"Dear Urban Spirit Foundation;

Thank you very much for the scholarship received from your organization. I plan to use the scholarship money to help pay for tuition and other related expenses when I attend the Aboriginal Studies Program at Langara College in the fall of 2013. The help of this scholarship will be less of a financial burden that will allow me to focus on my academics.

After my two years at Langara College my long-term educational goal is to become an Alternative School Program Teacher. I plan on pursuing my degree either at Simon Fraser University or the University of British Columbia.

Again I would like to thank you for the scholarship and for supporting me in my Post-Secondary pursuits."
