Dr. Joshua Lederberg
c/o Stuyvesant Alumi Association

Dear Dr. Lederberg,

It is a great honor for me to have received the
Professor Joshua Lederberg Award from the Stuyvesant Alumni
Association and I would like to take this opportunity to
thank you for making it possible.

I will be attending Harvard University starting this
fall and the award should be most helpful in covering my
college expenses. I hope to concentrate in either
astrophysics or molecular biology at Harvard, then go on to
receive a doctoral degree to become a professional scientist.
I do not know if I will ever be a great researcher or one of
the youngest individuals to have won the Nobel Prize, but I
know that one Stuyvesant alumnus has done it before so I[’11
give it my hardest shot too.

Thanks again for the award. I hope someday I can be as
generous to future Stuyvesant graduates as you have been to
ne.
