"...I cannot express how truly thankful I am for receiving this scholarship.  It has helped me furnish my dorm and purchase my books.  I never realized how expensive college would be and you have helped my parents and myself with this burden.  They are truly thankful.  I cannot speak for other recipients, but I am sure you have made them just as grateful as me to recieve this scholarship.  Kiwanis is an amazing foundation.  You put smiles on many faces."
