“Thank you so much for selecting me as a recipient of the 2024 Ophelia Foundation Scholarship. As a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast, I am excited to begin my pursuit of higher education towards a career in Athletic Training / Physical Education in the Fall of 2024. This scholarship will play a vital role in allowing me to pursue the school that was the best fit for me, and not have to choose just for financial reasons. I am excited about the education and experience I will receive.”
