Dear Five James Foundation Board:

This letter is a request for consideration of the 2022 Five James Foundation Annual Scholarship. I am a 2022 North Allegheny Graduate and have been accepted to Grove City College. I am in my first semester at Grove City College and majoring in Business Management. The work that you are doing with your foundation and how you are helping others in need is an inspiration. After learning about your background and the inception of this foundation, I was inspired to see how you created a mission for God out of the tragedies that happened in your life. I hope that my journey through Grove City College helps me to take action to help others and impact their lives for the better. If I am fortunate to receive this scholarship, I will use these funds to assist in my tuition costs and books for class. Grove City College does not accept Federal Funding, so this scholarship would be of great assistance to manage the costs of my higher education. Thank you for considering my request. Isaac (transcribe of original letter received.)
