Dear Tong, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for awarding me the W. Tong and A.C. Wong 2025 Legacy Scholarship. I feel truly grateful and honored to be selected as a recipient of this generous award, and it means so much to me as I begin my journey at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Your support relieves a major financial challenge for my family and me, enabling me to focus on my studies and ambitions in biological sciences without added stress. This scholarship is helping turn my dream of becoming a biomedical engineer into reality, empowering me to pursue my passion for science and healthcare. I’m determined to use my education to make a real difference in people’s lives, especially within my community. Knowing that your scholarship is dedicated to helping students like myself inspires me to give back and keep your mission alive. I’m motivated by your vision of opening doors for students to create the lives they dream of. Thank you for your generosity and belief in my potential. Your kindness has already touched my life, and I look forward to the day I can pay this support forward. Thank you, Jordyn Doctolero

Dear Tong, I feel so incredibly blessed to receive this scholarship from you. Your story of instilling values of hard work in your kids is something I have deeply related to and hope to pass on to my own kids. This scholarship will allow me to purchase new technology and textbooks to pursue an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree this upcoming Fall 2025 semester and relieve the financial stress I thought to be inevitable. I feel now more empowered than ever to take my future into my own hands and create a difference with the new resources I now have. Thank you so much for your generosity, and I hope I can meet you one day with many stories to share with the support you have given to me. Sincerely, Bryan Chan
