Thank you for very much for the generous scholarship. It was an honor to receive. I would also like to thank the IMADA organization for all its hard work over the years. The music department would not nearly be the same without it. I would like to let you know that as a student it is greatly appreciated.
2016 Summer Scholarship Recipient To IMADA: Four years ago, I was given an IMADA College Scholarship. In six days I will be graduating from MIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Music. Your generous support assisted with my purchase of a saxophone which I have used regularly as a member of the MIT Jazz Ensemble. Many thanks! 2009 College Scholarship Recipient writes a second thank you to IMADA in 2013! With (our son) being the last of our three children to have graduated from the Ipswich Public School system, we are indebted to all the teachers and members of IMADA for providing the outstanding support that makes the IHS arts program so special. 2013 Parent of College Scholarship Recipient I wanted to thank all the members of IMADA for supporting (my daughter's) passion for the arts and awarding her a scholarship to film school...Aside from the monetary support, being chosen by an organization solely focused on the arts gave her confidence and a nice boost. 2013 Parent of College Scholarship Recipient Thank you so much...for everything that you have done to help put my daughter in a situation to be able to start a college career. I truly believe that everyone's cumulative positive input, small or large, helped to make her grow and become the awesome daughter and student I know her to be. 2013 Parent of College Scholarship Recipient To the members of IMADA, I’m writing to thank you for your generosity in awarding me with a scholarship to use towards my education. I appreciate your recognition of my efforts in the arts programs at IHS, as well as my love for them. I plan to continue playing my violin, signing, painting…and I greatly appreciate all that IMADA does for these programs. Thank you for making my high school experience so full of creativity and art. 2009 College Scholarship Recipient To the IMADA Scholarship committee, thank you so much for your incredibly generous investment in my future...I know that (music) will be part of my life, as it has given me so much in the past. Ipswich is so lucky to have an organization like IMADA that so strongly supports the arts. 2009 College Scholarship Recipient The fine arts program at Ipswich High School has enriched my high school experience and, in fact, has been my inspiration each day at school. I will certainly do my best to represent our art and music programs well. Thank you. 2008 College Scholarship Recipient Thank you so much for choosing me as the recipient of one of your scholarships!... I love the arts program at Ipswich and have no doubt that it has played a major role in my development as a person. And so, at the risk of sounding corny, my real thanks to all of you at IMADA isn't for supporting me with this scholarship; rather, thank you for supporting this wonderful program. 2007 College Scholarship Recipient |
