"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to think about going abroad. I've been interested in studying abroad since before my ALT at school told me about the scholarship. However, I hadn't tried to 'go' because I didn't have the money. This offer completely changed my future. Going abroad became realistic and I started to think about it specifically."
