The Clifford C. Hach Memorial Scholarship has provided me with the excellent opportunity for the advancement of not only my academic career, but my life in general. Through this generous scholarship, I am able to attend the University of Wyoming and take a full academic schedule. I absolutely appreciate the chance to further my education in Chemistry and Microbiology over the next four years.

In addition, the Hach Scholarship further opens the doors to education in graduate school. By assisting in the payment of my undergraduate years, the Hach Scholarship allows me to focus on my studies and increases my chances of academic success. This scholarship will allow me to excel through my years at UW.

The Hach Scientific Foundation Chemistry Teacher Scholarship has helped my academic career immensely. With this scholarship helping pay for a majority of my tuition, I won't need to work while I attend college. Because of this, I will be able to focus on my classes and become the best Chemistry teacher that I can be.

The Hach Scholarship has allowed me to save up money for graduate school while I am studying for my BA/BS. Without the help of this scholarship it would be very about the things that interest me and that will help my career as a teacher.

Receiving this scholarship was a great honor, and was extremely helpful to my family financially. I feel like I was able to take a lot of stress off my parents by receiving this award, and also feel proud to say that I am, in a way, paying for my own education. No family is ever financially prepared for college, and I'm glad that someone found me worthy of their assistance in paying for my higher education. Chemistry has been an interest in my life for the past couple years, and my curiosity in the subject only continues to grow. I look forward to continuing my education in graduate school as I work towards a higher degree in the environmental chemistry field. The help that I am receiving from these scholarships has tremendously encouraged me to pursue this goal, and will continue to do so in the future.

This scholarship is making a difference in my academic career by allowing me to he school of my choosing, and study without significant concerns about paying for tuition or fees. Without this scholarship I would be forced to take out more loans, and work more, which would not only negatively affect my academic performance, but would also take away time from other activities, which really make the college experience great. I really enjoy rock climbing and other outdoor activities, so this scholarship allows me to succeed in school, as well as have time to pursue those activities. I am very thankful for the opportunities this scholarship has provided, and I will use this opportunity to make the most of my education at the University of Wyoming.

This scholarship has meant a lot to me through the first three years of my college career and now means so much more in my fourth year. It means a lot more to me now because I got married over the summer and it is not only helping fund my college expenses but my wife's tuition.

I've really enjoyed having this scholarship over the last four years as it has helped to push me academically. I want to show the Hach family how much I care for the scholarship and I try to do this by working hard and performing well in my classes. I know that my grades and overall enjoyment over these four years has been directly related to the Hach Scholarship.

The Clifford C. Hach Memorial Scholarship has been highly influential in my as a chemistry student at the University of Wyoming. Because my tuition is almost entirely covered by this award, I have not had to work long hours at a job to support myself, and have instead been able to focus all of my efforts on becoming the best student that I can be. This freedom to spend more time studying has led to my 3.8 GPA as well as being named Outstanding Freshman Chemistry Major of the Year. Since receiving this scholarship, the additional support that the Hach Foundation has provided to me has been critical in my career development as well. The Hach Lecture at UW in the fall last year sparked my interest in research early in my first year at the University, and it was at the Hach Banquet in Fort Collins later in the semester, through conversation with professors, that I found out about the Research Experience for Undergraduates that was to take place at UW this summer. I researched in an organic chemistry laboratory for ten weeks and thoroughly enjoyed the challenging environment.

My academic career has improved because I no longer have to be concerned with providing for school in order to continue. I have a choice to work or volunteer depending on my academic schedule. My schedule is much more open to be able to study and effectively learn the material. It allows me to prepare for graduate school by building a resume of good academics and work ethic and experience. Receiving this scholarship has given me extra motivation to better myself and not just settle for mediocre. It has pushed me to accomplish more and prove that I can do anything I put my mind to. I have always wanted to prove that the Hach Scientific Foundation has picked the right person through academics, but also the traits of a good person or scholar. This helps motivate me to strive for what was originally the unobtainable because I do not want to let them, my family, or myself down.
