There is much to admire about the WMF Scholars. As a group, they possess a passionate commitment to education and service, alongside a cheerful appreciation for our WMF community. This became very clear when just a few months ago when our new scholarship students received notification that they had been accepted as a WMF Scholar. We were deluged with Thank You emails, and very quickly we realized that it was actually we who had much to be thankful for.
With the downturn in the stock market and, thus, WMF’s reserves, it may be an act of lunacy to take on 12 new students. However, when you read these excepts from their notes of appreciation, we hope you will view their addition to our family, not as an act of lunacy, but as an act of faith – give young people a chance, and the money will come.
From Wilson Mwanja: The WMF scholarship has come at a period when I was about to drop out of my medical studies program as I was becoming overwhelmed by the demand of tuition payments. I do promise to study hard and work tirelessly and keep the WMF candle burning. May you be blessed as you serve mankind.
From Wisdom Fiabumor : It is said that a thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but also the parent of all virtues. Knowing you at WMF has made me a better person. I am really excited and I cannot appreciate you enough for giving me the amazing opportunity to walk this path of transformation. It is giving a huge new dimension to my life.
From Juuko Abdu: Full of smiles is Juuko, a new scholar of WMF! I want to extend my special thanks to have been given this chance. So happy to have new people in my life. Thanks so much again!
From Jurugo Roberts Ali : I am extremely happy! This scholarship will really act as my gateway to fulfilling my dreams of alleviating poverty and reducing the AIDS scourge among youth. It is my duty to study hard and become a medical doctor in a few years.
