I am a senior at University of Debrecen,

1 am majoring in Software Design and Programming Mathematics. I will graduate as a Master of Software Design and Programming Mathematics, and I will continue on towards my Ph.D. I have affiliated with the local Church of Petnehaza since my birth and my family has a very deep roots in the church.

I have been to the United States twice, once when I was a child and the other time in 2001 . My aunt Sara Nagy and my uncle in-law Tibor Nagy invited me to visit the country. We went to Washington to see the Kossuth House as well as other places of interest. It was a really nice place and I was glad to see how the Hungarian Americans hang together. We went to church where I met a lot of nice people who set a good example. I also came to know many interesting things from Fraternity the official publication of HRFA.

In closing I would like to thank the HRFA for the scholarship to help my education. I would also like to thank Mrs. Sara Nagy, Branch Manager, for recommending me for the Student Aid scholarship.

Robert was recommended by Branch Manager Sara Nagy.
