Thank You Alumni Association!

I want to thank the Alummi Association for giving me the Bookstore Scholarship!

This is my first year at the University of New Mexico. So far the school has been amazing and the programs like the Alumni Association have been so supportive. Going to the bookstore for the first time and purchasing my first set of book was exciting but also worrisome. Having organizations like the Alummi Association reminds me that there are people who are looking out for students like me in college.

Erin AtencioBefore school started I found out that a scholarship I was depending on was going to be cut in half. I was very worried about what I was going to do but a few days later I received an email from the Alummi Association saying they were giving me a scholarship. The news of this unexpected scholarship made me over joyed and I knew that God was watching out for me.

Thank you again for giving me this scholarship,
--Erin Atencio
