To Mr. Johnson and the UH Foundation:

Thank you for funding study abroad students like me through the Johnson Study Abroad Scholarship! This scholarship will signficantly aid me as I continue my journey of personal, academic, and professional growth. I have already made connections with people that I would not have met otherwise if I simply stayed in Hawaii. Hawaii will always be my home, but this experience has allowed me to become more independent and encouraged me to expose myself to new challenges and opportunities.

 

To my parents in particular:

Thank you to my parents for supporting me through this entire process. I greatly appreciate your continued assistance and healthy amounts of encouragement to start planning my housing, visa, and miscellaneous applications far in advance.
