The Kate Garrod Post Scholarship

Dear Woman’s Literary Club of Holland,

Thank you so much for selecting me as a recipient of the Kate Garrod Post Scholarship. I am very honored and grateful for your generosity and support.

Receiving this scholarship means a lot to me, financially, education wise and personally. It allows me to focus more on my education and future goals without the added stress of financial burden. I am currently studying early childhood education to create a better education future for younger students and I’m working toward building a future where I can make a meaningful impact, and your support helps make that possible.

I sincerely appreciate your investment in college students and higher education.

Dear Woman’s Literary Club,

Thank you for investing in students like me! I feel honored to be chosen to receive this scholarship and grateful for the financial support that it means. Currently, I am studying abroad in Ecuador! It has been a wonderful experience, but it has meant that I haven’t had as much time to apply for scholarships for next year. In this award, I see God is taking care of me through the generosity of my community, even while I’m far away from home. I’m looking forward to coming back in the fall for my senior year and am excited about the future that lies ahead! Receiving this scholarship means I can focus less on paying for college and more on taking advantage of the opportunities during my senior year and after I graduate. Thank you once again for your generosity!

Dear Woman’s Literary Club,

Thank you so much for selecting me as your 2025 scholarship recipient! I am extremely grateful for the impact that your generous support will have on my education. Your support allows me to pursue my studies with greater focus, relieving some of the heavy financial pressure that accompanies higher education. I am currently enrolled in an accelerated graduate program for speech-language pathology, and your contribution will help me continue pursuing my passion for supporting children and adults with a wide range of communication challenges. I am extremely excited for my upcoming clinical year where I will have the opportunity to complete internships in both educational and medical settings. Your scholarship means more than you know and will directly advance my commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. I appreciate this so much, thank you!

Dear Woman’s Literary Club,

Thank you for choosing me as your 2024 scholarship recipient. Your generosity will help me continue pursuing my goals while going into my senior year at the University of Minnesota. Next year, I am looking forward to my wide array of classes from social justice to Spanish and a course focused on issues in urban education where I will have the opportunity to work in a classroom setting at a nearby school. Outside of academics, I am excited to continue playing hockey for my universities club hockey team and working to grow and create more positive change through my on campus student organization I started this spring, centered around gun violence prevention, called Students Demand action at UMN. Your scholarship is greatly appreciated and will support me through all that the future hold. Thank you!

Dear Woman’s Literary Club,

Thank you very much for selecting me as the scholarship recipient! This means a huge deal to me as the reality of paying off student loans coupled with preparing for three years of paying for graduate school has been a scary thought. Your generosity makes it much easier to focus on school and learning what I enjoy rather than having to be worried about how I will afford it. Thank you so much for your generosity as it is incredibly impactful. Thank you!
