“To the Gracious People Who Make Dreams Come True,  

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to continue working towards my higher education by granting me as a recipient of the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship. I appreciate the donors’ generosity and will continue to strive to live up to the UCHealth standards. With this scholarship, I will be able to continue on my educational journey and look forward to a lasting relationship that continues to grow. Words cannot express how grateful I am for this blessing and with this scholarship, it will help in so many ways with tuition, supplies and so much more. Thank you for considering me, let alone giving me have the chance to be granted this wonderful opportunity.”

“To whom it may concern,  

I want to express my greatest thanks for awarding me the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship. I have worked at UCHealth for almost a year now and have personally witnessed the excellence in patient care, teamwork and education UCHealth offers everyone who walks in the door. I have learned invaluable lessons and gained immense experience by working as an ACP on my home unit, 4 East Med-Surg. The staff here treats all their patients with such respect and kindness. This lights a fire in me to bring that same level of patient care to all the patients that come under my wing when I become a nurse. All the nurses I have worked with have been such amazing teachers and take time to ensure I understand what is being taught.  
 
I am a full-time student who works full-time at the hospital. Some weeks I end up spending 60+ on the floor as an employee and student nurse combined. I am completely independent and pay for all my expenses myself, which is part of the reason why I am required to work the hours that I do. Being awarded this scholarship will help me pay for my tuition, and in turn, will allow me to stress less about the financial burden I experience as a college student. Bills, gas and food are just some of the most basic expenses that cause me anxiety month to month. That financial strain will be significantly reduced thanks to your gracious gift.  
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity. You are bettering my life so that I can do the same once I finish school and become a nurse.”

“Dear UCHealth Memorial Foundation, 

Thank you so much for choosing me to receive the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Scholarship. Every bit of generosity helps. So I would like to say again, thank you so much! The first scholarship helped me pay for my books and tuition last year. I am so grateful that I was chosen again this year! 

As I said in my interview, this money will help me pay for the portion of college that I am required to pay for. I find that I have to work harder in school than others, so the extra time I can  get from not working as much is very valuable to me. It will allow me to focus more on my studies. It was such a pleasure to meet all of you in person this year and get to put faces to names.”

“Dear UCHealth Memorial Foundation and Donors,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the UCHealth Memorial CNO Nursing Scholarship that I am fortunate enough to receive.

“Dear UCHealth Memorial Foundation and Donors,

I cannot thank you all enough for the generosity that has been given to me. This generous gift is something that I was admittedly not expecting to receive. I will admit that going into the
conference room and seeing so many people for the selection committee made me nervous to start, but once I was able to start, I was able to confidently answer the questions and be more of myself in the interview. In receiving this gift, I will be able to more fully focus on my studies and be able to provide the best care I can to my patients. I am so grateful for the enormous generosity that not only I have been shown, but also the generosity being shown to other applicants who also received this scholarship in working for UCHealth. I would like to also thank the donors to the Foundation that allowed this scholarship to be possible for me and all other applicants who were able to apply and receive this scholarship with thankfulness and kindness. I will perform to the highest of my ability to make this scholarship worthwhile to me and be able to pass on this kindness to the people I come across every day, but most importantly to my patients and their families.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.”

“To whom it may concern,

I wanted to thank everyone who made it possible for me to achieve this scholarship. Thank you to the managers who supported me, for the wonderful individuals who interviewed me and especially for the amazing donations made by people who care about other’s education. I am ecstatic to be able to advance my career in nursing and this scholarship is such an immense help to me. It really is the generosity of other people that can make the difference for someone else. So, thank you once again for the funds of this scholarship and the opportunity to move forward.

Thank you to everyone who contributed.”
