Gratitude from Scholarship Recipients
Cedric Henry '24
“This scholarship means that I'm allowed to go to my dream college without having to worry about how I'll pay full tuition and this means I'll be the first in my family to attend an American college and be the first to graduate. I would like to say thank you for acknowledging and accepting my hard work and efforts. As a black man sometimes it's hard to see the end goal and what your efforts will do to help because people belittle you, they don't see you as more than your skin color and they want to see you fail. Knowing that someone out there is watching over me and helping me become a better me and a successful person is reassuring and it shows that my work wasn't a waste.”

"I do not know where I would be in my life right now had I not applied to Stonehill, nor would I know where I would be had I not been granted scholarship support. The last year at Stonehill has been one of the best of my life, for I've taken incredible classes that have encouraged and inspired me. I have also gotten the opportunity to live in a completely different environment because I moved so far away from home, which I believe has positively impacted my self-confidence, independence, and perseverance. Overall, scholarship support at Stonehill has given me the opportunity of a lifetime, for which I am forever grateful."
Britney Savage '23
“To my family and me, scholarship support means so much. We truly believe that because we benefit from this award, we know that we are being looked after and are supported in a place that we never thought could be. We are so grateful Stonehill has given me this opportunity to live on campus and be a part of such a loving community. Receiving the May Family Scholarship is a blessing to us, and we are so grateful for it. If it weren't for this scholarship, I honestly, don't know if I would be where I am today. I constantly push through the adversities I face, whether that be academically or financially. My family and I send so much appreciation to the May Family!"

"Receiving this scholarship was a life-changing opportunity for me, as it made pursuing a college education a reality. After graduating from Stonehill College, my plan is to attend nursing school. My ultimate goal is to be a nurse working in the operating room. I always had a passion and desire to work in the medical field because I carry a heart that is designed to help individuals in every way I can."
William Duff '23
“Scholarship support means so much to me for many reasons. Many of my family members attended Stonehill before me, including my father, brother, uncles, and aunts. Receiving a scholarship for my hard work really feels like I am making them proud, and continuing the hard work that they put in at Stonehill. I cannot explain how much I appreciate my scholarship support, because it makes me feel that I am balancing my life between schoolwork and sports very well.”
Sophia Gamble '24
“I want to express my gratitude toward my benefactor for providing me the funds I received from my scholarship. When I was notified that I received this scholarship, I felt overjoyed and honored. This scholarship assisted in fulfilling my dream of attending college to study my intended career field within psychology, while also continuing to explore who I am as a person and continue to grow. As a first-generation college student, I want to continue to make my family and community proud of me as I begin my future endeavors in college and beyond. Essentially, receiving this scholarship means so much to me, and I will persist in focusing on my academics for my future career and continue to positively shape my character to become a better person within my community and the world."
