Dear Oasis International Scholarship Committee, 


I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible honor of receiving the scholarship from Oasis International. Your support means the world to me, and I want to thank you for the opportunities and encouragement you've provided throughout the years. 


Receiving this scholarship is a tremendous relief, as it eases the financial stress associated with pursuing my education. Your generosity not only helps me with the costs of school but also allows me to stay focused on my studies without the constant worry about finances. This is especially important as I prepare to enter nursing school, and I am truly grateful for the support. 


I want to assure you that this scholarship is more than just financial aid for me; it is a source of inspiration and motivation. Your belief in my potential encourages me to strive for success in my academic endeavors and in giving back to the community. As I embark on my journey in nursing, I am committed to making a positive impact and contributing to the well-being of others. 


Additionally, I am excited about the prospect of staying involved in programs and events hosted by Oasis International. Your commitment to community engagement is inspiring, and I look forward to participating actively. By staying connected, I hope to learn, grow, and eventually give back to others in the same way you have supported me. 


Once again, thank you for this incredible scholarship. I am truly grateful for the opportunities it provides and the belief you have in my abilities. I am eager to make the most of this support as I transition into the next phase of my academic and personal journey. 


Sincerely, 

Fatima Shode
