Scholars Program Scholarship Recipients

Excerpted from thank you notes sent by scholarship recipients to scholarship donors...

“You must have received many letters like this throughout the years, and I, like them, truly thank you for the aid you have given to my family and me. I hope one day, at the end of it all, to be able to give to someone else in need of the means to a future.”
Jessica Barrett ’08

“Know that your help is not going to waste. I will continue my journey at Holy Cross with pride — mindful of those who have come before me.”
Kathryn Dearing ’07

“As a senior psychology major, I look back with gratitude on the opportunities that have been presented to me during my 3 ˝ years at Holy Cross…Without your help, I would not have had the opportunity to have such a wonderful education and the chance for a rewarding career. Again, thank you for your support. I hope to be able to help another Holy Cross student like myself someday, and return your favor.”
Emily Lynch ’06

“In the years to come, I hope to be in a position to help a Holy Cross student in need, just as you are doing. My family and I are very grateful for your generosity. I look forward to meeting you so I can thank you in person.”
Dennis Rose '07

And from one of our donors...

“The reason we support the program is that Holy Cross gave me a financial aid package in 1975. Without that financial support, I would not have attended Holy Cross. My wife, Trish, and I consider it a privilege and honor to help other qualified students who might otherwise not be able to attend HC. Since the mission of the school is to train "men and women for others," I believe we should live out this message and the Scholars Program has given us the opportunity to do that.”
