Living Scholarship

I believe I am the best candidate for this scholarship because of my dedication to become a good radiation therapist. I have been dedicated to becoming a radiation therapist ever since my dad received radiation therapy when I was in high school. Because of this dedication to become a radiation therapist and help cancer patients the way my dad’s radiation therapists helped him I will always work my hardest to achieve that goal. I also believe I am the best candidate because I am extremely persistent, and I don’t allow setbacks and failures to stop me from achieving my goals. I take pride in my ability to learn from my mistakes and improve in the future. Winning this scholarship would greatly help me reduce some of the stress due to the high

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

HOPE scholarship and Georgia Pre-K program. How does public education benefits from the Georgia lottery? I will be doing this research to find out why public schools don’t get any type of money from the lottery. “Maximize revenues for HOPE and Pre-K” the Georgia lottery mission. “To be recognized globally as a top performer and innovative leader in the lottery industry and a trusted and valued partner for the state” the Georgia lottery vision. While doing this research I will be examining how the lottery came about in the state of Georgia. The Georgia lottery system was created to enhance the state’s education funding.

First we will look at the history of the Georgia lottery, secondly the counties who has the most revenue from the lottery, thirdly scholarships and programs, and lastly funding for public schools.

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

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 am the most qualified to receive this scholarship, because I’ve had to work for the things that I’ve gained. I’ve had to overcome things that others wouldn’t be able to handle. No matter what has tried to hold me back I’ve always put it behind me, and did my job I never let it hold me back. I’ve always had a hard work ethic, and have always kept my grades up to stay in the ten percent of my class. I’m also a leader. At the moment I’m leading a workout movement at my school where more and more people from my school come to the civic center to workout. I know how to lead, and motivate them to work. You have to keep your workers morale up, and make them want to work. You have to encourage them and show them that they can do great things. I’ve

Why do I deserve a merit scholarship? A merit scholarship would be an honor to be awarded. I plan on attending the University of Minnesota Crookston for my postsecondary education. I plan on earning a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. While attending the University of Minnesota Crookston, I will participate in the pre-veterinary program. After earning my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, I plan on attending the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for graduate school. At the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, I plan on earning my doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. Earning both a bachelor’s and a doctorate degree will require plenty of hard work and dedication. It will also mean having a large amount of student loans and debt. I believe

As a 17-year-old senior at Bessemer City High, I am truly honored to have a chance to apply for the Ora H. Foster community Service Scholarship. Growing up I have always had a passion for community service. I love the feeling of helping others, without expecting anything in return. For about 2 years now, I have been involved in a number of clubs and community activities. I am involved SGA (Student Government Association), Beta Club, and National Technical Honors at my school, and have done volunteer work for councilmen Cynthia S. Donald. Whenever I am available, I try to be a part of any community service project activities in or outside of school. I also hold down a part-time job at Zaxbys as a cook, where I have an opportunity to learn

The funding of the scholarship would help me grow with my education and better myself for my goals. It will fund my tuition and books.

As a part of the Hartt Community Division, I am currently participating in a variety of different ensembles. These include Harmony Winds, a chamber group, and Concert Choir. Due to this, my family has to pay for three different groups, while simultaneously paying for the other extra-curricular activities that my sister and I take part in. If I were to receive this scholarship, It would greatly help my family stay within our budget.
