Good afternoon Mister Hasweh. I highly appreciate you choosing me as a finalist for your scholarship. I would like you to know that your scholarship would be an enabler for me to continue my journey in languages and my religious education. You have given me a great opportunity and a great sense of motivation by selecting me as a finalist. Although I had hope while applying to scholarships, I previously thought that I most likely would not come close to winning one. I would like to personally thank you for your effort in supporting your fellow Muslims and would like you to know that your efforts are not going to waste. I remember searching "Muslim" in Bold.org with your scholarship being one of the two that I found specifically for Muslims. The fact that you have decided to be so generous and support a minority group as well as give Muslims greater opportunities means a lot to me. Your scholarship resonates with my personal struggle of finding scholarships that apply to me as a Muslim and as a Modern Languages major. Again, I thank you greatly for my finalist status, and may Allah bless you!

I am writing this note to express my deepest gratitude for the scholarship you have awarded me. Your generous support will relieve my financial burden and allow me to pursue my education with renewed determination and purpose. In Islam, seeking knowledge is highly encouraged, and your scholarship has enabled me to fulfill this Islamic duty. With your financial assistance, I can focus on my studies and actively contribute to my community. I am committed to utilizing my education to make a positive impact guided by the principles of justice, equality, and compassion emphasized in our faith.

Becoming a winner for this scholarship will mean so much to me as Islam is the one thing in my life that keeps me on a straight path, if I did not have Islam in my life, I can't even imagine where I would be. Please continue to consider me for this scholarship as any amount of money will be beneficial and I could not think of any better way to get a scholarship except through Islam.

Applying to the scholarship was an amazing reflection for me on my faith and my future. I would like to thank Youssef for giving me the opportunity to have that moment to reflect on what it is really about being Muslim, But how it shapes me.

Peace be upon you Mr. Hasweh! I want to express my great honor in being chosen as a finalist for your scholarship, which honestly made my day. I opened up bold.org to look for more scholarships, feeling a bit lost, but when I saw that I was chosen as a finalist it reinstated a sense of hope and reminded me why I am doing all of this. No matter who you choose as the winner, I wish the best for you and hope that you can continue changing lives like you have with me. May Allah (swt) greatly bless you for all your work!
