I’m not alone in this path and that others believe in my potential, too. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Your support is not only helping me reach my goals, but it’s also encouraging me to keep pushing forward and one day give back to others the way you’ve given to me.

Dear Ms. Sharon McGregor, I want to sincerely thank you for awarding me the Gwendolyn M. Sanders Nursing Scholarship. I am truly honored to be chosen as a recipient of a scholarship that reflects such a powerful legacy of love, service, and perseverance. As a nursing student at Morgan State University and co-founder of 1 Brotherhood Empowered, I strive to uplift others through compassion and community leadership—values that Mrs. Sanders so beautifully embodied. Her story is an inspiration, and this scholarship brings me one step closer to realizing my own dream of making a lasting impact through nursing. Thank you again for your generosity and belief in my potential. With deep appreciation, Anthony Thompson
