Takk for alt

Dear Sons of Norway District 5 / Nordic Legacy Foundation and the Fosselyngen Lodge 5-082,

I am writing to express my gratitude for being awarded the District 5 Wittrock scholarship this year.
As you know, I am at McHenry County College, pursuing my Associates Degree. I hope to transfer to a four year university to study Political science and international relations to become a diplomat. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies as well as help cover some of the cost of tuition.  Thank you again for your generosity, I am committed to making the most of this opportunity and
will strive to make a positive impact in my field.
Sincerely,
Clara Solak
