I could never repay you for all you have done for me and my whole family. You are an angel for us. Thank you for saving all of our futures.
- Parent of Former Worthmore Student
I wanted to tell you that I thank Worthmore for my success. I do work hard and have earned what I have accomplished, but I recognize that if it were not for Worthmore, I might not have even graduated from High School, let alone getting paid to study in Denmark. Worthmore Changed the trajectory of my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
