with sincere gratitude…<br />
I want to thank you for awarding me the <strong>Nursing</strong> Alumni Scholarship for the 2005-2006<br />
academic year. It is great to know that someone believes in me as I continue these next<br />
two years in the nursing program. I enjoy serving on various committees such as the<br />
<strong>Nursing</strong> College Board and look forward to becoming involved in more activities such as<br />
the honors program and related research projects. In the future after having work<br />
experience, I hope to earn a masters degree. I am proud to be a student in the <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> Minnesota <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nursing</strong> and appreciate the support that you have given me.<br />
