The FGCE is honored to have impacted the lives of thousands of students over the years with scholarship funds. In this blog series we highlight feedback from our current and past recipients, showcasing the impact our financial and organizational support has had and how it impacts their lives.
Receiving this scholarship means more to me than I can express in a letter. These scholarships not only help me financially, but also serve as a tremendous source of encouragement and motivation. Your belief in my abilities and dedication to furthering my education is both humbling and inspiring. Your support has allowed me to focus on my studies and pursue my dreams.
I want to express my sincere gratitude for being chosen for the GEF General, Henry Wurst and GLGA scholarships. I am deeply honored to receive such generous support from PGSF and those within this industry. These scholarships have truly made a difference in my education journey, and I am incredibly thankful to everyone that was willing to invest in me and my future. Receiving your support has inspired me to work even harder as a student so that I may eventually pay this generosity forward. I will be looking forward to the day when I can support future students in the same way you have chosen to support me.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Packaging Science at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). This program is providing me with valuable skills and insights into sustainable packaging, materials science, and innovation all of which are increasingly important in today’s world. With this scholarship, I will be able to fully dedicate myself to my studies and research without the stress of financial pressure.
I wanted to thank you for the Harold Gegenheimer/Madeline McClure Gegenheimer scholarship. Without it, I would not be able to fully concentrate on my academic goals. As I prepare to begin my graphic design journey at Drexel University, this scholarship has already made a meaningful difference by easing the burden that comes with attending a private school. Your support will allow me to explore internships, study abroad programs, and other opportunities with much less financial stress. I hope to continue to grow both as a designer and student, knowing there are others believing in me and my success. Thank you very much for your support in my college journey!
