Explain Why I Deserve A Scholarship

Words cannot express my gratitude. Receiving the Bettye McDonald Caldwell and Fred T. Caldwell, Jr. scholarship is truly an honor! After the lottery scholarship, I end up having to pay for about half my tuition, which makes this gift is an incredible blessing. Going to school full-time and working full-time is a difficult balancing act, but not working is not an option. When I opened the email stating I had been awarded this scholarship, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment overtook me. It gave me a deep and powerful feeling of success. This scholarship award is proof to me that hard work does pay off. It is a motivator to work even harder to achieve my goals and reach my dream career. I sincerely thank you with every piece of my heart.

I want to help research and design robotic prosthetics that provide more natural movements and the sense of touch. Movement is one of the challenges that affect people with missing limbs the most. Having the ability to stand, walk, reach, and grab are tasks that do not come easy for them. They will always need assistance. Being on our high school robotics team, we built robots that could lift, throw, and grab objects. I would love to make robotic devices to help disabled people live normal lives. I recently had the opportunity to visit a facility for wounded soldiers at Ft Sam, TX. We learned how they fit and customize prosthetic arms and legs for the soldiers and how they benefit

I believe that I should be awarded this scholarship because of my effort in my past twelve years. There have been many times where I wanted to give up on school, but my motivation arose from my parents and their struggle to keep my sister and me in school. Being from Guatemala, their goal was for me to get my education, and if I didn’t try I would be letting the opportunities slip through my hands. Throughout my four years of high school I’ve had sleepless nights, about 100 cups of coffee, endless alarm clocks, and stressful test days to get myself where I am now. I am twelve out of the one thousand and ninety-nine seniors; my GPA is a four point five. In the end it was all my effort. Without me pushing myself, I wouldn’t have been here awaiting

I think I deserve this scholarship because I am a bright student that continuously strives to be the best that I can be. I have been through many struggles but continue to make the most of life itself. To me scholarships are not just free money to go out and spend on whatever. I truly need this money to be able to further my education because it is already a huge struggle for me to put gas in my car so that I can go to my nurse aide class. I know that things will work out as long as I never give up on my dreams. I am very serious when it comes to my education. This is because in society today if you don't have a good educational background then it is very hard to find a good job. Life has always been a battle for me but knowing that there are people out there who are ready to help and inspire me through the hard times just makes it all worth it. So as long as i know that people appreciate what I do, I will never give up.

Altogether, I believe that I deserve the scholarship because I am a diligent worker who seeks to make a positive change in the world. With a fully-enriched education, I can make that

I would like to be considered for an additional scholarship due to not only financial reasons but because I believe I can become a model Honors College student. I'm actively involved in multiple organizations on campus, I work part-time as a student assistant with the Honors College along with making sure I get good grades.

I would use this scholarship to further my education and dream of becoming a surgeon. I have volunteered at St. Anthony Hospital since October 2016 in the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit) and the OR (Operating Room). I have over 500+ hours volunteering and in conjunction with that I have done a 100-hour internship over the summer. In the PACU, I work with nurses and I get to observe patients waking up from surgery. I help the nurses with anything they need like monitoring a patient, getting family members, cleaning bays, and answering phones. I help out in the OR by cleaning and stocking. It is fulfilling not only because I help the nurses out a lot, but also because I have a passion for the medical field. I started volunteering because of my interest in the medical field

Uneducated, Ignorant, and a house keeper was all I was set to be living in a small predominantly white town in Florida. I knew racism existed, but was too young to comprehend it. As I sat in class to better myself, and ensure that I learned the native tongue of those around me I found myself becoming blended. I am a Puerto Rican/Dominican American and the second generation of being a natural born citizen. I am, however, the first generation to apply to college. I feel I deserve this scholarship because I have come a long way from racism and overall expectations.

I believe I deserve the A.R.S.S.B Dean’s Student Advisory Scholarship because I am a hardworking student in the business field. I strive to improve myself daily, using the resources I am given throughout our campus. I make a great effort to always staying updated when it comes to any events dealing with the School of Business or TAMIU. Although, I am not involved in the A.R.S.S.B Dean’s Student Advisory Council, I hope to get involved with this program next semester that way I may gain experience and develop stronger work ethic skills. I believe I would be a great recipient for this scholarship based off my dedication to my work studies, and my will to be involved with TAMIU. Although I am classified as a Junior, it is my first year in college,

I believe I should be awarded this scholarship because of the hard work and dedication I put fourth in every school day. My family has just enough money to make it by, living pay check to pay check. I don't like to see my parents struggle and I now have two jobs in order to not take away from the money making ends meet. My economic status doesn't hinder me, it makes me stronger. I know I have to do well in high school and college in order to change standards that my family lives in. Neither of my parents graduated from college and I want to break the cycle not only to make them proud, but to make myself proud. I believe I should be awarded the scholarship because I am not only thinking about futhering myself, I'm thinking about helping my

I believe that I deserve this scholarship because I have dedicated my life to helping anyone and everyone I can. Starting in middle school I worked very closely with The Town of North Hempstead in all and any volunteer opportunities they offered. In 9th grade I was given the chance to help out at ht e local library, then at the school library, and have set up sessions where high school students read to the kids in elementary school. 10th grade I continued with these endeavors. In 11th grade I realized I wasn't doing enough to help, so I joined up with Shoes for Harvest. This organization collects shoes and distributes them to people who are in need. Working with them we collected over 1500 pairs of shoes, which is more then they had done in

My scholarship allowed me to be awarded with an on campus job. Due to my dual-enrollment credit hours and my ACT score, I was given the opportunity to become an athletic study hall worker. I served as a mentor and personal tutor for the incoming freshmen athletes of the university and supervised their academic study hours. All of the athletes were required to attend study hall 8 hours a week. Just like my first class of freshmen athletes, I was also new to the university. This experience was very beneficial for me in that I was given a very important duty at such a young age. I had to learn to keep control of my students as well as ensure a conductive, comfortable learning

I feel that I should be considered for this scholarship because I have worked hard to attain my achievements and I had to mature at an ealier age than most students. My parents divorced when I was in elementary school and from then on my brother and I had to deal with constant arguments between our parents. We were under a lot of pressure to decide which parents would attend what events we had for they could not get along in the same building. This was especially hard because every child wants their parents to be able to support them and watch them grow throughout the years. Having to choose between the two parents put on a lot of stress on myself and it made me realize how successful I want to become in life. I want to ensure I go to college

I deserve this scholarship because disregarding the seventeen ACT score I have or the 3.24 GPA I have, I have worked very hard to get to where I am now being my last year which is senior year. Around two years ago, I wasn’t who I am now. Freshman and sophomore year of High School all you saw was a girl who just let days passed by. I didn’t pay attention to my grades, or pay attention about college or anything. If I had a 70 in one of my classes I saw it as a pretty moderate grade, as long as I was passing my classes. However, little did I realize that the poor choices that I made would affect my last two years of High School.

I believe I should be considered for these scholarships as I’m hardworking, passionate, and altruistic. These scholarships will help in my endeavours of attending college debt-free, while learning skills to assist me afterwards.
