Thank you, International Marriott Scholarship

I had the honour of attending the Donor and Scholar Reception at Pillars Restaurant, University of West London.

I met incredible students from across different courses, so happy and so inspiring. The atmosphere was filled with smiles and meaningful conversations. Seeing the donors meet the scholars they support was priceless. I truly respect and admire their generosity.

Thank you to Paulo, Giovanni, Sabina, Dominic, Laura, Sandra and the entire kitchen and front-of-house team for delivering such an amazing experience.

Special thanks to Neelam, Nicola and the Donor Relations Officer team for selecting me and inviting me to this important event. Your efforts create lasting impact.

We were also treated to a beautiful live music performance by Mona Blackman Scholarship winner ShuHan Jiang, who played Liszt’s Études d’exécution transcendante No. 5. She is incredibly talented and a truly lovely person. Her performance brought elegance, emotion and magic to the evening.

A heartfelt thank you to the International Marriott Scholarship. Although I didn’t have the chance to meet you in person as you are based in the USA, I want you to know how honoured, happy and deeply grateful I am. Being selected for this scholarship has been a truly life-changing opportunity. Your support gives students like me the confidence and means to dream bigger and do better

Thank you to the University of West London, all the donors, and my fellow scholars. This scholarship has not only impacted our education but also empowered our futures

As our Vice Chancellor and President said:

“It is a blessing to help, it is a curse to do it. But they choose to give.”

And because they chose to give, I feel inspired to give back one day too.
