Dear Anchor Scholarship and General Dynamics NASSCO Donors,

“I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your generous funding of the Anchor Scholarship Foundation Scholarship. It means so much to me to have been selected.

I am continuing to pursue my Bachelor of Science at Purdue University, and I am so glad the Foundation has granted me the opportunity to focus on my studies. This scholarship takes away a huge financial burden from my time at Purdue, allowing me to spend my time learning everything I can.

I hope to continue my pursuit of knowledge throughout my final years of college, but I am glad that the Anchor Foundation will be with me through my first two years of education. Again, I am immensely grateful to be a recipient of this scholarship.” ~Shannon
