Dear Vitality Institute, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for being chosen as the recipient of the Brown Skin Agenda Aesthetics & Cosmetology Scholarship. It truly means so much to me to be honored in this way, and I'm glad to have learned about the Brown Skin Agenda through this scholarship. Your support provides meaningful financial relief as I pursue my Master’s degree as a Nurse Practitioner. This opportunity helps lighten the financial load of advanced education, allowing me to focus more on honing my clinical skills and less on financial concerns. With over fifteen years in dermatology and aesthetic care, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative self-confidence can be for clients of color. This scholarship brings me one step closer to providing comprehensive, culturally competent care and supporting others on their journeys to self-love and skin health. Your dedication to empowering people of all skin tones to feel confident in their own skin truly resonates with me. I feel inspired by your commitment to advancing self-care and inclusivity within skincare, and I look forward to upholding these values in my own practice. Thank you for your generosity and for investing in my education. Your support has made a real difference, and I am eager to carry forward the spirit of this scholarship as I continue my journey. Thank you, Juan Carlos Delgado
