Dear Members of the NUC Scholarship Committee,


I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your awarding me the 2021 Bishop Francis Bonczak Scholarship! Your


generosity and support is humbling and comforting in a time of uncertainty, transition, and profound learning.  Your support of


my musical training through the years has elevated my overall musicianship to a new level it would never have reached


otherwise.  You have helped me not just build technical proficiency on my instruments - but learn how to apply my


musicianship in a way that helps so many people in need.  Music is one of the most profound gifts we are graced with in our


humanity, and throughout my life I have seen music as a gift from God.  In my music therapy practice so far, I have already


witnessed so many powerful examples of music being a part of someone's healing.  Thank you for all your support  - not just


for me and my surrounding community, but for all of us who continue to engage in music-rooted ministry.  Warmly, R.Q.
