Mattson Rotary Scholarship

I have a family of five, two brothers and two parents. My dad works for Ricoh, a company that sells printers, copiers and software. He grew up in a Greek household in northern Chicago. My mom started her own interior design business a few years ago and works for herself. She grew up on a farm in eastern Indiana in the small town of Fort Wayne. My brother Nick is enrolled at University of Iowa and will graduate with a finance major in May. My other brother Drew is a sophomore at University of Illinois and plans to major in finance or accounting. Then there is Matt, the fidgety man who tinkers with electronics, enjoys woodworking and creates better alternatives for random things (toys, RC cars, furniture, etc.). I plan to pursue engineering at University of Illinois, University of Iowa or University of Iowa State because of my love for problem solving and working with others. Golf will forever be apart of my life and so will my passion for pond hockey (as long as my body lets me). I may be quiet and shy when I first meet you but I’m a totally new person around my friends and very outgoing. I’m determined to work hard and make a change in the world someday. I hope to create a lasting legacy on this Earth.

I have been a part of almost every club available to me at Northeast Jones High School and in my community during my time in high school years.Some of the clubs that I am involved in are Beta Club, Serteens (president 2015-2016), Student Council (treasurer 2015-2016), Future Business Leaders of America, Teens Getting Involved for the Future, Key Club, Junior Auxiliary’s Crown Club, Yearbook, and Future Leaders of Jones County. My involvement in all of these clubs have helped me realize how important it is to be involved with my community in order for me to give back. I feel that it is necessary to be extremely involved before being selected for the Luckyday Scholarship, and it would be such a great reward for always giving to those in need to be selected for the Luckyday Scholarship. Because I have been involved with so many clubs and extracurricular activities that serve our community, I will not have a problem juggling academics with any clubs I might join at the University of Southern

I believe that my academic strengths, leadership ability, and appreciation of those who are different from me make me a great candidate for the Jefferson scholarship.

As a candidate for membership into the National Honor Society, I already possess the quality of scholarship. I have received First Honors every quarter since Pre-K3 when I first started school, and I earned high average each year. I maintain my high average in school while joining other organizations, and participating in other activities. Also, I have been taking regular and honors courses while in high school. While an elementary student at Kingsway Christian Academy, I participated in each of the Academic Challenges. I was also the recipient of the Science Fair Award, the President’s Award, the Excellence Award, and many other academic achievements during my school career. As a junior, I am now a member of the Yearbook Journalism Staff and I look forward to having a successful Yearbook year.

The National Honors Junior Society is one of the nation's prime organizations established to acknowledge outstanding middle school students. In order to be eligible to be a part of this society, students must exhibit certain achievements in different areas. Students must demonstrate excellence in areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. The purpose of this prestigious organization is to provide a strong foundation for building leadership skills through service to the school and the surrounding community. I should be a part of this society because I believe I posses great leadership, scholarship, character, citizenship, and service qualities.

All Students, Regardless of Social Status, Race, Gender, or Minority, Have Equal Opportunity to Pursue a High Quality Education

Citizens giving back and providing effective leadership in a community are incontrovertibly important. Clayton and MaryAnn Mathile demonstrated this by dedicating their lives to community service and leadership. Likewise, I have participated in multiple volunteer activities and acted as a leader in several situations. For example, I regularly serve at a daily needs assistance organization in my community. I have also spent years in leadership positions as a member of The Boy Scouts of America. I deserve to win the Mathile Scholarship, as I have dedicated countless hours serving various communities, I have spent years in positions of leadership, and I have several other qualities worthy of recondition.

Athletics has helped shape who I am as a student and as a person. To be selected for the Carl Montavon Memorial Scholarship would be a great honor that I would feel privileged to receive. Carl Montavon was a huge supporter of athletics among high school students, and I am as well for multiple reasons. Not only have the sports that I have participated in helped me physically and socially, but educationally as well. Participating in multiple sports helped motivate me to keep up my GPA for future college recruiting, and fueled my competitive drive into striving and succeeding to become valedictorian of my high school’s graduating class. Athletics taught me responsibility and respect. Not only do I value others opinions, but I make sure

\ First of all, the lions club has helped a lot for me and the community of Groom. The Groom Lions Club Scholarship will help me with my intention of going to Amarillo College to get my Criminal Justice degree and any other courses that I would have to take to be able to join the Amarillo Police Academy. The scholarship money would also help me to pay for any books that I would need for those classes.

I am interested in the LSDP Scholarship. I feel even though I have had leadership experiences in the past, this winter term program could take me that extra mile to becoming the best leader I can be. I served the last two years of my high school career as the FFA Reporter for my FFA chapter office. I also have some experience as a co-producer for my Thespian Society Chapter my junior year of high school. I was part of the National Honor Society and even though I didn’t hold a position it was expected of me to set a good example for other students by volunteering during and outside of school. Senior year I aided my biology teacher during one of her class periods. I helped her with class plans and grading to prepare her for her maternity leave. All these divergent positions allowed me to experience leadership in a different way and I feel that LSDP can help me pull them all together to become a better leader.

Being an Ambassador for Bevill State Community College, to me, means opportunity. It means opportunity to share my positive experiences at Bevill with others. It means opportunity to be of service to the school in which I will proudly call my home for two years. Being awarded an Ambassador scholarship at BSCC will also mean a great financial opportunity for me. My career goals of becoming a Family Physician will be very financially straining, but this scholarship will give me the opportunity to begin my college career debt free. With my past experiences, such as work and school events, I can say that I am comfortable being around and meeting new people. I am very friendly, enthusiastic, supportive, and responsible. Being an ambassador, for

This essay is going to amalgamate everything from life pursuits, my educational objectives, pressing points of my life, etcetera. I feel the AAAS Scholarship is suitable for me because of my drive to get whatever crosses my mind accomplished. From an estimate of 10 years of age, I had always taken interest in occupations that intertwine chemicals and physics in them. Ranging from Neurological Engineers, to as far as a Forensics Pathologist, I have at last discovered my true paradisiacal job.

I believe I am deserving of this scholarship because of my dedication to my academics, as well as my dedication to the sport of golf. During my freshman year, I took all the honors classes that 9th graders could take and with a ton

Being involved in the community is an important need that goes unnoticed. It makes is unaware and detached from the issues and problems that resides in our neighborhood. However, Monica Garcia you have proven that if we invest or skills, our teachings, our time, and our efforts we can see a mighty difference. Because of your hard work, dedication, and persistence if gives me great honor to present this Service Learning award to you. You said “If your dreams do not scare you then they are not big enough.” Thank you Monica Garcia for your

I believe that I should be the recipient of the Blake Schmaltz Memorial Scholarship for many reasons. I do realize that this comment was very arrogant and at this point I am hoping that you did not just toss my application to the side, but the thing is that I have had to accomplish a lot to get to where I am and now I am in need of financial aid to continue my education.Throughout my schooling I have always struggled with my academics, due to the fact that I have dyslexia. In order to get the above average grades that I do, I have to put in multiple extra hours of work and additional reading to help overcome my issue. Even with all of the extra work I put into my academics, I can still pick up a piece of paper and see jumbled up words that
