Thank you so much, I am honored to be awarded for the Nola Cook Scholarship. This scholarship will help as I continue to pursue a career in dentistry. Upon completion of my undergraduate studies, I plan to attend dental school and I would like to provide oral healthcare to my community and educate the younger generation on the importance of oral healthcare. Being able to give back to my community is very important to me and this scholarship will allow me to have the ability to continue to focus and work hard in school, so I can achieve my goals. I appreciate you guys for selecting me for this award and believing in me.
