I am writing to express my upmost gratitude in receiving the Michael T. Bardin scholarship. I feel very lucky to receive such a meaningful scholarship and for being chosen out of more than 150 applicants. I went to read about Mr. Bardin online, but I was very sad to find out he had passed away in 2005. I am also very glad to hear how brave and how much an advocate of education he had been. To me, there could not be a scholarship better to receive than one made as a tribute to education and the life of Mr. Bardin.
I am a junior at Southcentral Community and Technical College. This scholarship will help me complete my AAS degree and complete a few business/marketing credit hours, while I am at it.
