Dear Mrs. Koch,  

I greatly appreciate being a recipient of the Richard R. Koch Memorial Scholarship Fund. This scholarship has encouraged me to keep up my hard work as an undergraduate student, as it is paying off.  

I am an out of state student from Houston, Texas majoring in Advertising and Public Relations. I am currently a Social Media Intern at the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, and am also working as a Project Manager at the McMillion Innovation Studio located on campus at the U of A.  

This past summer I was a marketing intern at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.  

Receiving this scholarship will greatly help me and my mother, as a little bit of financial stress has been lifted off our shoulders.  

Again, I greatly appreciate your generosity and thank you for this scholarship.  

Sincerely,  

Jordyn Lassiter
