I would first like to thank the scholarship committee for their time reading and watching the applications. Also, I want to thank the entire MiGCSA membership for their role playing in the scholarship fundraisers throughout the state! Thank you! The scholarship will help alleviate the financial burden of tuition and academic fees, allowing me to focus more on my studies in the communications field. This would enable me to take full advantage of the high-quality courses offered at Michigan State University and pursue a deep understanding of both the technical and creative aspects of sports media and communications

First and foremost, I would like to thank MIGCSA for this scholarship. It is truly an honor to be selected.
