Social Worker Scholarship

It is my great pleasure to recommend Denise Perez-Viveros for The Salvation Army Women’s Scholarship. I am the pastor of the church she attends. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for several years.

I am applying to Jassac Charitable Foundation Scholarship. I have big dreams to fill when it comes to my future aspirations as a social worker. I have known since I was about the age twelve that I wanted a career in the helping profession. My mother always opened our home to the homeless and unfortunate. I have an aunt and uncle who are social workers and has spent the majority of their life serving the unjust population. Also, growing up I saw my mother struggle as a single parent so that her family can have basic human needs. This situation, assist me to see that women, minors, and the elderly population need someone to advocate for them so that they can empower themselves and progress to better choices.

If awarded this scholarship some of the financial strain that I will encompass this semester will be removed. It will allow some helps to not only myself a full time student who works part time to help pay for things like rent, transportation and other incidentals but also my parents who are apart of the working class and while supporting me through college paying for everything; books, rent, tuition, transportations, incidentals, also have my three siblings who are all high school and middle school aged. In addition to this they also support my elderly grand mother and great aunt so any financial help that will not only allow me to focus more on my studies by eliminating debt but also allow my parents to be able to spend their funds else where by eliminating financial strain is always

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

This scholarship would not only represent a financial help in paying my college tuition, it would also give me hope and motivation making me believe that I can do everything once I put my mind to it. It would give a stronger structure to my future career’s foundation, making it reliable and promising with every step I take to build my ladder higher and higher. This scholarship would serve as a scaffolding: whenever my ladder attempts to fall or lose its strength and balance somehow, this scholarship would remind me that I am not alone, there are people who care to help, who stand by my side and encourage me to keep that ladder standing straight and strong. I would see this scholarship as my first great achievement on my way in becoming a neuropsychologist.

Though many people may apply for this scholarship, I should be considered as a viable candidate due to my high academic standings, volunteer work, and my personality. First, I am in the top ten percent of my class and love to learn. My academic standings show that I am willing to take hard classes and can pass them when I set my mind to it. In college, I hope to take difficult classes because I love pushing myself to be better in every way possible. Secondly, I give a good chunk of my time volunteering. For the past three years in school, I went down to the special need classroom as a Peer Mentor. I’ve spent well over 100 hours in the classroom and close to another 100 helping them outside of school. I also have volunteered with the Westmoreland

This scholarship would make my life a little easier. I am not qualified for a grant. Although, i have a full time job, it is not enough for rent and food. I am also going through a divorce which is making it difficult to be a financially stable. This scholarship would make my dream of teaching a reality. I am ready to work hard getting my degree and showing my family that it is possible to finish college even if one started from the bottom.

This scholarship has offered me a tremendous amount of assistance over the past year. The death of my father was not easy on my family. Not only did I lose my father, I lost the backbone to my family who was financially caring for my family. To lessen the burden on my mother, I was able to use some of the funds from the scholarship to tackle some financial complications during the year. As this scholarship assists with the financial portion of my college career, I was able to focus on my education and

I have encountered with financial difficulties since I started classes. Although I received financial aid and federal loans, they are not enough to cover my tuition and school expenses. I’ am working eleven hours a week as a tutor at South University; I have been still unable to afford tuition payment. Receiving this scholarship will enable me to continue to make progress toward my degree. I’ am also decided to work as much as I can to become a nurse practitioner so that I can perform tasks as a professional and help to save everyone’s life.

In a normal school, Social work masters degrees are a qualification program that's available to students who are buying a way to boost their career. Those that sign up for Social work masters degrees programs must, at some true point, decide the precise area of social work they'll give attention to and the precise group they'll focus on in their job, whether it is specific types of people, agencies or groups.

I would be honored to receive your scholarship, and if selected, it would put me one step closer to my goal of becoming a biomedical engineer. I feel i deserve this scholarship because I am a very hard worker, extremely focused, and a determined student which is proven by my academic accomplishments throughout my school years. I have always enjoyed dedicating my time to helping others, whether it is reading to a group of children, taking care of injured animals, driving my grandma to her doctor's appointments, or working with my family at our local food bank. The money that I would receive from this scholarship will not be wasted or unappreciated; it will all go to my studies and allow me to attend an out-of-state college that specializes

With this scholarship, I will be able to go to college to study an art major. I will be able to follow my passion to hopefully one-day reach my ultimate goal, happiness. As I have learned from many of my past experiences, my goal will not be achieved easily but the financial support of this scholarship will put me one step closer towards reaching my goal.

I deserve this scholarship because I really want to make a difference in someone's life. The more fiances that I am able to collect for my undergraduate degree will allow me to spend more money on in medical school and other things that I need to become a pediatric psychiatrist. I am fully aware that this scholarship will not pay for everything that I need in college but it will definitely help. I have two siblings and we are all exactly twenty-two months apart from each other. That is not a lot of time apart and it is crucial that I get as much financial assistance as possible.

With my mom being single, it is hard enough--financial burdens infiltrate everything and can be a real strain on family life. If I do receive this scholarship it will alleviate this stress significantly. If I was awarded this scholarship, I would be able to put that money towards tuition for school which would greatly help cut the cost of attendance. I couldn't think of a better school to attend to attain my degree and pursue my career. In addition, I will represent your program well during my years in college and beyond. Thank you in advance for your
