Dear Fort Schuyler Graduate:

I am requesting your consideration and generosity for the Alumni Association's Summer Sea Term Appeal (SST) in support of cadets embarking on cruise.

Each year the FSMAA provides over 100 scholarships to deserving and needy students. The SST is the foundation of the nautical and practical education which makes the Fort Schuyler experience unique. With the implementation of the 90 day cruise for 1st Class cadets, the need for support from us is greater that ever.

The SST is critical to the careers of our cadets and the mission and training of Fort Schuyler. They need our help now. All of the money donated will be designated for 2012 SST cadet scholarships. Details of the SST scholarship program are available on the Association website www.fsmaa.org.

This extraordinary effort will end on April 1st. Please do what you can to demonstrate our support for the cadets who carry the Fort Schuyler tradition forward.

A Donation Form and return envelope are enclosed. Please act now - I assure you that your generosity is deeply appreciated. Since FSMAA is an IRS 501(c) (3) charitable organization, your donation is tax deductible.

Please give generously according to your means. Thank you.

Fraternally,

John Bradley '83
President


Excerpts from Cadet Thank You Notes

I would like to thank you for the Alumni Association's generosity in the receipt of the SST 11' Scholarship

To the Directors of the FSMAA and donors to its SST scholarship award,

 

For awarding all of the students who won this scholarship, I appreciate your generosity, but for being selected as one of them I thank you deeply and personally. Without this scholarship I may not have been able to go on this past summer cruise. All three of my brothers are attending college at the same time and one of them went out on summer sea term as well. Without this money, my parents and I would have struggled to work that out. Thank you. But this isn't a scholarship just for people who need the money, and I understand that and continue to put forward a great effort in maintaining my grades to deserve this gift from you. I can't thank you enough, because there is nothing else I can do in response to your kindness. I appreciate the scholarship greatly and look forward to next year�s cruise.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

To the Directors of the FSMAA:

I would like to thank the Alumni for their generosity of the SST 11' Scholarship. Summer Sea Term allows me to put what I learned in the classroom to use in real life situations. This experience could not be obtained anywhere else, and because of the scholarship I was able to partake. I would like to thank you and the Association from the bottom of my heart for receiving this scholarship and hope that it can continue to help future cadets.

 

 

Dear Sir:

I would like to thank you so much for the scholarship I was provided for this summer�s sea term. Through the generosity of this scholarship I was able to partake in the summer cruise and complete an important component of my education here at Fort Schuyler which without the much needed scholarship I would have unable to do. So once again I thank you so much for your generosity.

 

 

Dear FSMAA:

Through the generosity of the SST scholarship award I was able to partake in the summer cruise and complete an important component of my education at the college.  I am very grateful for being selected as a scholarship recipient, and appreciate what the FSMAA has done for the students.  Without the help of the FSMAA, I do not think I would be able to participate in the Summer Cruises. 

 

I want to thank you again for everything you have done.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

Words cannot express my gratitude towards the SST 2011 scholarship I was awarded. It truly did help my family and I pay for SST. From one Domer to another, thank you.

 

Very Respectfully,

 

 

Dear Prof. Munsch:

Thank you to all the alumni that are part of the FSMAA. I honestly couldn't have done it with out you guys. The experiences on cruise and the people that aided me into expanding my education will never be forgotten. You guys are the people that keep this school going gives the current and graduating students a chance to have amazing opportunities when we become alumni ourselves. I can't wait for my first class cruise this summer. Thank you all very much for the support.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dear Alumni,

For the past two years, I have been a proud recipient of the SST Scholarship. There are no words that can express how grateful I am for your generosity. You have not only helped me complete a major part of my education, but you have also taken an incredible amount of stress off me and my family. Attending Maritime College is challenging and for me, it takes an extreme amount of effort to succeed. But when I get to the end of the semester and find that the Alumni, who have been in my shoes, recognize my hard work, it really helps boost my mentality to keep trying my best. Again, thank you so much for supporting me.

Sincerely,

 

 

Dear FSMAA:

This letter is a thank you letter to all of the alumni that have made this possible. Thank you so much, for giving me the chance to be able to make on the final cruise of my college time. It was a great experience and I learned a lot going on cruise. If I keep on writing there will be one hundred thank you (s) in this letter. Just let me say it one more time, thank you alumni for all you have done, and I look forward to the alumni helping new cadets SST experience.

 

 

 

Dear Association members:

 

I am writing to thank the FSMAA for giving me the ability to continue my education at SUNY MARITIME during the summer of 2011 on the Empire State VI and completing a very important aspect of my education. I'm grateful for the scholarship that was awarded to me and wouldn't have been able to attend if I wasn't granted this. It�s such a privilege to have an organization like this available to us cadets at Maritime. I will be Graduating in Jan and look forward to getting into the industry. Thank you again!

 

 

Very Respectfully,

 

 

I would like to thank you for the opportunity in getting a Summer Sea Term scholarship. It helps a lot and I am very grateful for the generosity you have shown. Maritime is full of tradition and by alumni giving back it helps to keep that tradition strong.

You were very generous with your gift. I had a great experience on cruise. We went to Poland, Ireland, Denmark, Mallorca, and Croatia.

 

 

Thank you for the opportunity to earn this wonderful scholarship for Summer Sea Term 2011. The experience I have found improves with each growing year and I cannot wait to find out where we sail out to next this year. My Uncle and Grandfather are alumni's of the school, so I have a lot of learning to do to fit the shoes they still wear. Thank you again for this Scholarship.
