Dear MC Sask Community,
 
Thank you all for your generosity and support. I am extremely grateful to be a recipient of the MC Sask Student Education Fund Scholarship. This scholarship not only aids in financing my education, but also reflects the church’s values of investing in the education of young people.
 
I am a 3rd year student at CMU majoring in Psychology and minoring in both Biology and Biblical and Theological Studies. This scholarship allows me to continue my studies at CMU where I can take unique courses such as Psychology and Christianity. I enjoy attending classes and exploring how these seemingly diverse topics are interwoven and in dialogue with each other, (although I do not always enjoy writing papers on these topics).
 
I hope to complete a bachelor’s degree at CMU in the next couple years and your support makes that possible. Thank you!

Peace and blessing,
 Kennedy Martens  ** **
