I knew no one at Cedarville when I first came as a freshman, but quickly saw how so many people pour their lives into making this a great school and a great place to be. I want to thank all of the alumni who have helped shape Cedarville through their presence as students and their continued support of the University.

I’d like to say thank you to the alumni for awarding me this scholarship. Your generosity and commitment to Cedarville have not been overlooked. I am entirely grateful for your investment and care in Cedarville. Thank you so much for this meaningful award. God bless!

I am humbled by this honor and praise God for His faithfulness in providing for all my needs. We truly serve an awesome and wonderful God!
