I was always taught that I must work hard for everything I receive, I believe now is the time to show all I have worked for. At Gulf Coast I plan to obtain my Associate degree in Dental Hygiene. I am assiduous for this scholarship because during my years of high school I have worked hard not only in the classroom but at my job, sports, and clubs as well. Coming into high school as a Freshman I
It fills me with great pride to say that I have finished my first semester of college--with a 3.5 GPA nonetheless--due to your continued generosity. Your donation to this fund has drastically improved my college experience because a large weight has been lifted off my shoulders. As a student who does not receive Federal Aid, paying for college seemed like far-fetched dream. Being able to say that I have completed my first semester of college is not as far-fetched as I once thought. Thank you for making this dream a reality.
As upcoming high school seniors, many such as myself, desire scholarships in order to alleviate the financial burden that attending a university can bring. Though this considerable and generous scholarship prize money will be used to further my education at Texas A&M University, my main wish is to bring pride and satisfaction to my family. As a first generation student, I am humbled by the opportunity of obtaining an education in America. Since my parents were migrants from Vietnam and Hong Kong, a successful life here was unheard of many years before. Financial strains do occasionally plague our lives, however, we have not forgotten the strenuous hard work and sacrifice that my parents have conquered in order to put their two daughters through
Apart from my financial need, I believe I deserve this scholarship as I am very determined. Determined to not only continue my education and pursue my dream but to do so with as little debt. This past year, I have been
Being an immigrant and coming from a poor family, money has always been an issue in my life. Barely having the money to pay for the rent and bills each month, it makes life very complicated and frustrating for my family. I’m writing this statement to you because I’m afraid I will not have enough money to cover for my tuition as I enroll in Hamline University this fall. With the lack of money, it means that I would have to take a lot of loans which I don’t want to do because I don’t want to work the rest of my life just trying to pay off my loan debt. I desperately need your help because if I don’t go to college this year, I will have to wait another semester again.
I am currently a sophomore undergraduate Marketing major and Digital Studies minor. If I receive the scholarship the financial contributions NSCS has provided will be of great assistance in paying my educational expenses. I plan to study aboard in Spain over the summer to study Spanish and International Business. With help from the generous scholarship, I will be one step closer to achieving my educational and career goals. I believe I deserve to earn the scholarship because my involvement at the University of Mary Washington depicts my dedication and persistence in giving back to the school and the community while putting my education to good use. One way in which I am using my education to enrich my time at UMW is through my work with Community Outreach and Resources. My time at COAR has given me a deep appreciation for how volunteerism
College has been a significant goal in my life after both of my brothers didn’t either go or finish college. As the youngest granddaughter in my family, I am the final opportunity for a complete educational track and successful career after. A scholarship will not only assist me in focusing more on my education than the need for the money to pay for my tuition and books, it will push me further towards completing my degrees and my pursuit of one day having a successful career. This scholarship is what I need to achieve my goals and make my education worth it for the
Last year I had the tremendous opportunity to receive the O’Brate Scholarship and it has indubitably influenced my college experience for the better. Let me tell you, college courses are a completely different ball game than those given at high school: with that being said, no longer was just going to class and listening to the instructor enough to get an A in the class. It required me to approach this new study regime with a more methodical and effective form of work and study. Practice and time has proven key to succeeding in the college world, but it doesn’t and shouldn’t take away the significance of being financially covered and stable throughout the year. The O’Brate Scholarship has been a pivotal component into making my college transition
I take this time to express appreciation for the $500 scholarship that has been given for my to pursue a higher education. With both parents being 1st generation college graduates receiving their bachelors degree with having to providing for four children I saw them as the ultimate example of knowing the importance of going to college. Being the oldest child they wanted to instill the importance of continuing on to college. With being apart of a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I was taught the importance of staying out of debt hence the reason I applied for this scholarship. I
Last year around this time of year, I was devastated when I found out I could not attend my first choice school, the University of Delaware. This was not because I had not been accepted, but because it was far too expensive. This is when I realized how important scholarships, like the Malcom Wesley Myers and Anna Geary Myers Scholarship are.
As my senior year comes around, it has become more real to me that I have to take charge of my future. I deserve and need this scholarship just as I need oxygen to breathe. Being the first in my family to attend college or even have the idea in their head means I’m on my own to discover what to do to get into college and how to come up with the means. I
At this point of my life, any financial support will be appreciated because I do not get enough financial aid to pay for my tuition and my books. As a AB540 student, I do not get enough support from the financial aid department at San Jose State University. As a result, a 3,000 scholarship for my education will help me a help me a lot to pay for my school tuition, which is $ 4,000 for 5 classes that I take each semester. The $ 3,000 scholarships will help me breathe for a little bit because I am always stressed out about my financial situation, which limits me from buying the require textbooks for some of my classes. I must say that in some occasion, I do not buy the require textbooks for my classes because they are so expensive and I do not
Plan scholarship because as a high school junior at Christopher Columbus HS, I commit to take advantage of the life changing opportunity the scholarship will offer me. Along with being a student who works hard to maintain an excellent transcript, I also sustain numerous amounts of community service hours which are dedicated to giving back to my community. Throughout my high school years I have maintained an excellent GPA and plan on improving it during my remaining years. I am currently playing soccer for Pinecrest S.C. U18 in the FSPL and have had the honor of being selected to play in the A team for the past four years even after suffering a torn
Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.
