Thank you very much for your generous scholarship award. Being recognized as a worthy recipient for my academic and extracurricular efforts in high school is truly an honour. The Community is blessed to have organizations like yours giving back to it.

I want to offer my sincerest gratitude to Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance for your generosity in organizing and offering this scholarship. Your care for local communities is evident through generous programs such as this one, and your investment in the future is an excellent asset to our area and the world.

Thank you for allowing students to win scholarships through this company. Post-secondary education is costly, and your contribution is exceptionally generous. Thank you for taking the time to read all the applications sent to you and for choosing me as the recipient of the award. I’m looking forward to all the adventures that await me in college. Although I am nervous about moving so far away from home, I’m excited to be independent, meet new people, and expand my knowledge. I will remember that your scholarship helped me to get where I need to be.
