Alton

2023 Winner of Eleanor Hansell Memorial Scholarship

I am profoundly moved as I pen down these words of appreciation to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable support you have extended through funding my tuition for the Fall 2023 Semester. Your collective act of kindness has made an indelible impact on my life, and I am beyond thankful for this opportunity. With the help of your generous contributions, I will now be able to pursue my studies at the esteemed Southern Alberta of Technology without any hassles. Currently, I recently completed the second semester of my Chemical Engineering course at SAIT. Unfortunately, financial constraints were threatening to hinder my progress into the third semester. However, your timely and generous assistance has ensured that I can confidently continue my educational journey without any hindrance.

Jordan

2023 Winner of the Norman J. Lawrence Memorial Scholarship

As you probably saw, I was elated to find out that I would be a recipient of this scholarship. I’m honored to know that I was chosen, especially as I did not attend St. George’s college like your father. What we do have in common, however, is belief in the importance of giving back. With that, I hope that through my actions during University and after, I will properly honor Norman J. Lawrence. Once again, I thank you for your support.

Asher

2023 Winner of the Lynne Mitchell Foundation Aspire Scholarship

I just want to express my sincere gratitude to the donors of this foundation for selecting me as a recipient of the Lynne Mitchell Foundation scholarship. I am immensely grateful for the financial support that this will provide. Without this scholarship, I would not be able to fully cover my university expenses and ultimately pursue my dream of becoming a software engineer. This has truly motivated me to work harder and strive for success. Thank you for seeing the great potential within me.

Chrisanne

2023 Winner of the Lynne Mitchell Memorial Scholarship

I want you to know that I fully recognize that this scholarship would not have been possible without the kindness and generosity of individuals like yourself. Your unwavering dedication towards empowering students through education is truly admirable. It is my hope that one day I will have the privilege of paying it forward and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others just as you have done for me. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks for this generous scholarship opportunity. Your support has not only lightened my financial burden but also fueled my determination to succeed. I will forever be grateful for your belief in my potential and for helping me make my dreams a reality. Thank you, once again, for your extraordinary generosity and for investing in my future. May your kindness continue to touch the lives of countless others, just as it has touched mine.

Again, I would like to thank you for helping to aid my academic journey and investing in my future career path. I promise to make the best use of this scholarship and make the foundation proud by striving for excellence in all that I do.

I am writing this letter to you to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible honor of being awarded the Sylvia Gordon Memorial Scholarship. I am elated that you decided to invest in my future considering I know how important it is to you. Your compassion and faith in my ability will have an eternal influence on my life, and I am appreciative for the chance this scholarship offers.

Dwayne

2023 Winner of the Norman J. Lawrence Memorial Scholarship

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the Norman Joseph Lawrence Scholarship that I have been awarded. Your generous contribution has not only relieved a significant financial burden but also reaffirmed my belief in the power of education and the kindness of individuals like you. Receiving this scholarship has been an absolute honor for me, and I am truly humbled by your belief in my potential and aspirations. Your support has made it possible for me to pursue my dreams and strive for academic excellence without worrying about the financial constraints that often come with higher education. I cannot adequately express the depth of my appreciation for the opportunities this scholarship has afforded me. It has opened doors that would have otherwise remained closed and has provided me with the resources necessary to fully engage in my chosen field of study.

Serena

2023 Winner of the Rama H. Rawal Memorial Scholarship

I am honoured, grateful, and elated to have been chosen as the recipient of the Rama H. Rawal Memorial Scholarship. I want to express my utmost gratitude. This scholarship will no doubt aid in making my dream possible. Wanting to pursue a career in Animal or Veterinary Science has not been an easy road, and I know it will never be. I have been told countless times to do something else, but I resist giving up. I will continue to work towards what I want to achieve. I will believe and continue to have faith. I was on the edge of thinking that all my efforts this year were in vain, as I have been applying for scholarships and emailing schools and have not received any good news. But this scholarship has reminded me that there is hope; all I have to do is keep on trying. Working with animals for the little time I did had been the most fulfilling part of my life; it was like I wasn't even working. After this phase of my life, I ventured into other things, thinking they could help me acquire funds to push me closer to making my dream a possibility. However, none has been as fulfilling as my time at the Animal Shelter. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have been selected as a recipient. This shows me that there are people out there who believe in me and see my goals as realistic. This scholarship does not only grant monetary support to scholars but also hope. Thank you for spreading hope through your contributions to the education of myself and others.

