I was ecstatic when I received my letter of admission to Boston University, however, due to the financial burden of attending the university, accepting the offer of admission is not feasible without a financial aid package. Though I have received financial aid, it is not enough to cover the entire cost of tuition. Furthermore, I am currently finishing an AmeriCorps year of service, where I serve as an educator and mentor to middle school students in New York City. The students I work with are primarily students of color from low-income backgrounds. As a part of my duties I provide small group tutorials and lessons in English and Math as well as helping my students set goals. I enjoy the work I have done as a part of my year of service, however it has impacted my ability to save for my education. I also have a significant amount debt that I accrued during undergrad, which leads to a greater financial burden and …show more content…
My experience as a Community Outreach and Advocacy intern at NAMI(National Alliance on Mental Illness) in particular inspired my desire to go into the field of mental health and provide mental health services to those who can afford it the least. This is because the unique thing about NAMI is that the majority of the individuals who volunteer and work there, have also been recipients of services. Through this experience as well as many other such as my year of service, I have learned strong communication skills and listening skills. I want to continue using the skills I learned during my time as an intern NAMI as well as learn new skills that will help me in the field of mental health and this scholarship will give me the opportunity to focus on my studies. This will also make me a more active member in Social Work department and better able to contribute my skills to the academic

Starting my journey at Eastern Michigan University I was fortunate enough to have received the Emerald Scholarship. This scholarship has greatly helped in decreasing costs of attendance. I have also been largely supported by my parents my first few years at this school. As I near my senior year, the financial responsibility of school has now become my own. While I welcome this responsibility, my need for financial aid is necessary as I am a full-time student and part-time employee at Boneheads BBQ. I would like to be able to keep my position working part-time to ensure that I am able to fully dedicate myself to my education.
I am applying to Jassac Charitable Foundation Scholarship. I have big dreams to fill when it comes to my future aspirations as a social worker. I have known since I was about the age twelve that I wanted a career in the helping profession. My mother always opened our home to the homeless and unfortunate. I have an aunt and uncle who are social workers and has spent the majority of their life serving the unjust population. Also, growing up I saw my mother struggle as a single parent so that her family can have basic human needs. This situation, assist me to see that women, minors, and the elderly population need someone to advocate for them so that they can empower themselves and progress to better choices.
I should receive the Lucile Gustafson Scholarship because I have demonstrated a high excellence in scholastic achievement throughout high school and continue to do so at Waubonsee Community College. Throughout my senior year of high school, I have completed 17 college credits through Waubonsee’s duel credit program, all of which, I received A’s. I am currently taken 11 credits this semester though Waubonsee so I can start the nursing program this fall. Furthermore, I exhibit leadership in the participation of clubs. For example, when I was a Freshmen Seminar leader I lead a group of 25 freshmen and helped them learn about high school. I have shown outstanding citizenship by volunteering at Alden Garden of Waterford Assisted Living for the last three years, every Friday for four hours. I help with activities such as manicures, leading card games, and helping with special events such as dressing up as the Easter Bunny and setting up decorations for Christmas. I have participated in many volunteer events through school like helping a forest preserve by planting butterfly garden through Science National Honor Society. I also tutor the subject of English monthly through National English Honor Society. Hence, I am determined to give back to the community and further achieve in academics and leadership. I am highly motivated to accomplish the goals set before
By receiving the McCoole VFW Auxiliary Scholarship, it will help me achieve my future goals of attending Frostburg State University to start my long journey in getting my Ph.D. in psychology. I will have to go to college for a minimum of eight years to achieve this goal. Or after my four years at Frostburg State University I will attend a Medical School to complete four more years in order to become a Psychiatrist. Either decision will enable me to go and pay for eight years of college. So by obtaining this scholarship, I will be able to start paying for this opportunity. I have always dreamed of helping people and being able to make a difference in people’s lives. My dream is to get a career in psychology and either become a psychiatrist
