Cortez Personal Statement

My family has many economic issues but strive to give their children what they need. My mom is senatorial services and my father works as landscaper. Having two parents that work long hours and that have a hard time making ends meet, it makes me realize the importance of scholarships. Because of the fact that we have a full house: my mom, dad, older brother, my other brother, his wife, my sister and my nephew, it is very difficult for me to say that I can get major financial support from my family.

Without scholarships, grants and financial aids, I will not be able to attend college. My family has to save up to pay for other necessities like bills, insurance, my siblings and my grandmother. I try to save whatever dollar bills or pennies I can find, to help save money being spent. If I receive enough financial help to pay for my first year of college, I will apply for Work Study to save up on money to start supporting myself financially and learn not to depend on my family income but my own. I will continue to apply for financial aid but try to pay for college with my own money as well. I want to take unnecessary burden off of my parents

College is becoming more and more expensive as time goes on. This causes many students to heavily rely on the help of scholarships. I am one of those students. My parents are unable to help me pay for my college education. I have worked during the summer to help pay for some of the costs of my education and will find a job near my university to pay for as much as possible. In order to get out of college with as little debt as possible, I need to receive as many scholarships as I can. I have been a very active member in the community and in school activities. I have always given all of my effort for everything I do. I believe that over the years, I have made a worthy contribution to the community. I have always been a hard worker and I will

College comes with a rather large price tag. One that is not “affordable” and will start my adult life in significant debt. This scholarship will allow me to defray the cost of my education and defray my amount debt in student loans. In addition, I am in the top three percent of my class and am a hardworking individual. I have dedicated the past four years of my life to laying the foundation for college and earning acceptance into a university that has an outstanding engineering program. To me, college is not just the next step in my academic career, but it is the stepping stone into a career and a successful future full of problem solving, learning, and collaboration.

This fall, I will be the first to attend college out of my family. My parents have tried over the years to build up my college fund. Because of different unfortunate events that we have come across with, the money available for me to attend college is not as large as required. This really puts a lot of pressure into my parents and myself. I consider myself an excellent student and I have my future well planned out. I know that my parents not only have to worry about how they are going to pay for my college, but also for the future education of my two younger siblings. This scholarship will help me achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a surgeon.

I have the mindset to fulfill my duties to the world, but I cannot do it without the financial stability. By receiving a scholarship, I would be able to make a difference in the disease that rocked my family and many others. In addition to being able to help strangers, I want to be able to help my family. My family has survived by my hardworking fathers business. Receiving a degree and a well paying job would allow me to pay off my parents debts. I would love to be able to repay them for everything that they went through to give me the wonderful life that I live. Attending Wright State on a scholarship would change my life and many others as

By receiving a scholarship I'll not only be able to pay for all my necessary classes and textbooks but the burden of stress brought upon the costs of college will be lightened, allowing me to put more of my efforts and thoughts towards my studies. Of course more effort put into my work means the more quality the work becomes whilst also the more attention I give to college in general. I'd like to be able to pursue the goal of nursing and having a scholarship would greatly aid me in the long road ahead by allowing more time for college and less time for worrying about costs for said college

Also, they many scholarships that I can apply for. The first one I found that I will apply for being the Hope Scholarship. (Hope Scholarship) The second one I will be applying for is the Life Scholarship. (Life Scholarship) And then I will be applying for the financial aid at whatever school I choose. I think that knowing I have many options that I will not have to pay so much helps me with making the choice. With everything that goes into making this choice, knowing that money is something that I will not have to really focus and worry about means that I can turn my main focus to other things that go along in this big decision

Going to college is a tremendously exciting but also a considerably stressful moment in life. But having a scholarship, may help make going to college less stressful. According to a national survey in 2015 seventy percent of students in college were stressed about college finances. I have many dreams in life and some of them are expensive; it will be great if i was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship to help me accomplish those dreams.

Scholarships offer a reward for all my hard work. In my point of view, obtaining a scholarship shows that my hard work has paid off and motivates me to keep it up. It also lessens the large financial burden that tuition can bring during and after college. I appreciate all the help I can get to help me stay as debt free as I can.

I come from a one income family because my parents felt it was important that my mom stay home with the children. I am the sixth of eight kids, so it is difficult for my parents to provide for their children’s college education. Each of my five older siblings have paid their own way through college, and I intend to do the same. Receiving scholarships will lighten my financial burden drastically.

I have been trying to save as much money as possible, but any amount that I could receive in the form of a scholarship, would be extremely beneficial. My parents have already done their best trying to help both of my siblings through college. I am the youngest and the cost of college has risen dramatically. It would be a financial burden for me to receive a bachelor’s degree without a scholarship. Going to ICC and then transferring to a Bradley will be expensive. Any type of financial assistance would be an enormous help in furthering my education and achieving my goals. A degree in today’s society is crucial to the success and the advancement of any individual in the workforce. A scholarship to most people is just free money. A scholarship for me, however, is opening a door to my

From a financial standpoint, a scholarship would have a tremendous impact on my continuing education. The stress of not knowing exactly how I will continue to be able to afford to attend the great school of the University of Oklahoma is extremely prominent, in my life, so any financial help that will continue to allow me to further my education would be an incredible blessing. I am willing and ready to extend all of my effort into obtaining any and all types of scholarships that I qualify for. I understand that scholarships are not just handed out, but they are given to candidates that consistently exemplify the ability to always work hard, persevere through unfortunate circumstances, and contribute to the institution that he or she is attending

Growing up, college has always been necessary for me to succeed. However, now that the time has come to fill out applications and decide where I want to go, there is only one thing stopping me, the cost of it all. College unbelievably, is expensive for those of us who come from a single-parent household. I didn’t have the luxury of my parents or guardians setting aside money for me to use when I got to this point. We lived off every single paycheck, down to the last penny. Although that has never been in my control, filling out any and every scholarship I can, will make it a lot easier.

Money is a need for everyone. For me, scholarships are money rewarded as an appreciation for my work, which gives me an inner drive to excel, as a reward I don’t have to pay them back. Student loans are another option for financing college costs, however, I will have to pay them back with interest when I complete my education. I don’t want to look
