College Scholarship Benefits

I have the opportunity to go get a degree, but of course that comes with a financial burden. I'm not a D1 football player who holds a full ride scholarship. Although I have received some scholarship money to help offset the cost, I am still left paying almost 16,000 out of pocket. We are not talking loans here, we are talking cash out of pocket. That number makes my mom very uncomfortable especially because she is a single parent. She's left being responsible for that debt. She often finds herself worrying about this cost. She wants me to be able to finish college at all costs, but she worries that the price will become a huge burden, and I won't be able to stay at Robert Morris the whole time. I hate that my mom has the weight of the world

I would like to express my thanks to the Buster Bynum Education Scholarship for allowing me the opportunity for financial assistance through your scholarship program. Being the second child in my family to attend college, I know that college can be expensive. At the age of seventeen, I am the youngest of six children. I learned from my family that they will give me all the love in the world, but when it comes to money I have to earn it. For the past three years I’ve earned my gas and spending money working a part-time job laying sod for Mid-South Enterprises LLC. I am confident that my parents will help as much as they possibly can financially, but with the assistance from scholarships my out of pocket tuition cost can be less.

As many other students who attend Jefferson R-7, I am looking to further my education past high school. I am planning to attend Fontbonne University next fall and although I am very excited about this next chapter in my life, there are also some worries. As everyone is aware, college is not cheap and a degree costs thousands of dollars. This scholarship would have a massive impact on me financially. It would help chip away at the cost of tuition and help me focus more on my education rather than my student debt. I feel that this scholarship would help lift some of the financial stress placed on me due to tuition. I would be less worried about how many I owe and more focused on the task at hand. Another reason this scholarship would be a

The generosity of the Coolidge Scholarship is a life-changing opportunity that would open doors for me, paving a way to my future. There are numerous dreams and wishes I have for the time ahead; among them being attending University of California-Berkeley ($60,000 each year), majoring in pre-med, minoring in business, going to Bastyr University for my ND ($40,000 per year) and opening private practice. If this sum for attending Berkeley were to be generously provided, my debt would be greatly reduced and guide me into attending medical school earlier.

One of the biggest challenges college students face today is debt associated by student loans. Nearly every college student will graduate with debt unless supported by academic or athletic scholarships, grants or financial aid. This issue can be addressed by encouraging students to pursue scholarships, and applying for financial aid. Though not all scholarships are capable of fully funding a student's tuition, most can help provide for fees, books, or housing. Many websites and counselors are open to providing scholarship opportunities to students who seek it. Applying for smaller scale scholarships often can result in a larger amount of money than at first anticipated. Applying for large scale scholarships are worth the time that is spent

Winning the College JumpStart will help me attain a personal goal of receiving a higher education with as little debt as possible. I will like to go to school debt free to relieve financial strain from myself, and my parents. Winning this scholarship will help make my plans of debt free higher education a reality. My parents often tell me that ‘education is the great equalizer’ and I’ve always wanted to attend the best school I could without a financial burden preventing me from achieving my goal of attending.

Frequently I hear my intelligent peers tell myself or others that they are not attending college, or are going

According to the U.S census,there are 16 million college students and 71% end up in student loan debt;and that number has been increasing since 2012 and has combined to a total of 1.3 million dollars in student loan debt.Student loan debt has become a recurring issue over the years with students,presidential candidates,governments fighting for ways or not fighting for ways to implement new programs to make college cheaper but it has not been efficient in making college affordable for the poor or middle class. This is such an important topic for me and those 16 million students more than half of whom are struggling to pay off that student debt.This is why I believe that researching the overwhelming concern that there is not much support for both college athletes and academically excelled students,who struggle to pay for college because of how expensive it is and how little scholarships they receive despite their excellence is important to helping spread the need for change to help decrease student debt.High School athletes who decide to play sports at the collegiate level get the chance to go to college and play their sport while having their expenses covered entirely;despite this, it is an opportunity only given to very few students.Just like athletes struggle most colleges will not offer a full-time scholarship to students with higher academic success unless that student has higher than a 34 on the act or a grade point average higher than a 4.0,which is statistically

Currently, I am Vice-President and Secretary of ULL’s chapter of the National

However, college education not only delivers a degree or diploma, but also intellectual growth and a more promising future of financial stability and happiness. With things like fees, financial aid, housing and transportation, it is understandable for any individual to be frustrated with the many obstacles college may throw. However, college is only as difficult as one may approach it. It is an overwhelming statistic that “student debt has increased significantly,” within the past few decades (Leonhardt). With plenty of opportunities for financial aid, students can ease the tension of their wallets by taking advantage of the convenience scholarships provide.

My life goals include securing a job in the mathematics world, providing for my family, and living to my fullest potential. As I continue to study mathematics and statistics at Virginia Tech, I continue to place myself in financial aid debt to pay for my education. This ever growing debt will one day play an impact on the life my family will have. My goals are the same as most and there is nothing extravagant about them, but with the help of this scholarship, I will have the ability to achieve them sooner with less debt to pay off and less of a burden to lay stress on my family. I plan to achieve these goals and with the generous support of the Clinton Wiley Baber Scholarship I will reach my goals without a financial impact holding me back.

Political fear is an important concept which has repercussions throughout politics today. Much of this idea is established in Corey Robin’s work Fear: The History of a Political Idea. In this book he walks through the philosophical origins of the concept, discusses what it looks like at different moments in American history, and offers his own theory of the a form of political fear developed in the United States, which he calls “Fear, American Style.” Next, the dynamics that occurred during the McCarthy era United States are discusses and related back to this idea- that a uniquely American type of political fear is at work here, particularly in workplaces across the country. Finally, through the in class presentations on fear, the implications
