Personal Statement : Foundation Scholarship

I am applying for the Insurance Studies Scholarship as a demonstration of my commitment to the Risk Management and Insurance profession. Upon entering college I knew I wanted to study business because I have a logical thought process. My career focus was further fine-tuned last semester when I took Business Statistics, SCMA 301 with Professor Custer. I found the class enjoyable, in addition to being fascinated by calculating probability. Furthermore, it sparked my interest in studying Risk Management and Insurance.

This scholarship would greatly aid in my ambition to become a Dental Hygienist. With it, I will be able to afford to attend the University of Arkansas in Fort Smith and to provide myself with the lifestyle that I want. It means that I will make my parents proud that their child has achieved her life goal.

These Scholarships could truly help me in a great way. Both my sisters have been in college for the past two years, one being in it for four. It has caused some cut backs to be done over the past years. Along with that, my family has gone through many financial issues and setbacks. With this scholarship, it could help me to lessen my thoughts

I am the cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track team captain. I participate in the Pennypack creek clean up where I provide my service to the community to help make the creek clean and safe. After high school I plan on attending Moravian College for 4-5 years where I will double major in criminology and political science. After college I hope to join the Philadelphia Police Department to become an officer and better the city. This scholarship would mean a lot to me. As a former Pennypack student I love the community and any chance I get I help out. This scholarship would help with my academic need and give me the tools to better myself and be able to help more people down the line.

“I have a dream that one day I will overcome the struggles that I have faced living in a poverty-stricken community.”

From my first T-Ball team to my senior year track club, the comradery and confidence I have gained from competing on numerous sports teams has made an enormous impact on my life. Growing up, I went to a very small Catholic school. With less than 100 students in the entire school district. In third grade, our family moved to Manteno. Where each grade level had at least 120 students. Baseball and Basketball were crucial for me in my early years. It was how I became acquainted with most of my friends growing up in Manteno. If it wasn’t for competing on a team, I would have stayed timid for the rest of my life. With the confidence sports have gave me, I have been able to challenge myself to experience the world and all

I think I would be a good recipient for this scholarship. Due to my academic achievements and because my parents moved to the United States to give their children a better life and education. With this, my parents have instilled in me a dream to graduate college and become successful. My mother is always telling me how she wants me to do something great with my life, and she keeps on encouraging me to get through college even if money is tight. She reminds me and my siblings that we can never give up and that we have to push forward because she has sacrificed so much so we can be where we are now. I am extremely grateful to Rich Mountain Community College for providing concurrent college classes at Wickes/Cossatot River High School because it gave me a great opportunity to get ahead in college. I currently, have 53 hours, and I currently hold a 3.2 GPA this semester. This has not been easy, since I work part time, but it does show me I am capable of doing it. With personal commitment and determination, I know I have the power to excel in my all classes.

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.

I am a homemaker who is striving to finish my degree after a 12-year hiatus. I will significantly value the opportunity to spend less time worrying about paying for college and more time completing the coursework.

I am applying for this scholarship because i need the money for school. My mom do not have money to pay for me to go to college and i understand that but I am applying for every scholarship that i can to help pay for my college. I want to further my education to help my mom out but if I dont get any scholarships to help pay for college then I want be to attend a college this fall.

I believe that I am a good candidate for scholarships because I have been working extremely hard throughout my high school career, even going as far as relieving myself from some extra-curricular activities so that I could continue focusing on putting my grades first. Unless I am okay with ending up at LSU, which I am most certainly not, scholarships are the only chance I have of going out of state to attend the college of my choice, which is Auburn. I knew that Auburn was the perfect school for me when I visited the campus for a tour. I feel that its student body size is just right for me, and I think that I would fit in perfectly with the general atmosphere that the campus gives off. However, becoming an Auburn Tiger will not be possible

This scholarship, for me, is not the end but the beginning. My parents are hard-working individuals who left everything in China for me to have a shot at the American Dream. Seeing them come home each day tired all because of me gives me an uneasy feeling. Whether that feeling is purely sympathy or colored by a nuance of gratitude, it has shaped me into who I am. I'm grateful that my parents offered me this opportunity, and I am determined to be the first in my family to come home with a college degree. This scholarship will certainly open a doorway of opportunity lifting off my financial burden. What this scholarship will impact is my mentality to work even harder and at the same time focus more on my education. I have set myself a goal —my future. Now, I am will to take a leap of faith across the abyss toward my notion of success and what I need is this determination and a departing

A $3,000 scholarship would mean so much to my family and I. I am the second oldest of 6 children in my household and we aren't the wealthiest family. Therefore, they do not have enough money to pay for not only my college, but my siblings college education as well. Although, my parents still do their very best to give us a good education and raise us in a financially comfortable environment. While $3,000 is not going to pay for my full college experience, my parents have taught me that every little bit counts. I am determined to pay for my college education so I can create a brighter future for myself and inspire my younger siblings, that look up to me, to do the same. While I am very grateful for what I already have in my life, I still need

My parents have always encouraged me to strive to be my best self. They've always wanted me to attend college so that I could follow my dream of going to medical school to become a physician. This scholarship would not only help pay for college expenses, but encourage me to succeed.

Took me well over 10 years to finally get my life back on track after a messy marriage and struggling with being a mother of a special need child. With having no help, while my first husband was always gone and serving our country over a span of 8 years. It took me over 4 years to
