College and Career Research Paper
When I graduate highschool, I will be attend Georgia Southern University on a full ride with soccer and academic scholarships. I plan to receive my degree in business and marketing, and with that degree and marketing experience, I will become a marketing manager. I am excited to start this new chapter of my life and can’t wait!
To start the next chapter in my life, I need to first apply and get accepted into Georgia Southern University. According to the Georgia Southern Admissions website, you must fill out an application before May 1 2018, and pay a $30 application fee to be eligible to go there in the fall of 2018. College costs a lot of money, so while you’re applying and on the admissions page, you

For the HOPE scholarship, you must meet one of the many requirements: have a 3.0 GPA from an eligible high school, get a diploma, have 30-45 hours of college. You also need to be enrolled as a degree-seeking student at a public or private HOPE-eligible college or university in Georgia. You must also meet academic rigor requirements, such as meeting the academic rigorous courses and meet GPA requirements. If you get the HOPE grant or HOPE scholarship and do 12 hours, you will receive $1,884 for tuition at Georgia Southern.
For my college, you can file for HOPE one of two ways. If you want to get only the HOPE scholarship, then you need to fill out a form on the Georgia Futures website. However, if you want the HOPE scholarship among other scholarships, then you must fill out a FSA form. I filled out a FSA form, so I could see what other programs and scholarships I might qualify for in addition to the HOPE scholarship.
FSA, Federal Student Aid, is the largest provider of student financial aid in the nation. Every student who is wanting to go to college should complete an FSA forum. To complete the form you will need an email address, your parent's income tax returns, FSA ID number, your legal name, and your social security number. To receive aid from FSA you must fill out the form, meet certain requirements, such as financial

I was born in Georgia, I have also lived in South Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma, the last two as my father worked in the oil industry. Most of my family still lives in Georgia and I have always considered Georgia to be my home. I want to live and work in Georgia. I want to be able to have a positive impact on the state of Georgia. I believe I can do that through engineering. That is why if I receive a scholarship it would not only benefit me, but it would also benefit the state of Georgia as well.
I understand that my family and I are not living below the poverty line or fighting over bus fare, but this scholarship will still greatly benefit me. When my sister filed the FAFSA, she was not given an extraordinary amount of money. She had to take out loans to pay for her education. My family and I cannot afford to take out any more loans. In 2014, we lost our house due to foreclosure. For two years, every penny we earned went to our savings account to save up for a house. When I was fourteen years old, I had saved up five-thousand dollars for college. I decided to give the money to my parents in order to buy our house. I am a senior in high school, and I have not managed to recoup my money. Meanwhile, my parents are tied down to a thirty-year mortgage. In addition, my grandfather, who lives in Mexico, has been diagnosed with depression. My parents have been sending money over there in order to pay for his care and medicine. Trying to find the right treatment for him has made money a bit tight in my household.
Georgia Tech is an amazingly expensive school, that charges $53,982.50! It is truly an astoundingly large sum of money. When I showed my family how much that it would cost to fully pay for college, they were shocked and astounded at how mush it would cost to put me through college. In order to pay for it, I will need to apply for scholarships and grants. The first scholarship that I am going to apply for is the GodBold Family Foundation Scholarship. This scholarship will pay for 100% of my financial needs. The cache in that I have to maintain a 1500 on my SAT score. Next, I will apply for the Zell Miller Scholarship. For this, I need to have a 3.7 GPA, and a SAT score of 1200 or an ACT score of 26. This will pay out $9,812. The next one that I will apply to is the MSE Scholarship Program. For this, I must be enrolled in a material science program or engineering program and have a 2.7 GPA. This program gives out $1,500 per semester. In order to reap the benefits (or even be taken into consideration) of the scholarships, I must apply for them, at the latest, February 15th. The scholarships will allow me to almost pay for all of my college funding, but for an extra bit of reassurance, I will also get some amount of money from my parents and the money that I have saved for college. With all of this information done, I could potentially apply and go to
As a high achieving honor roll student, my college education has always been a priority from the time I was young. Florida has become my new home and I would love to attend a university in this wonderful state. I moved from Colorado in May of 2016 and have become more dedicated to school ever since attaining my straight A’s in high school credit classes. Academics are always on the forefront of my mind and it would be quite endearing to finally have all my hard work pay off and be granted a scholarship.
A scholarship is a sum of money or other aid granted to a student based on academics, sports, leadership in the community and school, and military involvement. Requirements for a scholarship are good grades, excellent leadership, and superb at athletics. A specific scholarship is will apply for is the Achievement Scholarship, which is based on academic performance using a combination of my high school GPA, ACT, and/or SAT. this type of scholarship can range from $8,000 to $12,500 and there is no deadline (Cune.edu). Another type of financial aid is the
I have always been concerned about having scholarships, but not until recently have I ever been frightened that I may not be able to to become a student at Southern due to money. In August of this year my dad broke his foot on the job. As a UPS freight driver that worked a ton of overtime and my mom being a substitute teacher, my parents were making a decent amount of money to raise all four kids including myself. My parents have always been determined to send each of their kids to school due to my dad not having that opportunity. He worked a lot of overtime to make sure that he could save money for our college, but he was already concerned about how much it was going to be. After his accident, Workers’ Comp put him on medical leave until the doctors said otherwise. During this time our income became half of what it originally was. Complications arose with the injury, but my father was finally able to go back to work this January after being out since August. Through this time, my need for scholarships became even more important especially since I was unable to qualify for a grant due to fafsa looking at last year’s income. Luckyday would not only be a program that helps me reach out to those at school and in my community, but it would give me a chance to study a major that I am passionate
Your first step should always be filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA tells you how much in federal grants, scholarships and loans you qualify for based on income and the school you are attending, among other factors.
Throughout all four years of my high school career, I have been trying to save money for my upcoming college expenses. Obviously, I was unable to save enough. Winning the George Meyer Scholarship would help me a great deal affording college expenses.
To meet the requirements a student needs to have taken the SAT or ACT. The SAT has an average score of an 1850, and the ACT has a score around 27 (About.com). Also, a student will have a better chance of being considered if they are ranked in the top 20% of their class. A student can apply by contacting the university via email or phone, which can be found on their homepage. Form that, they can apply online. Fall entry applications are to be turned in by the beginning of March, while spring entries should be turned in by mid-November. A student can also chose to the summer entry, in which the applications should be turned in by the beginning of May. For graduate programs, deadlines for scholarships should be turned in either in the beginning or February or March, depending on the program the student is interested in (“Liberal Arts and Sciences”)
I’ve included the link for the scholarship page and the word document that has additional information about the process. In reading through the available scholarships I think the following is the most applicable:
After completing this semester with a high GPA, now I am seeking scholarship support for next semester.
FAFSA is a form that students can fill out in order to apply for financial aid for college. It consists of federal grants and loans based off of your own financial factors. No matter what, as long as funds have not ran out, if a student meets criteria with an application they will receive aid. Also the application is free to everyone. Completing this application and receiving a SARS report is a requirement for some scholarship
Hello, I am Emma Baker. I am currently and eighth grader but i have started looking at colleges to know what to shoot for in high school. I am interested in attending SCAD at the Savannah campus studying Interactive Design and Game Development when i graduate and was wondering what some of the requirements were.
