Words of Thanks from Capstone Community Scholarship Recipients

“The Capstone Community Scholarship has given me the financial boost I needed to pursue my goals. Thanks to this scholarship, I have the financial security to student teach abroad in Spain. I'm looking forward to this experience that will surely broaden my world view and help me to be a better teacher and world citizen. While there, I will have the opportunity to work at an IB school, which has been a dream of mine for many years. Thank you for the Capstone Community Scholarship!”

"The Capstone Community Scholarship has been incredibly helpful in furthering my education at MSU, Mankato. Because of this scholarship, tuition at my university has not been a great concern for me, which has allowed me to take advantage of other professional development opportunities! I am able to be more involved in the College of Education's school sanctioned club, as well as student teaching abroad next semester. I am very grateful for the possibilities that the Capstone Community Scholarship has opened up for me! Thank you!"

"The Capstone Community Scholarship is much more than financial aid. I am most grateful that scholarships like this recognize the achievements of students who not only try to excel in their studies, but try to make a difference to the community they live in. The scholarship is a great inspiration to pursue my career goal in the publishing industry upon graduation from Oxford Brookes University. I feel very honored to be one of the recipients of the Capstone Community Scholarship. Your generosity has inspired me to keep up the cultural engagement in the Oxford (Literary and Cultural) Community and I hope that my accomplishments at the university and beyond compliment this award. While the scholarship has lightened my financial burden for this year’s educational expenses, it allows me to focus more on my university studies. This financial support is especially appreciated as I am living and studying abroad and away from my family. As much as I am trying to encourage fellow students now to get involved in community projects, I hope that in the future I will gain a position in which I can support students just as you have helped me."
