LCC College of Nursing
To the donor who provided the Ingham County Medical Society
Alliance Scholarship: thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I don't know if you know how important this is to me. I've just
separated from my husband of 12 years and lost my house to
foreclosure. I've been off work for 4 weeks due to illness.
Then one day, there was the envelope from LCC. I tell you, I
sat down and cried. I had not known how I was going to pay
for the last 3 terms of nursing school. But thanks to you, I will
finish college and be able to provide a strong, stable home for
my 8 year old son, Sammy. With a nursing degree, I can go
anywhere, be anything, and be able to send him to college in
the future. So you see, it's not just a nurse you've helped with
this scholarship. God bless you a thousand, thousand times over!

Dear ICMSA,
I would like to thank you for your generous

was to know that I had been selected.
Currently I am interested in pediatrics

is deeply appreciated! Thank you!

Dear ICMSA,
I am writing to graciously accept your scholarship gift of $2,500 for the Ingham County Medical Society
Alliance Scholarship. This award is met with much gratitude and appreciated. I have financed by own
undergraduate and graduate education thus far through work, loans, and generous scholarship gifts such as
yours. Your gift does a lot to relieve some of the financial burden that I will be left with upon graduation.
I am originally from Ovid, a small rural farm town in Clinton County. I graduated from Ovid-Elsie High
School in 2003. I completed my undergraduate work here at Michigan State University in 2007 with a
major in Human Biology. I immediately began medical school at MSU-COM in the summer of 2007 and
am currently finishing up my second year. I love the environment at MSU-COM. The students are very
friendly, the faculty is dedicated, the staff is caring and helpful, and organizations such as yours are very
supporting of the school. The combination of the aforementioned individuals is what makes MSU-COM
such a great place, and I will be very proud to have my name associated with this school.
I want to thank you again for your generosity and support. I plan on going into primary care, and this
field is difficult to go into with a large financial burden. You have lightened that burden for me and made
my goal of going into primary care more reasonable. I hope that one day as an alumnus that I will be able to
give back to the MSU-COM community and help a student reach their goals, as you have.
