2016 Scholarship Award, University of Delaware, Fall 2016
"I am so thankful to the Clyne Family and the Board Members for selecting me as the recipient for the Gregg F. Clyne Memorial Foundation Scholarship. This scholarship has helped me and my family greatly to pay for my education to attend such a beautiful school. However, becoming a part of this scholarship is more than money, but also about family, friends and support. The Clynes are such a loving and caring family and have helped me cope with loss myself. And each year when we get together for a fun thoughful dinner to announce the new recipient, I have met some of the kindest most amazing people also attending the University of Delaware. After learning about Gregg, he has served as a role model to me to work hard in my classes and spread kindness everywhere and anywhere I go. I am certain that with the new recipient Erin, and with others to come, that the lessons I have learned from the Clynes and Gregg's memory will go on."

While I never met Gregg, I feel a connection to him from hearing the stories his family shares and just learning about what an amazing, strong person he was. The Gregg F. Clyne Memorial Foundation isn’t just a Foundation, it is a family. Family is something that is really close to my heart and the Clynes, Brittany and Kaitlyn have become like a second family.

This upcoming year will be my senior year, and although my time remaining at Delaware is short, I know that the lessons I have learned and the connections I have made with the Clynes, Brittany, Emily, and Caroline will continue on long after I graduate." |
