Throughout the scholarship season, we are spotlighting scholarship recipients by sharing the thank you notes they submitted to their respective scholarship committees. The donors who support these funds and the volunteers and committee members who champion these funds are all investing in the future of this region. We thank them for their work in making a sustainable impact of the lives of those who call our community home.
Jacob Anderson, who graduated from Bagley High School, earned the Bagley General Scholarship.
Here is what he submitted:
This scholarship will help me financially by helping me pay for my textbooks and … some of my semester bill. I was unaware that I was awarded this scholarship until the night of senior awards and recognition at Bagley High School. The presenter of this scholarship that night was my theater director Marilyn Hood, and she recognized my participation in the theater program at Bagley High School for this scholarship as well. Again, I am very appreciative of this scholarship, and I thank the family of Dorris Anderson for awarding me this scholarship.
Sincerely,
Jacob Anderson
