College: Achieving Educational Goals

Receiving this scholarship will boost my self-esteem knowing that I was responsible for creating a foundation that brings me closer to my career goal. This scholarship will also reduce my stress over the tuition cost. It will also eases my burden of the future student

Ever since I was young, I was exposed to a Historically Black College or University, Jackson State University. I had always went to activities and functions such as football games, summer programs, and other special events. I did not know whether I would attend a historically Black College or University (HBCU) or not at the time. I had finally decided to go to a HBCU, and I would attend Tougaloo College in the fall to further my education. I have many goals and objectives for pursing my educational experience at a historically Black College, and I plan to achieve them.

The impact of a scholarship varies from person to person, and no matter the amount it does make a significant difference in the student’s life. For me, being granted a scholarship would be a first step towards achieving my personal goal of earning my Bachelor’s in nursing. My father died when I was 16, and since then my only financial support has been my mother. I have tried to avoid going into debt to the best of my ability by using money I already have, but I know that as I want to further my education to get my Master’s and become a nurse anesthetist I will have to take out loans.

To begin, I would like to express my passion for pursuing a college career. Since I was very young, one of my top goals has always been to have a job that I enjoyed going to everyday. Furthermore, when I started high school I knew I had to commence working towards that goal. Consequently, I had no idea of what kind of job or career I would enjoy, this in turn made me slack off, and not care much about my first two years of high school. Eventually, I took an automotive class at the technical careers high school, and as a result, I knew I wanted to work with cars everyday. Moreover, I took an opportunity that has changed the course of my life drastically. henceforth, I have read and researched many colleges and their programs, and BYU-I stood

When the challenge of beginning college presented itself, I had no goals in mind. When you’re 18 and have a high school diploma in your hand, people tend to see you as a piece of molding clay. Your friends and family can’t resist telling you what you should do and how you should do it. They also never fail to pile on the questions. Not having the answers to such seemingly simple questions like, “What do you want to be?” “Where do you want to go?” “How are you going to do it?” can make a young, ambitious person question herself. But the reality was, I just did not know yet. I considered becoming a business manager, a dental hygienist, an accountant, a nurse. Originally, I thought not having a solid plan meant I wasn’t prepared for college. However, I discovered that no matter what students aspire to pursue during their postsecondary education, everyone must complete General Education Requirements, so that is where I began my journey.

A short-term goal I've set for myself is getting accepted into my first choice college: Colorado University of Boulder. During my junior year, I was following my cousin around to colleges that she was interested in. I went along with her to visit Colorado University of Boulder and from that moment on I knew that I wanted to go there. I can finally say that I got accepted and couldn't be happier to check off one of my goals on my list. Nonetheless, I’ve worked strenuously in school to maintain an average GPA of 3.76, plus taking rigorous courses, which accumulates to a GPA of 3.92. I retook my ACT a couple of times in hopes to receive a 28 or higher for scholarships from Boulder and other places. I am currently trying to accomplish that goal by

As a student at IUPUI i would like to accomplish a goal of obtaining a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Another goal of mine is to be involved in clubs to meet people with similar interests. I am an outstanding individual and self motivated student and expect to continue to do so in college. My academic goals as a student have and will always be to achieve the best grades that I can possibly obtain. I am an intelligent student and learn the best by being around intelligent students, I also like helping people learn and grow academically. My last goal that I want to achieve while attending college is to obtain a internship in my future career field in order to obtain more knowledge in my field.

When I want something, I work hard to earn it. I believe I should receive this scholarship because of my drive for success and knowledge. I am a hardworking individual and I have a great thirst for knowledge. I am also a firm believer that knowledge is power. I want to gain the credentials that will back up my knowledge someday. I will do anything and everything I am able to put my mind to in order to remain successful. With an education, one can put his or her mind to anything he or she wants.

With the education I plan on pursuing, mechanical designing is a major part of mechanical engineering. Learning and creating designs for machine parts will help build my knowledge, experience and appreciation for the parts that people have spent their time and efforts to create. After, completing college I plan on entering into a career that is surrounded in mechanical designing, for either a small automotive car company or a factory that designs part for machines. Then build my experience in hopes of working in a bigger and more profound company like Buick. These are my goals in attending college, and I know they will only remain goals unless I put time and effort in the classroom, as well as outside school to make those goals into

Many students are unaware of the benefits of good study skills and effective preparation. The first thing you should recognize is the benefit of having good study habits. Students who practice good study habits are generally more successful and have better grades. Understanding the skills required for courses and remembering what you are here for will keep you motivated. I will give a few suggestions on how to develop study skills for those who haven’t had to understand the comprehensive course structure of college.

For the next several years, I have set different goals for myself. I have set educational goals for high school and college, professional goals for a future career, and personal goals to improve me as a person. Setting goals allows me to focus on what I am working toward. Having a plan will help me achieve my goals. By working hard and staying on the right track, I am going to meet my goals.

College is the most commonly discussed topic that my teachers, parents, classmates, friends, and family members converse with me about, and the main reason branches from my current status as an eleventh grader. This means that I have a year and a half left until graduation and college entry. Every day, I am advised the same, repeated information about colleges: “College is awesome,” “College is great,” “You will have so much to stress about,” “College is no joke,” “You should be thinking about colleges,” “Do you know which college you are going to?” These popular phrases I listen to religiously are the reason why I stress about making sure that I obtain the essential resources I need for college, but why should I worry so much about something that I do not necessarily know anything about? Adults have explained so much about college and how the experience will be like, but how would I truly know the experience if I do not have a first-hand perspective on it? I believe that the Summer Scholars Program at the University of Miami

I decided to attend college because I want to make you proud and show you that I want to be successful in life. College has so many distractions that can keep me from not being successful if I let the distractions distract me. I believe in myself and I know that none of those distractions won’t bother me. Partying and hanging with friends is cool from time to time but at the end of the day, youre not paying for me to go to school to party and not get an education. Hard work, dedication and being motivated in school is my key to success and it can take me a long way.

To get this scholarship would give me the opportunity to strive for the college of my dreams. Money that I would be able to win can give me the ability to pay for books or even be put towards savings in order to pay for the rest of college. Since I hope to one day become a medical student, money can go a long way and keep me from worrying about paying for school while trying to stay focused and study. A concern for money can be a huge distraction on my education. The whole point in college is to learn and to succeed, but there won't be any succeeding if money is on my mind. I do not want more stress than I would already be getting from my courses. With the support of this scholarship, it can help ease my mind and let me do what I do best, which

Tony Robbins once said, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” The goals we set tied to our education are often what lead us on the path to success. Goals, no matter how grand or modest, keep students motivated and invested in their education. Furthermore, these are my educational goals and how I plan to achieve them.