Trishelle

2023 Winner of the Lynne Mitchell Memorial Scholarship

Ever since my acceptance into the University of the West Indies to study Law, I was unaware on how I would fund this Journey. However, when I learned that I was selected to be a recipient of this prestigious scholarship, the dream of mine to become a lawyer seemed much more attainable. Your belief in my ability to do well and your willingness to invest in my education has moved me in tremendous ways. To know that you chose me out of several other candidates is truly an honour and it warms my heart to know that you believe in me and my potential. Additionally, I am inspired to one-day give back to society in a similar format. Thank you for this opportunity to fund my tertiary education. This generosity will not be forgotten and I intend to make you proud by continuing to excel immensely.

Sashaunna

2023 Winner of the Lynne Mitchell Foundation Aspire Scholarship

Receiving this scholarship is a major financial blessing. Your belief in my potential and support in funding my education means the world to me. This scholarship will significantly alleviate the financial burden of pursuing my educational goals, allowing me to focus on my studies and excel academically. I am genuinely grateful for the opportunities this scholarship will provide, as it will open doors for me to explore new horizons, broaden my knowledge, and contribute positively to society. Your investment in my education has inspired me to strive for excellence and has reinforced my determination to make a meaningful impact in my chosen field.

Yaneque

Hampton High School, Malvern, Jamaica

I am grateful for the financial support that I've received from the Lynne Mitchell Foundation, but I am most grateful for the emotional support and the inspiration I have received. Thanks to the Foundation, I am continuously reminded that someone believes in me and is investing in my dreams and that gives me the strength to go on. The Foundation not only seeks for me to succeed academically but also for me to be the best version of myself - and for that I am grateful. During the challenging time of the Covid-19 pandemic, I could reach out to the Lynne Mitchell Foundation for emotional support and mentorship - and for that I am grateful. Because of all the support I have been given, I am inspired to some day help children with great potential who are in need - taking a page out of the Lynne Mitchell Foundation's book. Thank you for showing me that kind words of encouragement can go a far way. Thank you for not judging my book by its cover and investing in my potential to be one of the best books on the shelves.

Joneil

Bethlehem Moravian College, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica

I am grateful for the amount of students' lives that have been impacted by the help of this Foundation and I am glad to be one of them.

Brianna

The University of Technology, Kingston, Jamaica

I am most grateful for the continuous support(not only financially but emotionally and mentally as well) from the Lynne Mitchell Foundation. The Lynne Mitchell Foundation has assisted financially throughout high school and now at the University of Technology as I pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. With the Foundation grant, I am able to pay my tuition. Without this scholarship, I would not be able to pursue my career dream. I will continue to work hard to make the Foundation, my family and last but not least myself proud.

Shemarie

University of the Ozarks, Clarksville, Arkansas

I am grateful to the Lynne Mitchell Foundation for the many years they have supported by academic journey.

Ashaylia

I am grateful for the financial aid and the motivation that this Foundation provides me. Grateful for the day the Lynne Mitchell Foundation was created. Grateful for the day the Foundation selected me as one of the first scholarship recipients over 8 years ago. Grateful for everyone who is a part of the Foundation. Grateful for it all.

Tianna

St Elizabeth Technical High, Santa Cruz, Jamaica

I am grateful to the Lynne Mitchell Foundation for providing opportunities and helping me get through my school years without much financial problems. It takes the burden off my parents shoulders when it’s time to go back to school .

