• Comments from some of this year's Scholar
  
  "Were it not for the gift of this scholarship, graduating from college would not have been within my reach. Your gift has impacted me greatly, but perhaps the best part is that it has also impacted my family in a huge way.
  
  "Your contribution to my life is invaluable….You have compelled me to get an education and secure a future. One day I shall return the favor, and complement your kindness by providing scholarships and opportunities to others."
  
  
• Comment from Gerald B. Fischer, president and CEO, University of Minnesota Foundation: "The Puckett Scholars program has made a profound difference in the lives of young people. To date, these scholarships have changed the lives of 45 students, and over time, the program will help hundreds more. Because the Puckett Scholars program was set up as an endowment, it will forever be helping young people achieve a college education. What a legacy."
