Nontraditional Student Scholarships

Doing service our community is a big part of our school. For religion class we have to do service for our community.

The agency I participated at for my ten hours of service learning this semester was the Plain City food pantry. The food pantry is located on 156 W Main St, Plain City, OH 43064. There are many people that run this agency. A couple names are Phyllis and Jane. I participated March 2nd from 9:30 to 11:30, March 3rd from 9:00 to 12:00, April 4th, from 9:30 to 11:30 and April 6th from 9:00 to 12:00.

In the past two years, I've had the privilege of volunteering at the "Ready for School" event at Faith Lutheran Church in Arlington Heights. Ready for School, or more commonly known as "Backpack Day", is an event where Arlington Heights school districts and other community members help fund to purchase school supplies for under privileged students in Arlington Heights. In addition, on the day of the event there are multiple community services, such as the police and fire departments, the library and park district in attendance to help families understand the resources they offer. The numbers of families and students that attend increase each year, this year with over 600 backpacks.

The idea that I am currently working on is recreating the Helping Hampers project mentioned above due to the large impact it has on multiple families. The hampers contain around 3 months of food and cleaning supplies in addition to presents for each family member. This project connects CKI here to a Key Club in Centennial to its feeder junior high schools which is what makes it great. CKI organizes the dates, delivery and boxes, while the collection of items occurs in high school ( I am planning with Centennial High School right now). And then, the hampers are delivered to junior high schools.

Reviewing the operations of the organization shaped my perception of what is being provided to who, first hand, and under what stipulations. Working with the mailing project I found that quarterly, each donor is sent an informative letter updating them on events and giving opportunity to contribute to a supportive cause. In full circle donating to the cause helps those less fortunate individuals, keep up with the status quo in society and pay their fair contribution into the community, balancing the economic structure. Following the mailing was the food bank, sorting donated: food, baby formula, and other grocery items. Every two weeks a family has the opportunity to go shopping in the store with these items. The last objective of my volunteer work was the most informally beneficial, consisting of working with the database of the organization. When each person came in for the provided support, I was prompted to take their ID and enter it into the system. Based on when they came in last I gave them instructions on what action they take next. The options provided was to fill out a request form if they qualify or sent up to the front desk for further information. The request form for that day listed: baby formula, food, diapers and other related items, which is documented each visit. As for being sent to the front desk

The event that the club chose to highlight is their Community Thanksgiving Dinner held each November to serve between 50-150 community members a free delicious holiday meal. To make this event happen the students have to plan the date and venue, advertise in the newspaper and around town, organize who

Our recipients frequently include schools and community centers, at risk and homeless youth, mentoring groups, art therapy and special education programs, and other nonprofit organizations in need, with an emphasis on diverse populations of vulnerable youth in underserved communities.

Finding scholarships can be a challenge. As an adult learner, it may seem like there isn’t anything left to help you as you go back to learn. However, there are plenty of scholarship and funding opportunities available for non-traditional students. You just need to know where to look.

My name is Lucretia Dixon and I am the Children’s and youth director for my church. I was wondering if we could volunteer as a group at the food bank. There will be about 15- 20 participants that would help out. Some of our youth need community service hours for college credits. Please let me know if this is something that our outreach ministry can participate in.

Each year, the Davey Foundation, of Davey Tree, strives to give more than they did the year before.

The Community of Character committee recognizes exemplary individuals and organizations in the community who demonstrate responsibility, compassion, self‐discipline, honesty, respect and integrity. Select high school students will also be honored with Juanita Haugen Community of Character Scholarships.

My brother, AJ, is extremely determined. He wanted to go to college on a scholarship. He worked hard and achieved this goal. He received a scholarship for both track and academics. He graduated from Montclair State University (MSU) in 2014. Now, he is in his second year of graduate school at Rutgers University. For as long as I have known him, he has always been focused

June 2015, Deer Park, TX – Annually Shell Federal Credit Union awards John Garrison College Scholarships to deserving seniors. This year the students were required to write a 250 word essay on what the difference between a bank and a credit union and why a young adult would use a credit union over a bank for their future needs. Other criteria such as GPA, community involvement, extracurricular activities and volunteer hours play a factor in scoring to award the scholarships.

This $500.00 scholarship was awarded to students with good academic standing and a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher.

It sounds like your family’s financial circumstances have changed. You can submit an appeal for extenuating circumstances that will prevent them from covering your educational expenses at LMU. Please review the 3 page appeal form and provide as much supporting documentation as you can. Appeals take 10-30 business days to be reviewed, and there is no guarantee that they will be approved. Students whose appeals are approved typically receive up to $5,000 in non-renewable LMU Grants. Even if your appeal is approved, your cost of attendance will not be fully covered.
