"I am truly honored to be a recipient of the 2026 Florida Ground Water Association John Kriska Memorial Scholarship. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and because of your support, I am able to focus on my academic opportunities and goals I have ahead of me.

This scholarship will remind me of everything I learned and carry these attributes with me throughout my future. Thank you for investing in my education and believing in my potential. I am sincerely grateful for your support and will carry this opportunity with me as I continue my journey."
