 My name is Stephanie Duran and it's an honor to be the recipient of the Alumni and Friends Scholarship. I'd like to thank everyone at San Jose State University, including the faculty, the awards and scholarship committee, and especially like to thank all the donors for the Alumni and Friends Scholarship. Receiving the scholarship means a lot to me and my family. It means that I'll be able to continue my education and realize my dream of one day becoming a librarian. I'm so thrilled that I won this scholarship. I wasn't sure how I was gonna pay for the tuition this coming semester and winning the scholarship means so much to me and my family. So thank you so much for selecting me to be the recipient of the Alumni and Friends Scholarship.
