Dallas Post Foundation Scholarships
Testimonial from past recipient:
Dear Society of American Military Engineers Dallas Chapter,
I’d like to again thank you for the scholarship money that is affording me to attend one of the nation’s top cybersecurity colleges – Purdue University. The purpose of this letter is to let you know how my first year went. Below is a list of the courses I completed, and I have separated the cybersecurity specific ones.
I completed my freshman year with a 4.0 GPA; and, because of my high school AP classes I already have 71 credits out of the 120 needed and am 59% done with my cybersecurity degree.
Since we last spoke, I have decided to pursue a second major in Computer and Information Networking Technology; however I am still on a 4-year course plan for completing both degrees.
Although I have not entered the professional workforce yet, I do appreciate the value of money, and am grateful for the generosity your members show in giving these scholarships. I hope the success in my freshman year shows that I worked hard and put your money to good use.
Kindest Regards,
Bryan Chew