Jhenelle

St Elizabeth Technical High School, Santa Cruz, Jamaica

I am grateful for the unconditional love and support I receive from the Lynne Mitchell Foundation. I really appreciate the help. With the help of the Foundation I was able to graduate from 5th Form. I look forward to continued help from the Foundation as I continue to pursue my dream to attend college and one day become a lawyer.

Adrianna

Hampton High School, Malvern, Jamaica

I am grateful for the love and support that I have received from the Foundation and they also feel like family. My experience growing up was always challenging due to the level of poverty within my country and therefore affecting my family, the scholarship has been very beneficial. Having grown with a single parent family, the difficulties and challenges that I have experienced would have been continuous if it wasn’t for the excellent support from the Lynne Mitchell Foundation. I have been given tremendous support for transportation, lunch, books, laptop, school fees and also personal assistant through this scholarship. I am so proud to have graduated 5th Form and look forward to pursuing my career dreams to become a medical doctor specializing in radiology, with the help of the Foundation.

Tiffany

St. Elizabeth Technical High School, Santa Cruz, Jamaica

I most grateful for the help that I received from the Lynne Mitchell Foundation for the past 5 years because it has helped me tremendously with going to to school to get a proper education.

Abaigeal

Hampton High School, Malvern, Jamaica

The Lynne Mitchell Foundation has helped me in so many ways. They have helped me with my school fees, bus fees and even as much as to get a laptop to make online school easier. I am most grateful that the Lynne Mitchell Foundation puts out the effort each and every year to provide the necessary funds to send me to school and lessen the financial load on my parents. I am indeed grateful for all their help and support.

Natanya

St.Elizabeth Technical High School, Santa Cruz, Jamaica

I am grateful that in this time of need the Foundation is able to provide for my educational needs. The scholarship grant helps me tremendously because it affords me the privilege to attend school without the added burden of worrying how the transportation, school and lunch fees will be paid. This grant gives me the peace of mind that I need to focus on school.

Kayla

Black River High School, Black River, Jamaica

I am grateful for the Lynne Mitchell Foundation scholarship. It helps me to buy my textbooks, pay my school fees, buy my school uniforms and shoes to go back to school.

Tracian

Hampton High School, Malvern, Jamaica

I have benefited from the Foundation Back to School Drive when they distributed back packs and school supplies such as pencils, pen, rulers, books etc. For this I was extremely grateful, because this took some pressure off my father. The scholarship helps me to pay my school fee and purchase my text books. My father, who is the sole breadwinner for my family is a minimum wage worker. I have four other siblings who also depend on him for support and it has been a really difficult task. The Foundation has been a great help to us.

Malika

St. Elizabeth Technical High School, Santa Cruz, Jamaica

I am grateful that they make the sacrifice to provide funds to those in need.

Ashanique

Northern Caribbean University (NCU), Mandeville, Jamaica

I am immensely grateful for the financial support. The kindness extended to me by the Foundation allows me to fulfill my dreams. In addition, I am grateful for the mental support. The Foundation encourages me to work smart and hard. Thank you so much for having faith in me. The Lynne Mitchell Foundation has been supporting my studies from the beginning of secondary school. Without the foundation, my school journey would have been a very difficult and probably impossible one. Since I started university the Foundation has been covering the cost of my off-campus housing. This helped to ease the pressure off me so I could focus more on school. Without this scholarship, I would not have been able to afford housing at University and would have been unable to continue my studies. Thanks to the Lynne Mitchell Foundation, I am now a University graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Management Studies with an emphasis in Tourism and Hospitality Management. I am so grateful for all that the foundation has done for me.

Kerriann

St.Elizabeth Technical High School, Santa Cruz, Jamaica

I am most grateful that the Lynne Mitchell Foundation saw the potential in me and gave me a push to work harder. And I’m grateful for everything they have helped me with because if it was just for my mother to do everything, I would not be able to make it through a whole school year.

Ashley

Centennial College, Toronto, Ontario

I would not be able to continue to attend college without the assistance of the Lynne Mitchell Foundation. Without their help, my dream of working in the aerospace industry would be crushed.
