SCHOLAR TESTIMONIAL
"I just wanted to send an email and thank you, and everyone at GDMF for what you all do and the support provided. I finished my MSOL degree from Johns Hopkins this past December and this foundation was a huge help in covering the high tuition cost. It was an honor to be a GDMF scholar and glad I was able to finish. Looking forward to the future and being able to support the foundation and people who are coming behind me in the future. Once again, thank you so much for the opportunity and support!"
