I would like to thank the OPSF scholarship for giving me this opportunity to continue being myself as a person, to gain growth in my academic and athletic career, and to be able to have a bright future that is waiting for me at the end of the tunnel

Thank you so much for this scholarship. My past four years at Central, have truly enlightened me and pushed me to further my education. I realized I want to help people, specifically kids. So, I will be attending Xavier University of Louisiana majoring in Elementary Education this fall. I hope as my journey continues that I not only get to make a difference in the classroom but within my community. I love volunteering and politics has been a new interest of mine, so making positive changes in those ways for public education is part of my goal. Outside of education I hope to keep traveling and explore New Orleans truly making it my new home. Without your contribution i wouldn’t be able to do these things so again I want to thank you.

The scholarship to me means getting closer to my goal of getting into engineering which has been a goal of mine since I was super young. the scholarship is meaningful to me because I grew up wanting to get into the engineering field. I would always watch my dad do his thing and it always interested me.

I am forever grateful for your generosity in selecting me as a recipient of your scholarship! With your help, I can achieve my goal of focusing on my studies and becoming the best version of myself throughout college. Your kindness will always be part of my journey as I now lead the way for my younger siblings to accomplish their future academic dreams! I have been very excited stepping into my new path in life and can thank the entire Tenaska team for believing in my potential! God bless you!

Thank you for selecting me as a recipient for this scholarship. This is allowing me time to further my education at the University of Oklahoma, further more this scholarship opened up a rare opportunity.

I am passionate about entering the finance field with the hope of helping others manage their finances more effectively. Your generous contribution will play a vital role in making this vision a reality.

Reflecting on my journey, I cannot overstate the impact that Skinner Elementary has had on shaping who I am today. The values and knowledge I learned in my time there have been foundational in my pursuit of higher education. I am forever grateful to the dedicated teachers and staff at Skinner Elementary who nurtured my curiosity and encouraged my academic growth.

This scholarship is not only a financial boost but also a testament to the belief in my potential. It helps me with my commitment to using my education to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I look forward to the day when I can give back to the community, just as you have to me.
