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

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.

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.

Another interesting feature of Walden University is their focus on "student-centeredness"--which means that the university seeks to build their curriculum around the work ethic of the students. Students are expected to be self-motivated and are rarely reminded of an upcoming assignments or tests. For some, this may sound like an excuse for professors to be disinterested. For others, especially self-driven individuals, not having a professor breathing down your neck may be a breath of fresh air.

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

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

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.

I believe that I am a worthy candidate for this scholarship due to my recognition of the financial impact of college. Growing up in a single parent home has been a financially and emotionally difficult feat for my mother and myself. When I was seven years old, my father passed away from a blood clot. During his life, he served in Vietnam, where he was granted a Purple Heart after shattering his kneecap on a landmine. He was on disability, and my mother was employed as a rehabilitation nurse, the only source of income in our family. After his death, my mother and I both began to go to therapy for our grief over losing my father. Focusing on my mental health helped me accept the meaning of death, and struck my motivation to honor my father and ensure that he would be proud of me. When I grew up, we always relied on getting clothes from thrift stores to save money and cutting any unnecessary expenditures. My mother always worked to have enough money for food and comfort. I received monetary Survivor Benefits after his death until my high school graduation this past May. As mentioned before, my mother has Multiple Sclerosis, which is an unfortunately expensive illness. Shortly after her diagnosis, the rehabilitation unit of her work closed and she was left on unemployment right before my sophomore year of high school. I was not old enough to drive or work, so finances were incredibly strict. On my 16th birthday, I attended an orientation to work as a lifeguard at our local YMCA. The next day, I also got my license to eliminate transportation issues. My employment alleviated financial and emotional stress on my mother, as I was able to contribute to the bills and my personal expenses. Throughout my life, my mother has also been very dependent on alcohol to relieve stress. There were numerous times where I

I have lived in West Liberty all my life, with my parents Corie and Ronda Peterson and my younger sister Morgan. I love golfing especially with my friends and family as well as spending time outdoors in the summer. My mother is my biggest inspiration because while she was fighting cancer she not only stayed strong for my sister and I but also she has taught me to be strong and to believe in who I am and who I will become. I am extremely excited to be furthering my education at Mount Mercy University to become a neonatal nurse, this scholarship will help me with my financial insecurities making me more confident to pursue my dreams.

At the end of first grade, my parents were concerned because I could not read. I never developed any basic decoding skills making reading almost impossible. My mother had me tested for special education and we talked to our doctor about other issues that may be interfering with

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).
