I am thankful to Jefferies Family Scholarship for giving me the support and tools to succeed at SUNY Cortland and the opportunity to study abroad at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Academically, my grades have vastly improved due to my rigorous study habits and your belief in my ability to succeed.
