LETTER OF THANKS

BUD ELLIS SCHOLARSHIP

"Dear Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science,

I would like to thank your organization so much for granting me the 1998 Bud Ellis Scholarship. It is truly an honor to have been selected. I am so grateful for being given the opportunity to continue my education at the University of Arizona, as this would only have been possible by the support of your scholarship.

By taking this scholarship I take on a responsibility to myself as well as your organization to make everyday count in my education. For my entire life I have dreamt of being able to go off to a university, and thanks to you I am finally seeing that dream become a reality. Once again thank you very much for this opportunity."

Sincerely Yours,


Shelly Brianne Cole
Yuma, Arizona
