"I love that SHU makes you feel welcomed as soon as you step onto campus. Being a member of the SHU community has been a great opportunity, for which I am grateful. It is a family, where everyone cares and looks after one another. The faculty members and professors are helpful. As a Media Arts major with a concentration in Journalism, my professional goal is to work for one of the biggest News Networks, and obtain a way of life that will continue to enrich my mind and experiences. As a commuter and part-time worker, I spend most of my days either working or studying. I participate in various community service programs and I truly enjoy seeing people happy. My family has sacrificed so much for me so I can attend college. I would like to give a huge thank you to the donors of the Mary M. Donahue Scholarship. Your scholarship has been a blessing to my family and has made graduating from Sacred Heart possible. Only through my hard work and dedication can I show you how truly grateful I am for your generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"My favorite thing about SHU is the education I am receiving as well as the care that I receive from faculty and students. I want to be an entertainment journalist. I have had experience as the editor for the school paper "The Spectrum," and someday, I hope to be an editor of a magazine or publication. Being on the board for "The Spectrum" has been one of the best experiences I have had at SHU and I only wish I got involved with it earlier. Thank you so much for this scholarship. I appreciate being recognized; this scholarship has helped me pay for books and saving for my future. Thank you so much!"
