"I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone at MiGCSA who made this scholarship possible! I'm honored to be a recipient of this scholarship, as it will help fund my tuition at the University of Michigan in my final year. I am planning to graduate in May of 2025 with degrees in biochemistry and environmental science, and eventually hope to attend graduate school to further my studies in climate change and its impacts on the environment and human health. This scholarship provides an important stepping stone to help me reach these academic goals. I am incredibly grateful!"

"Being selected as a recipient of the Heritage Scholarship is a true honor that I do not take lightly.

"I am so grateful to have received this award! Being able to attend college is so important to me, and this scholarship money will help me to continue doing so as I head into my senior year at U of M this fall. I would not be able to afford college if it weren’t for my maintenance job at a course in Northern Michigan that I’ve had for the past four years, nor without this generous scholarship from the very people who make golf courses run! It means so much to me that my hard work both in and outside of school has been recognized by so many accomplished individuals, and I cannot wait to keep going to school for English so that I can keep pursuing the path of becoming an editor, while continuing to be part of the golf course industry in the summer. Being true to myself and my faith has gotten me to where I am today, and I am so thankful that the MiGCSA committee sees that. Thank you, MiGCSA!"

Receiving this scholarship is not only an immense honor but also a financial relief for me and my family. Your generous support means more to me than words can express.
