Thank you note from Aryan Jain
“ I was disheartened to learn about your son’s death, knowing he too was a great leader. Hopefully, as I try to carry on his legacy, this scholarship serves as a way to symbolize how far I've come, but also how much I have yet to learn. Continuing my education at NYU, I promise to continue to project my voice and attempt to make a difference in today's unprecedented political and social environment. I would like to thank you for this award and believing that I too can make a change.”

“ I wanted to reach out to you to express my immense gratitude both for your generosity and for believing in my potential to create positive change. Since I received this award, I've taken the time to learn more about your son. I was inspired to learn about Ankit's unwavering dedication towards his community, whether it was by tutoring children in his community or working to rebuild impoverished neighborhoods. Learning that his passion to serve others stemmed from his experiences on the debate team has further empowered me to use the skills I've learned through this activity to challenge the status quo. Ankit's story reminded me of the importance of debate, not only as an extracurricular activity, but also as a space that is critical to fostering the future activists, change-makers, and community members that our society currently needs. As I continue with my education at Barnard College and Columbia University, I hope to use his legacy as a driving force behind the aspirations for my future goals and as a constant reminder to use my platform to uplift those around me. Thank you so much once again for your support!.”
