Dear Crowson Family, I want to sincerely thank you for selecting me as a recipient of the TJ Crowson Memorial Scholarship. It truly means a great deal to me and my family, and I feel honored to receive this recognition in TJ Crowson’s memory. This support makes a significant difference in my academic journey. Especially as a husband and a father of three. It means a great deal to be able to adequately provide for them and attend school as the sole provider. I hope this note does at least a decent job of conveying the meaning that this scholarship holds for me. Though it is hard to truly put heartfelt meaning on paper. I hope to one day give back after passing the bar in the future. Thank you for your compassion and have a blessed day! Thank you, Evan Hills

Dear Crowson Family, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for selecting me as the recipient of the TJ Crowson Memorial Scholarship. It truly means so much to be chosen for this honor, and I'm deeply thankful for your support as I pursue my education in law. Receiving this scholarship eases the financial challenges that come with law school and allows me to direct more of my energy and focus toward my academic and community commitments. Your generosity provides essential support that brings me one step closer to my aspiration of becoming an advocate for justice. Much like Mr. Crowson, my father passed away from cancer. That loss shaped my values and my path. To receive a scholarship that honors someone who lived with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to justice feels profoundly meaningful. I’m honored to carry forward Mr. Crowson’s legacy as I pursue my legal education. As a Political Science student passionate about public policy and legal studies, I strive to use my skills and experiences to promote social justice and contribute positively to our community. I'm honored to carry on TJ Crowson’s legacy through this scholarship, and I’m inspired by the impact your family continues to make by supporting students like me. Thank you for your kindness and faith in my potential. I hope to embody the values this award represents—not only in law school, but throughout my career—and to one day give back to others as you have so generously done for me. Thank you, Elizabeth Gallatin
