Summer Scholars Scholarship

I am interested in attending the USNA summer STEM program because I have the desire to one day attend the United States Naval Academy and for my love of science, biology in particular. I believe that gaining the exposure to the academy's campus and the various STEM activities provided will cause me to become even more determined in reaching my goals. I also bring the aspect of military lifestyle and the long term future goal of becoming an officer in the United States Navy into my reason of interest in the program. I would be very proud and honored to graduate from the academy and go on to serve in the United States Navy, fighting for, and retaining the freedom many before me have fought to gain and protect. In potentially increasing my knowledge

I would like to pursue a career as an architectural drafter and a drafting engineer. The Prairie Meadows Scholarship would help me financially and it would make it easier to pay off student loans after college. This is my dream job. I love taking architectural and engineer drafting classes at school. My parents always told me to get a job that I would enjoy so I would be happy to go to work. Architecture is something that I enjoy doing and would like to make a career out of.

I desire acceptance into Virginia Space Coast Scholars (VSCS) Program to expand my knowledge horizons, and to take advantage of this learning opportunity. As a VSCS participant, I would gain experience in significant fields of study affecting the world in which we live. In junction with the great prestige of this program it would help me in my application for college, and it will enrich my overall education. I believe that I will be successful given that I have the am a fast learner. My core strengths academically, are Math and Science without a doubt. Technology has become more integrated in the lives of society. These are all reasons why a student such as I would find it necessary to be adept with these instruments of the digital age. I present myself as a strong candidate due to the fact that I would be motivated and excel as hands-on, kinesthetic learning teaches with exceptional results.

The reason as to why I am applying for this summer program is because of the opportunity that it provides. Programs such as these gives the unique opportunity to explore multiple different career paths. But, not only does it provide a learning opportunity, it also allows a cultural one. Being able to travel and live in a foreign country at such a young age is one of the most memorable and amazing things that you can do. I believe that if accepted into this program, that I will do my very best to prove myself dedicated as a student because I want to spend my life learning and preparing myself for the real world as a careered woman. I have not yet solidified what I would like to be in the future, but as of this moment, I hope to possibly become

There are many reasons why I want to attend this year's Student Diversity Leadership Conference. As I am part of the SOC at Dexter Southfield, we have many discussions on diversity, beauty standards, stereotypes, and what it means to be a student of color. I think it would be great to be part of SDLC with a bigger community and have conversations that aren't talked on the daily or not well addressed.

There are many valuable aspects to living in a diverse community, but the most valuable to me is the wide range of perspectives on world problems, and local situations. With a more diverse student body, People will bring new insights and ideas that others may not have thought of. It can also educate people about cultures, traditions, and backgrounds other than my own. This can be very helpful because with the knowledge of another culture,

As a member of several clubs and organizations, I have always valued the wide range of people you can find within the walls of my high school. If you walk into my Physics lab, you will find me collaborating with a dancer strongly involved in his cultural heritage and a volleyball player in the engineering academy. If you come to my Calculus class, you will see me calculating derivatives with a football player, a snowboarder, a National Honor Society officer, and a painter. The word “diversity” is often used to describe a cross-cultural population, but it is so much more than that. At Bartlett High School, students originate from hundreds of different cultures, with an abundance interests, and participate together in an assortment of activities.

It’s not a rodeo without the cowgirl boots, carnival games, and fried Oreos. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has become an integral part of our family tradition. From the extensively planned events to the organization's generous support for higher education, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is the epitome of what makes Texans so great. When I applied for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, I was nervous because I knew it was a very competitive applicant pool. But, I was relieved when I discovered that I was selected to receive the metropolitan scholarship. Thanks to the help of my donor Scott Bowen, in memory of Frank L. Tucker, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo I was able to cover most of my tuition expenses at the University of Houston.

I have always been interested in science as it constantly teaches me the small details like how and why a particular problem works, which is perfect for an analytical person like me. The James Scholar program will fulfill my curiosity for science by making me more globally involved through study abroad programs. The LAS honors study abroad programs can help me become well-rounded in multiple facets of study, not just biology. I am able to make a positive impact in underdeveloped communities where I can volunteer in free clinics and improve the quality of medical care through knowledge I was able to gain by being an LAS James Scholar. Overall, I have decided to apply to be an LAS James Scholar because I hope to make the most out of my college experience. I want to be encompassed in an environment that fosters advanced intellectual growth, helps built a strong base for lifelong learning, and makes me a better global citizen who is able to contribute to my

I am interested in the SCI Scholar Internship Program. I believe I will be a strong candidate for this program with my experiences and leadership positions. Unfortunately. I do not meet the 3.5 GPA requirement. I do have a 3.25 gpa and I believe that I am at a disadvantage with grades due to UCLA's grades deflation. Also, my first years at UCLA I suffered with low gpa because I was prepared for UCLA's competitive nature. The last few quarters I maintain a GPA higher than a 3.5 in upper divisions and got Dean's list due to my 4.0 GPA.

The thrill of moving out for college, the new profound independence that one encounters once they indulge themselves in the undergraduate experience is something I’m yet to experience. ASU recommends every Freshman to live on campus at least their first year of college and to join various clubs and organizations in order to fully enhance the undergraduate experience. Unfortunately, I couldn’t partake in that tradition, due to financial problems, I haven’t yet had the privilege of living on campus. Throughout my undergraduate career thus far, not living on campus has been a huge burden that often prevents me from being able to attend beneficial events that will help me in my future. If I’m selected into the McCord Scholars Program, it will greatly

In the Past year I have played basketball with Indians, tasted Korean barbeque, spoken with albinos, and learned what LGBT stood for. Coming from a town that lacked diversity, if you would have told me I would have done these things I wouldn’t have believed you. In my hometown, most people had shared experiences and opinions. Then I came to NCSSM, where everyone has a different story and background. This gave me the opportunity to see other people’s viewpoints, and the conversations I had with the other students caused me to think about why I had the opinions that I had. It gave me the opportunity to try new things. Not only does NCSSM have all these different backgrounds, the discussion of those backgrounds is encouraged, both directly using

I am interested in participating in the Bridge Scholars program because I will gain experience, as I want be to prepare me for the fall semester by taking these college level classes. Also, this program will provide me with financial aid because I have not been able to work due to my current education and extracurricular activities. I will gain long lasting friendships and will be able to grow and learn from myself with all the activities we will do. As I am a intervent person this will be an immense opportunity to open up and interact with the other scholars. This is an amazing opportunity because not only will I have the chance to receive college credit, but will have an experience that I will have no place other, making friends, preparation

I am applying for the Summer Session internship at Lapham's Quarterly. I have a passion for history, am conversant with the history of ideas, and experienced in writing and publication. Lapham's philosophy of using history as an instructive guide to the challenges of the present is consistent with my own. Working for Lapham's would be an excellent opportunity for me to apply my skill set and verve, learn, and contribute to a proper appreciation of history.
