Personal Statement: Gaining A Scholarship

I work hard for what I want and what that is now is to get a college degree from Marshall University. I believe I should be selected to receive this scholarship because not only am La dedicated student academically, I am also devoted to helping my community through community service. I hope that I will be able to use my education to give back to my community in someway. Education is a major key to success not only in the workforce but in life in general, because it is the one thing that no one can take away from me. To receive this scholarship would give be a greater chance to be successful in my

I believe that I should be awarded this scholarship because I come from a background in which my parents did not go far with education. This has made life hard for my family and myself. My mother is unable to work because she is dealing with multiple sicknesses and my father, who was our main source of income, passed away. My parent both put a lot of pressure on me to get a good education, but we lack the funds to make my dreams of becoming a doctor a reality. If I am awarded this scholarship, I would be so grateful and it would not go to waste.

I should receive this scholarship because I'm willing to work hard to get anything in life. My whole life I have worked hard

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

I should be the recipient of this scholarship because I have worked hard throughout my high school career so that I could be accepted in to the college of my choice and pursue a career in nursing. Since I have been accepted to my chosen college, I am now trying to pay for my college education with the fewest amount of student loans possible. With the help of this scholarship I would be able to take some of the stress of paying for college off of my parents and I.

I’d like to take the opportunity in expressing my gratitude for the generous scholarship. It is an honor being a recipient for this scholarship as it is a major support towards my higher education. I would like to thank you for acknowledging my hard work and dedication as a student and volunteer in various programs and events.

Throughout high school, I always envisioned myself majoring in International Business and achieving the highest degree in that field. But, this past year and a half, along with the tense political season made me realize my true passion for politics. After thinking about it restlessly, I decided that it majoring in Political Science would be the most interesting and beneficial for me and my future.

I believe that I deserve this scholarship because I have dedicated my life to helping anyone and everyone I can. Starting in middle school I worked very closely with The Town of North Hempstead in all and any volunteer opportunities they offered. In 9th grade I was given the chance to help out at ht e local library, then at the school library, and have set up sessions where high school students read to the kids in elementary school. 10th grade I continued with these endeavors. In 11th grade I realized I wasn't doing enough to help, so I joined up with Shoes for Harvest. This organization collects shoes and distributes them to people who are in need. Working with them we collected over 1500 pairs of shoes, which is more then they had done in

When I was young, my father instilled in me the value of an education. Education is the tool for success. Without an education, you will hinder yourself in the opportunities to learn valuable skills.

I believe I should receive this scholarship because of my dedication to my schoolwork. I have gone through many obstacles to continue my education. My hard work in the past years proves how well I will work in the years to come. I hope to work even harder. This scholarship will help me continue my education.

I feel that I would be a worthy recipient of this scholarship because I am a hardworking and dedicated student. Over my high school years I have been able to make the honor roll every quarter. I have also taken many challenging courses which shows that I do not take the easy way out. Apart from being hardworking, I try to be kind and helpful towards people as well. This can be seen through my volunteering activity. Throughout my high school career, I have volunteered over 150 hours all around the community through Key Club. If I receive this scholarship, it will not only help me but the community as well. This is because it will allow me to become a Medical Technologist which will then give me the ability to save the lives of others in the

I have four main goals: never have any debt, help pay for my three nieces’ and two nephews’ college expenses, give my time and money to society and be successful in a graphic design career. Financial resources are limited with my family of ten living on one income. This makes it hard to not have any debt while in college. Winning this scholarship will minimize the amount of student loans I would need to take out for living and educational expenses. Having less debt will allow me to put more money into my nieces’ and nephews’ college savings.

I got 99 problems and money is all of them. In other words, I don’t have the resources to pay for my college. I want to be able to pay for my college by myself. I don’t want my parents to be concerned about my college fees. Even though my parents work very hard, they have bills to pay, and feed my three siblings and myself. As a result, this doesn’t leave enough money for my parents. Sometimes, we just have enough money to buy food for ourselves and gas for our transportation. In addition,I work and I try to help my parents. Yet, some of that money goes into my saving for college. Still, it's not nearly enough to pay my first year tuition. Therefore, I’m applying for scholarship assistance in order for me to afford and obtain a higher

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.

The main reason is because I am in need of it if I want to graduate with no loans. To have that gratification of paying college simultaneously would be a dream. I am currently doing work study where I am only allowed to work 7 hours a week with minimum wage. For that I am grateful because I am able to be flexible with my schedule, as well as receive some money based on my efforts. I live in the campus, therefore I am a traditional student in which I am required to fulfill more credit hours than most students who are fleer. I also want this scholarship because I have hope that I capable of winning
