A LETTER FROM JOSHUA
Dear Melbourne Village American Homesteading Foundation,
I cannot express how thankful I am since I was awarded the $1,130 dollar scholarship from the AHF. This generous award has helped me pay for many college expenses and has made my transition into the University of Florida much easier. I was very glad to be awarded this scholarship, and also to have provided many community service hours to the town of Melbourne Village and the AHF over the years. Thank you.
