2024: Receiving this scholar is something that I am incredibly grateful for. It reminds me that there are opportunities for me and that I can possibly do them.

2023: No words can express how surprised and grateful I am for this scholarship. This will be extremely helpful as I am moving into college in fall this year. Going into the Computer Science field, a large portion of my energy will be on advancing my knowledge and programming skills. Because of this scholarship, I can now focus more time on my studies so I can more easily jump into the job of my dreams. I just want to say thank you so much to the Joseph James Morelli Foundation and Joseph’s parents that started this scholarship to reach out to others in Joseph’s situation! With dyslexia it is always nice to have some of the burden taken off our shoulders. I will always remember the kindness and understanding you have shown to me.
