Receiving this scholarship will be really helpful and will relieve a lot of stress for me financially.

The College JumpStart Scholarship will help me attain my goals by earning my bachelor degree in graphic design so I can become a professional graphic designer to a purse a career of my dreams. I am very compassionate about graphic design and how it can help me to achieve to start my own business to share my creativity and gift of art and share my amazing designs to people. I was accepted to University of North Florida and will begin classes in the fall semester. In order to fulfill my bachelor degree, I need this scholarship to pay for books, classes, art supplies, and living expenses on the campus. As a struggle college student, this scholarship will strength my opportunities at UNF to take advance graphic design classes so I can able to graduate

This scholarship will help me get a head start in college. It will also help me to reach my career goals in the medical field.

This scholarship is very important to me in many ways.This scholarship will help me physically and emotionally if I receive money. For instance, it will make me stress less about how I am going to be able to pay for my tuition and fees and not have debt. Also, it will give me a way to purchase my books for the classes I will take.Since I will not receive financial aid I will have to apply for more scholarships. I plan to go to Northwest Shoals to be able to get my basics done and further my education and transfer to Wallace State to be able to become an Occupational Therapist it has always been a desire to work with many people and help someone out if they needed it. Some of my college goals is to be able to maintain a high GPA and do the

Florida International University is an amazing school but affording it is not easy, especially due to my circumstances. My mother is a single mother of four children, me being the oldest, each child five to seven years apart. She is a certified nursing assistant and only has some college completed. My mom had to put her life on hold, sacrificing her education to take care of her children. She was not born in the United States, but in Haiti. After my aunt there is not much family that lives in the United States, instead they live in Haiti. This scholarship would be a blessing, having a positive impact on my education and life. Financially, it will help my pay for the schooling I need to accomplish my goals that I wish to pursue at Florida International University. This scholarship can really be the start to my future and my plans.

I would also like to continue on the fact that it would help rid of anxiety and stress. This scholarship would allow me to purchase all of my books, pencils, classes, and other basic needs to go to school. Covering that cost would definitely take away stress, anxiety and heart aches. I would not go into serious debt from college which would help me financially now and

I am DeQuandra Lyles from Sawyerville, Al and I'm grateful for my family and the scholarship to Neosho Community College.  I'm grateful for my family because it has been a rough week for me. I can always count on them they support me and everything I do. Even when I have bad days my family are my motivators. Family would listen to what you have to say and will refuse to give up on you. However, I'm grateful for the scholarship I didn't expect to receive one. The scholarship helped me out a lot I was less stressful. The scholarship paid for my tuition and books so less money came out of my parents pocket.

The intent of this scholarship is for financial need. Recently my step dad has change jobs which has cut his income significantly. This scholarship would really help paying for college, since I will also have 2 other siblings in college at the same time as me. I will be furthering my academic education at California Baptist University and will majoring in photography. Attending Cal Baptist will give me the best education as well as provide me with a Christian education. It is very important to me that I will have a Christian education and that I will be surrounded by a family like community. Some of my goals for the future are to become a photographer, learn to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself, and get an internship over one

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

Although I live in a two parent household, I am only one of two college students in my family. Currently both of my parents are employed in Social Services, and unfortunately they do not have a lot of discretionary income to contribute financially to my college costs. I qualify for a partial Pell Grant, but I will still fall short of the total cost to attend Southeast Missouri State University for the 2016-17 school year. In order to avoid taking out a significant amount of loans, which will leave me in debt I have worked hard in the classroom to maintain a 4.0 GPA to qualify for merit based scholarships. Receiving The Joyce and Thomas H. Stanisic Memorial Scholarship will allow me to focus solely on my education rather than financing my education throughout my sophomore year of college.

As my senior year comes around, it has become more real to me that I have to take charge of my future. I deserve and need this scholarship just as I need oxygen to breathe. Being the first in my family to attend college or even have the idea in their head means I’m on my own to discover what to do to get into college and how to come up with the means. I

However, my joy is marred by the fact that I have to cope with significant financial problems. During all these years I was forced to take low-wage jobs and, as a result, I don’t have any savings. I live on my own. My amazing parents have supported me morally and financially throughout my life, but they are not young already and close to retirement age. As a 30-year-old woman, I realize that very soon it will be my turn to take care of them. I live alone and have to pay all learning and living costs and to support myself. My student loan will not cover my accommodation costs. These are the realities of my life. That is why receiving this scholarship means a lot to me. It will give me the opportunity to complete my education and subsequently will allow me to succeed in life. Therefore, any financial help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I need this scholarship so that I can relieve some of the financial burdens that have been placed upon me. Recently I was able to obtain the HOPE scholarship; however, I have come to understand that this scholarship only pays for a small percentage of my tuition. I am also inching closer to obtaining my degree and will need to be able to pay for my graduation dues. I also have to pay for books as well as be able to live comfortably. While my father does have a decent job and can provide for his family, he also has a younger son that will be going off to college in the fall. He cannot afford to send both my brother and I to school without eventually leading towards debt. Therefore, I am extremely in need of this scholarship for school. If this

As a student from DC public school, I never thought I would have the confidence to go after the number one scholarship in the nation. Thank you for staying up until mid night while being pregnant and writing my recommendations for the so many scholarships and schools that I have applied to. Because of you, not only I managed to attend a great school like the University of Virginia but I managed to graduate in 2012 with debt free. Since then, I worked at the National Institute of Health; got my Masters of Physician Assistance from Howard University and now I am working as a PA for a private practice. Words cannot express how thankful I am for what you have done for me. Simply, thank you. If you need any medical consult let me

I plan on pursuing a career in biomedical engineering, and I will need to attend graduate school in order to have the proper education for a future career as a prosthesis. This scholarship would allow me to receive the necessary education to be successful. I am currently very involved in a winter guard program, dance classes for over six hours a week, and a rigorous school schedule. With my busy schedule, it has been very hard for me to fit in a regular work schedule, so I have not been able to save a substantial amount money for college.
