Grateful Hearts: Thank-You Letters from

Sia Yorker Medical Scholarship Foundation Recipients and Families

​

 

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Yorker,                       

 

I cannot thank you enough for the incredible gift of this scholarship. I am truly grateful to you and the board for taking the time to select me as one of the 2016 Sia Yorker Medical Science Scholarship recipients.

​

The banquet was wonderful, and the individuals who spoke with us were both inspiring and encouraging. It meant so much to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about our futures.

​

Thank you again for believing in me and in what lies ahead. I know I do not speak for myself alone when I say how honored and thankful we are. I am excited to see what the future holds.

​

Sincerely,
Emily Gearheart
2016 Deltona High School Graduate

Thank you for sharing a window into your lives with us. We are grateful for the experience and wish you and your family all the best in the future.

 

With sincere appreciation,
