Dear Henry C. Lord Scholarship Committee,
It is with the utmost gratitude that I write you this letter. The generosity and unwavering support that you have shown me propels me as I continue on this journey of study to become a conductor. In a time when I often have to justify my pursuit of a career in the arts, you have chosen to invest in me — not once but twice. Knowing and cherishing this fact inspires me; it pushes me to work harder, to create music more deeply, to dive into the art more passionately. As a conductor, I have the opportunity to be a leader, to be someone who unites, but it is not always easy. Receiving this scholarship from you, however, gives me strength and helps me feel worthy of this responsibility. I am eternally grateful.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for making this course of study a reality.
Emily Eng
