Ocean County University Scholarship Analysis

My mother has raised my brother and myself as a single parent since the divorce. She has also taken on the responsibility of taking care of her mother after some major health issues depleted her ability to care for herself. Our family has struggled financially with this one income issue causing difficulty to provide just the basic needs. My brother is currently attending Florida Atlantic University, and although my mother helps as much as she can, he has to obtain loans just to survive. I know that my mother will not have the ability to help me through college, so I am doing whatever I can do to eliminate the financial road block that is standing in my way to reach my career goal. Receiving a scholarship would help facilitate my ability to focus on my education instead of focusing on the ability to pay for

I also know every college is expensive and in order to lower the amount of money being paid students get financial aid help. My parents would help me pay for my school.

My family has also been placed in a difficult financial situation due to my father losing his job in the oil industry, last August. This lead my family to move from Oklahoma after he found a job in South Carolina.

When I first started school at Hillsborough Community College, I worked two part-time jobs to pay tuition while maintaining a full time course load. As graduation approached I knew that the decision to further my education would require more time and funds. While short on money, I still decided to transfer from Hillsborough Community College to the University of South Florida to further my education in Social Work with a minor in Public Health. I personally believe that education is an investment in yourself that is certainly worthwhile.

Receiving a Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship would mean that I would get a chance to achieve my dream of being able to help others. What I like about attending IRSC is that I can fully dedicate my energy to getting my education because I know that all my classes are paid for, with the help of financial aid. Attending a public university would mean that I'd be paying no less than double the amount I am currently paying to attend Indian River State College. So when asked what it would mean to me if I were to receive a Phi Theta Kappa scholarship it would mean one less thing to worry about and more time to focus on my goals and the opportunity to further both my career and my education without the stress of wondering how much debt I'll be in once I

I have always been concerned about having scholarships, but not until recently have I ever been frightened that I may not be able to to become a student at Southern due to money. In August of this year my dad broke his foot on the job. As a UPS freight driver that worked a ton of overtime and my mom being a substitute teacher, my parents were making a decent amount of money to raise all four kids including myself. My parents have always been determined to send each of their kids to school due to my dad not having that opportunity. He worked a lot of overtime to make sure that he could save money for our college, but he was already concerned about how much it was going to be. After his accident, Workers’ Comp put him on medical leave until the doctors said otherwise. During this time our income became half of what it originally was. Complications arose with the injury, but my father was finally able to go back to work this January after being out since August. Through this time, my need for scholarships became even more important especially since I was unable to qualify for a grant due to fafsa looking at last year’s income. Luckyday would not only be a program that helps me reach out to those at school and in my community, but it would give me a chance to study a major that I am passionate
