Jeffrey D. Bull
Foundation Merit Scholar
Emory and Henry College

"Thank you for selecting me to receive a $1,000.00 Methodist Scholarship to be used for continuing my education. This award will be a great assistance toward my tuition and expenses at Emory and Henry College.
This coming spring, I will complete my B.A. with a major in Psychology. Following my graduation, I will enter graduate school to become a clinical psychologist. Throughout the years, I promise that I will continue to work extremely hard to make you proud of the Methodist Church's investment in my education! I am so honored to have been awarded Methodist Scholarships throughout my years at Emory & Henry. My family and I greatly appreciate your assistance."
