Featured Recipients and Donors
Thank you messages from scholarship recipient:
“Sincerity, empathy, and compassion embody the face of a
scholarship donor…had it not been for the generosity of people
like you I would not be here at the University of San Diego today.”

“I wanted to thank you for choosing me as this year’s recipient of the Kyle O’Connell scholarship.
After suffering from a terminal illness for my entire life and receiving a bone marrow transplant, I know
firsthand the hardships that Kyle and his family experienced. The medical bills that accompany such an
illness are quite overwhelming and I cannot thank the donors and supporters of this award enough for
assisting my family in the additional financial burden of a college education.”

“Thank you for your generous gift of the Therese Whitcomb ’53 Scholarship.
I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was selected as the recipient of this scholarship…
I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.”
~Summer ’10 MSN
“The support you have provided for me from the scholarship plays such a key
role in my experiences here at USD. Without it, I would be at another university
right now and I doubt I would be able to say such positive things about my experiences
thus far. Thank you once again so very much.”
