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.
Misha Montgomery, who graduated from Bemidji High School, earned the Ray F. and John F. Breen Scholarship.
Here is what she submitted:
Hello! I’m from Bemidji and my name is Misha Montgomery. I thank the donors of the Ray and John F. Breen Scholarship for giving me money to pursue a higher education. Currently, I’m having financial issues due to my family situation and this scholarship money is helping me a LOT with my tuition. When I heard my name selected for this scholarship I was overjoyed, it was one of the only ones I received, and I tried very hard in high school, at least I thought so. But anyways, thank you again so much, from the bottom of my heart. – Misha V. Montgomery
Again, thank you so much!
Misha V. Montgomery
