I would like to express my thanks to the Buster Bynum Education Scholarship for allowing me the opportunity for financial assistance through your scholarship program. Being the second child in my family to attend college, I know that college can be expensive. At the age of seventeen, I am the youngest of six children.

For the past three years I’ve earned my gas and spending money working a part-time job laying sod for Mid-South Enterprises LLC. I am confident that my parents will help as much as they possibly can financially, but with the assistance from scholarships my out of pocket tuition cost can be less.

One of the biggest challenges college students face today is debt associated by student loans. Nearly every college student will graduate with debt unless supported by academic or athletic scholarships, grants or financial aid. This issue can be addressed by encouraging students to pursue scholarships, and applying for financial aid. Though not all scholarships are capable of fully funding a student's tuition, most can help provide for fees, books, or housing. Many websites and counselors are open to providing scholarship opportunities to students who seek it. Applying for smaller scale scholarships often can result in a larger amount of money than at first anticipated. Applying for large scale scholarships are worth the time that is spent

The generosity of the Coolidge Scholarship is a life-changing opportunity that would open doors for me, paving a way to my future. There are numerous dreams and wishes I have for the time ahead; among them being attending University of California-Berkeley ($60,000 each year), majoring in pre-med, minoring in business, going to Bastyr University for my ND ($40,000 per year) and opening private practice. If this sum for attending Berkeley were to be generously provided, my debt would be greatly reduced and guide me into attending medical school earlier.
