Here’s what some of them have to say:

"Without scholarship patrons like you, there would be many students, such as myself, who would be unable to pursue a career they’ve dreamed of. You have lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus more on the most important aspect of school, learning. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community."

A’Shia W.

“I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for what you are doing for me. Thus far, Purdue has been a very positive experience for me. I would just like to thank you very much.”

Brittany A.

“I appreciate being one of the chosen students for the Bowen Scholarship. The funds that I received really helped a lot. I wish that some day I am able to do the same for someone else. You have truly been a blessing to me.”

Regina J.

“I am writing this letter to say thank you for believing in me. Being a recipient for the Bowen Scholarship just adds more reason as to why failure is not an option for me. I know that there will be times when I question my ability, but just knowing that you guys are behind me is even more motivation to success.”

Womba S.

“Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to have lunch and celebrate my graduation. Your thoughtful words or encouragement and sincere kindness were greatly appreciated.”
