A very warm thank you to the AGC Scholarship Committee for this great honor! This scholarship will seriously take off some of the financial stress of another year at the University of Washington. The AGC has shown great generosity and support for my education and career, and this gift will not be forgotten as I enter the workforce. Again, I am very grateful for such a great award. It truly means the world to me to receive such support as I shift from field management to the project management side of our Seattle construction industry. I feel like there is no way that a simple thank you can express my total and absolute gratitude for this award. I had a great experience meeting with everyone during the interview and felt very honored that I was given the opportunity. I am truly humbled and appreciative for your help and everyone else that is a part of the Foundation.
