Dear PD Instore Donor(s), I am writing to express my gratitude for choosing me to receive this scholarship. This money will allow me to work harder to reach my goals and worry less about the money I will need to reach them. I am extremely honored and grateful for your generosity towards me. Your decision to choose me will help me bring the goals I stated in my essay to life. Thank you!

Hello dear committee at PD Instore! I want to thank you for seeing the potential in me and supporting my education. Your generosity has made my family's year. I was planning to postpone going to college until fall, but this scholarship was able to help me get back on track with my education, and I plan on starting as soon as I get an acceptance. There are no words to describe the feeling we had upon seeing that I won. We are very grateful for this award, and I would like to keep in touch with you and update you on my future achievements. Your award is the first stepping stone, the backbone of my education, without it, I was not sure where I was going to start, or how. Now, I am able to confidently take up any opportunity thanks to your benevolence and trust in my ability. No matter what I end up studying, aviation or architecture, it will be enabled by your support. Thank you, again, for selecting me as a winner, as this means more than anything for my family and me. I am now able to learn and help my family. You have truly moved my heart and I will forever be thankful for this act of kindness. Thank you for believing in me.
