I am incredibly grateful that I was chosen to be a recipient of the Freeman Scholarship, which will enable me to embark on an opportunity that will aid my academic and professional journey. At KUBS, an AACSB-accredited School of Business, I will be able to learn business concepts in greater depth and understand the implications of Asian and other international forces in the realm of business; therefore, I am confident that such an international experience will launch me closer to my goal of becoming a business leader in Hawaii who can advance the needs of her community. Because I am a full-time student who works part-time in order to help my parents financially, your travel award will greatly alleviate my financial burden and enable me to study abroad--an opportunity I otherwise would not have taken.
Once again, I thank you for the immense support you have given me. Due to the Freeman Scholarship, I am one step closer to realizing and achieving my professional goals. Through your example of supporting students at Shidler, I also feel inspired to serve my community and help individuals like me in the future.
