Merit 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.

National Honor Society is more than a club I am apart of, it has given me the motivation to strive to keep my grades at a certain level, keep up with community service, treat others with respect, and also conduct myself in a mature manner. The National Honor Society Scholarship would help fund my schooling at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City, Florida.

By receiving the McCoole VFW Auxiliary Scholarship, it will help me achieve my future goals of attending Frostburg State University to start my long journey in getting my Ph.D. in psychology. I will have to go to college for a minimum of eight years to achieve this goal. Or after my four years at Frostburg State University I will attend a Medical School to complete four more years in order to become a Psychiatrist. Either decision will enable me to go and pay for eight years of college. So by obtaining this scholarship, I will be able to start paying for this opportunity. I have always dreamed of helping people and being able to make a difference in people’s lives. My dream is to get a career in psychology and either become a psychiatrist

I am honored to submit my candidacy for consideration as one of the two recipients of the Phi Theta kappa Gold Scholarship. I believe that my excellent academic record and active involvement in Phi Theta kappa both locally and regionally makes me a good candidate for the scholarship.

Last year I had the tremendous opportunity to receive the O’Brate Scholarship and it has indubitably influenced my college experience for the better. Let me tell you, college courses are a completely different ball game than those given at high school: with that being said, no longer was just going to class and listening to the instructor enough to get an A in the class. It required me to approach this new study regime with a more methodical and effective form of work and study. Practice and time has proven key to succeeding in the college world, but it doesn’t and shouldn’t take away the significance of being financially covered and stable throughout the year. The O’Brate Scholarship has been a pivotal component into making my college transition

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

I am applying for the Twin Star Scholarship because I have recently returned to college. Currently, in my family, including myself, there are four college students. One of the main reasons that I have hesitated in returning back to school to pursue my bachelor’s degree is because of the financial strain that will be placed on my family finances. I have always felt that it would be responsible to wait until my family is in a better financial place before going back to school. The reality is, college tuition is expensive and it will put a strain on our family finances no matter when I decide to go back. Receiving this scholarship will help alleviate a portion of that family financial strain that tuition, books, and fees will

Since as far back as I can remember, I have loved animals; especially cats and dogs. At first, I wanted to work as a cashier at Petsmart. As I aged, I realized it’s very difficult to make a good living as a cashier anywhere. I set my sights a little bit higher: Becoming a veterinarian. Ever since I made this decision in elementary school, I have worked exceptionally hard to achieve this goal. I recently graduated high school as a valedictorian in a class of nearly 400. Through my senior year of high school, I shadowed at my local veterinary clinic to better understand what I will be doing for the rest of my life. The experience just made me even surer that helping animals is definitely what I want to do for my career.

Struggling in school forced me to come out of my comfortable zone in the classroom and outside of school. My work experience and my volunteer work have opened my eyes on how much I want to people in the future. Therefore, deciding on majoring in psychology and possibility becoming an occupational therapist one day has made want to work harder in school. The educational process is the gasoline in my vehicle. Education is what fuels my dreams. I have grown a lot as a person while attending Diablo Valley College. It is not only what I learn in the classroom but all the other resources that continue to help me become the best student that I can be. It is so important that I continuing attending college and get a degree because the school was my number obstacle growing up. I came along way from being a struggling student to become a striving one. One of my goals growing up was to graduate college because I never thought it would be possible for me. I am confident as I continue to pursue my educational goals; I will continue to become the best person I can be and in the future give back to the community more. One of my goals in the future is to help minority students who have a learning disability to succeed in school and help them further their education. This scholarship is very important me because my parents were not able to save money for my college education. Recently, my mom job was terminated late last year which was

I believe a Hawk Honors Scholarship will help me achieve my goals. I am very passionate in the field of psychology and hope to help as many people possible with the gift of knowledge, empathy, and acceptance. If I were to be awarded this scholarship, I would be able to more easily be able to use these gifts to further help those who are hurting. I will be working towards not only a bachelors and masters, but also eventually a doctorate in Psychology. I know this is what I want to do with my life because helping people is all I have ever done and wanted to

My parents have always told me to follow my dreams, for it will make me happy and lead me to success. The phrase my parents always told me seems to have a loop hole. Being a veterinarian or a veterinary technician is not all fun and games; it can really put a hole in a student's pocket. It does cause happiness and success when getting to save and improve the health of animals, but it does not improve a student’s college debt. Today, many veterinary students have said that it is not worth going to veterinary school, and many animal science majors have a hard decision in determining if vet school is the right choice for them due to the financial burden it comes with.

For some reason, English and history were the only subjects I enjoyed. These areas appeared to be open-ended whereas math and science required higher-order thinking. Likewise, I never excelled in those subjects. Nonetheless, not being good in math or science should not exclude me from applying for the Graduate Student Achiever Scholarship. This scholarship is not solely based on academic achievement so I do meet the criteria. In any case, I have made the honor roll before!

I am writing my appeal for the Merit Scholarship for the upcoming Fall 2015-2016 semester at Dillard University.

This SPIROL scholarship would mean a lot to me. If I received this scholarship it would signify that all my hard work during the summers, during school, and after school has paid off. It would reassure me that my extensive hours of summer volunteering, working long hard weeks, and staying after school to help the clubs I was a member of, were worth it. It would also ensure I’d be able to follow my dreams and become an extraordinary engineer I’ve been planning to be. Likewise, I would be one step closer to my educational, career, and personal goals.
