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.

The scholarship would help me pay for other classes that could help me study and improve my education in college. If I win this scholarship it would improve my mental focus in college. Thinking that if I can win this scholarship, I know I can graduate college. What I mean by this is if you have the patience and integrity to apply for this scholarship, you should have the will to graduate college. Also, if you want to strive for a scholarship such as this one, you should have the intention that you can graduate and college should not be that hard, if you work hard enough.

This scholarship would financially support me each quarter with my educational expenses, such as books and any other supplies needed. In my past education, Math has always been my strongest subject. I chose Accounting as my major because I love numbers and I consider myself. I plan on obtaining a job in Tax Accounting as my first goal after graduation.

If given the opportunity to study for my profession without financial concerns, I would not disappoint. I will use the funds for my college expenses towards my future therapeutic ranch. The impact of this scholarship will allow me to begin my ranch not for myself, but the many children in need of a haven to call their

The success in my first semester of college wouldn’t nearly be what it is if it wasn’t for my involvement in the TRIO Student Support Services program. They have provided me multiple tools, both online and in-person, to ensure a healthy and smooth transition into collegiate life.

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

When committees are deciding who to gift scholarship money to, I can assume that they want their funds to go towards someone who will take complete advantage of the prize; whether the funds go towards buying a much-needed laptop or a philosophy book, we are an investment. Because of the opportunities given to me throughout high school, I can say with confidence

A $3,000 scholarship for education will make a major difference in my life. Pursuing a college education has always seemed like a dream that I always wished I could embark on, and getting $3,000 will ignite me to continue persevering for that dream. This scholarship will encourage me to keep on finding more scholarships and applying to them, because I know I have the capability to earn them. The most beneficial thing I could get, is gaining some financial relief that I will be able to pay for some of my college tuition with this

One of the interview questions for the coordinators asked for their definition of a successful TRIO Program. Both answers revolved around the idea of making TRIO services available for those students who at risk of falling through the cracks. Considering that TRIO participants are primarily first-generation students, both coordinators expressed the need to provide guidance at every stage of the students’ education. The goal of TRIO in one of the coordinators’ words, is to “provide the students with resources that they don’t already have… it’s just a matter of reaching into that population that isn’t taken into account because they are not exceling and are not an A+ student”.

I know the importance of stepping up and being a leader to others and how it’s just as important to be listen to what others are saying and play the role of the follower. In the past few years I was manager/captain of the tennis team, a freshman mentor, a National Honors Society and student government member, and a part of the Association of Pre-Medical Students at my University. All these experiences have contributed to who I am today and how I am able to give back to my community. I hope to meet others in this program who have have stories to share about themselves as well so that we are all able to learn and grow from each

Receiving this scholarship would not only mean a lot to myself but to my family also. I think I have worked hard all year in order to receive this and it will benefit my financial aid greatly. This scholarship would mean that all the hard work has really paid off, especially my family who has been supporting me from the beginning. If received this scholarship, it is not about money for me. It tells me that I am seen as having potential, for the future in the society and nursing program.

This scholarship would help me affirm that my hard work is being recognized and rewarded. Therefore, I would be incentivized to continue my education with the same amount of passion and interest. Getting the scholarship would show me that aiming for academic excellence and achieving that goal is valued and will not go unnoticed. Another important way this scholarship would affect my education is by easing some of the financial burden of my college tuition off my parents. Frankly, it would also make me feel happy knowing that my own achievements helped pay for part of my college fess. This would encourage me to keep pursing my interests in higher education like getting a master’s degree. It would also make me feel less guilty for pursuing a
