Houston Scholarship

Service is simply an act of helpful activity and the transferable skills that are gained from service illustrate the importance of being involved. By volunteering in my community and taking part in organizations that are centered on service, I am able to strengthen my understanding of my surroundings, and I am taught more compassion for others. Being involved presents unlimited opportunities to give back to others, and with the skills instilled by service, I am able to make a difference in the lives around me. Experience gained with service creates characteristics in a person that can shape the direction of my life, and I will value that in the future.

Furthermore, this scholarship has given me the privilege to advanced my education in my dream school and enjoy the perks of being a Drexel student, such as co-op.

Scholarships are distributed differently between Division 1 and Division 2 athletics. The NCAA does not appear to be concerned with the roster size of a team when developing the rules governing how scholarships are distributed. A high school athlete’s dream is a full ride to their favored college. However, reality is, the scholarship offered can be far less, dependent upon the sport they play. Football and basketball are the favored sports at the collegiate level based on the NCAA’s rules of distribution.

I am twenty years old, an African American, and I am single. Growing up church is all I knew, I was that little girl my peers used to say, “You be in church Monday through Sunday”, which didn’t offend me at all. I would like to say as far as my religion I am a Baptist and I believe in God. Currently I attend The Alabama State University majoring in Social Work. I do not have a job but I do have work-study here on campus where I do my hours at the Comptroller’s Office.

As the 56th Annual Henderson County Livestock Show [HCLS] rolled around the corner this year, I was not expecting to have the honor of becoming

During my time at UC Davis, I have learned to uphold the qualities of leadership, service, and scholarship through all of my campus affiliations. Through my affiliation with Recognizing Illnesses Very Early and Responding (R.I.V.E.R), a public health education promotion organization, I have learned the importance of empathy and respect towards the target population that we work with. Similarly, as a Biology Undergraduate Scholars Program Lead Peer Advisor and as a Chemistry Tutor, these organizations have kept me academically focus. Most importantly, these three qualities of leadership, service, and scholarship resonant with me because these are the three pillars that I have and will continue to display as a member of Prytanean Womens Honors Society.

Savannah Woodall is extremely involved in AEC and College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS). She is a CALS Ambassador, which she says allows her to make connections for future career opportunities as well as develop leadership skills and become an effective communicator. One of the best feelings she says, is when students enter the University of Florida and say that they found out about the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences or their major through ambassadors like her. She says it has a truly lasting impact and is where she

The definition of judge is “to form a judgment or opinion of; decide upon critically.” I’ve been judged, you’ve been judged, all of us have been judged and all of us have judged. That person you judged, because they were walking funny, they had surgery on their foot and were told they would never walk again. That boy that stutters, he has abusive parents. That girl that is stuck up, her dad was sent to jail and her mom died.

I received the 2015-2016 FCSAA All-Academic Team in Student

"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." - John Dewey. This quote has inspired my decision to transfer to Rutgers University School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. I will forever be grateful to Fairleigh Dickinson University for accepting me and allowing me the opportunity to obtain a scholarship, if it was not for the full ride I would not have been able to attend college. Turns out Fairleigh Dickinson University did not offer me the opportunity to study my intended major, meteorology. In high school, I felt limited because I was in a program that was not suitable to my interests. I feel the same here at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

I need a scholarship from LJMU, because I believe that your course will provide me with the necessary skills and attributes to succeed in law and will improve my skills and knowledge in order to be able to create my own project to develop my society. Also, I want to enhance my presentation skills and improve the way I express my ideas, opinions and communication skills.

And the only way to do so is by talking to other people from different backgrounds, joining a course that would further my knowledge and help me to establish my network, in order to achieve my professional goals, since interacting with people at any level will be beneficial in my short and long