What this scholarship would provide for me is not just a viable boost in self-confidence and euphoric relief from the stress of student loans, but also an official change in direction. A change that will not only allow me to fulfill my desires of being different,
I believe that I am a good candidate for the Amy L. McKee-Everett Memorial Scholarship due to my caring and loving nature. An excellent example would be the time I gave back to Flat Rock River YMCA Camp this year, during New Years Eve. I volunteered as a counselor to a group of amazing girls. I wanted to volunteer my time, seeing that Flat Rock had done so much for me, in my seven years as a camper. It was time to give back. The 53 hours of time I spent helping out with all the girls, was immensely rewarding. I wouldn't trade my experiences I have had with Flat Rock River YMCA Camp for the world. This experience made me a better person, and will carry over into my undergraduate years of college. I am going into my freshman year bearing skills
It would truly be a fantastic honor to be awarded the Christopher A. Funt Memorial Scholarship. I plan to attend Alderson Broaddus University in the fall and this generous award would go a long way in helping me to pay for my tuition costs, books, housing costs, etc. I am very excited about furthering my education and investing myself into a brand new province of study, as I am striving to become the most well educated individual that I can possibly be. To be chosen from a pool of other outstanding South-Western athletes would be a wonderful privilege that I sincerely wish to be afforded.
After taking some time to read the university website and student testimonials, I was able to gauge my “fit” candidacy at Pikeville. Having traveled to the area previously to visit family has also been factored into my decision. It is the college’s involvement with the community that is most enticing to me. I participate in my own community and wish to continue community involvement while in medical school. The humanistic tradition and the intrinsic osteopathic philosophy held by Pikeville obviously resonate with me due to my interest in the osteopathic approach to medicine. These facets, delivered with a patient centered focus, are what I desire to provide for my patients in the future. The campus’s interest in delivering high quality
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the Lindholm-Lebovitz Endowed Scholarship available for students, and me, at Wheaton College. By having the scholarship it has enabled me to attend Wheaton for all four years and subsequently opened so many doors for me.

Currently, I am Vice-President and Secretary of ULL’s chapter of the National
I faced academic adversity when I moved to the United States in July 2010. I failed to enroll at the University of Colorado in the fall of 2010 because of lack of sufficient funds. I tried to process loans but could not process any loans because I didn’t have a Permanent Resident status at that time. I had no family or close friends that I could borrow money from since I had just moved to the United States. My desire to accomplish my goal led me to start looking for ways to pay for college. I had the drive, determination, patience and a positive attitude so; I started collecting enough funds by working several jobs. A year later, I enrolled into the university and could only afford to register for a three credit hour class. I was persistent
On May 3, 1898, Goldie Mabotvitch, sometimes named Golda, was born into a Jewish family in Kiev, Russia (“Golda Meir”). Due to anti-Semitic persecution, her family immigrated to the United States and settled down in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1905 (Brittanica). In 1916, Goldie attended college at the Milwaukee Normal School; during her time in college, she became involved in Zionism, the concept that the Jewish people should have their own nation state, and later joined several Zionist clubs (“Golda Meir”). She graduated from college with a degree in Education and married a man named Morris Meyerson (“Golda Meir”). In 1921, Golda and Morris moved to Palestine, the former name for Israel, and joined a Jewish agricultural settlement called a kibbutz (Sullivan and Koepp).
To have a deep down experience on my career goal, I had taken an opportunity to intern at the city of Aurora Public Defender Office during the fall of 2015 where I learned and got more inspired to follow this field. During my internship, I learned that being a lawyer is more than what we see on the TV and it can be very emotional sometimes with cases, but seeing all these cases has inspired me, even more, to go into this field. By receiving this scholarship, I will be more motivated to attend college and pursue my dream of becoming an immigration lawyer. With my family economy situation, my parents can’t afford to pay for my post-secondary education so receiving this scholarship will extremely help
