I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for making the Orange County Wine Society Scholarship possible. I was thrilled to learn of my selection for this honor and I am deeply appreciative of your support. I am currently majoring in Wine and Viticulture with hopes of becoming a valuable member of the wine industry after my graduation this upcoming spring.

Thank you again for your generosity and support. I promise I will work very hard and eventually give something back to others, possibly a scholarship to future students like myself.
