Why Are You Applying For A Scholarship?

I believe I should be awarded this scholarship because it takes a lot of courage to apply for these scholarships. It’s hard knowing that there are millions of other kids that could be applying for this scholarship as well and it’s tough trying to prove why I should be awarded. I think it’s difficult for anyone to write why they should be awarded this scholarship because we all are applying for the same reasons.The insane cost of college is what we’re trying to work to lower this is due to people paying for it themselves, parents paying for it, and just trying to limit the amount of loans you’ll have to pay back after. I know by saying this is bit risky but, I would like to be awarded this scholarship to help my parents with paying for college.

Many believe that scholarships can be handed to anyone and don’t understand the effort in receiving one. Though numerous people are qualified for scholarships not everyone can receive one. Taking into consideration of others, I’m not the only one going through a hard time and others who have it worse also want this scholarship as much as I do. I believe I should receive this scholarship because I was involved in many activities, support myself, and have many health expenses.

My mother has raised my brother and myself as a single parent since the divorce. She has also taken on the responsibility of taking care of her mother after some major health issues depleted her ability to care for herself. Our family has struggled financially with this one income issue causing difficulty to provide just the basic needs. My brother is currently attending Florida Atlantic University, and although my mother helps as much as she can, he has to obtain loans just to survive. I know that my mother will not have the ability to help me through college, so I am doing whatever I can do to eliminate the financial road block that is standing in my way to reach my career goal. Receiving a scholarship would help facilitate my ability to focus on my education instead of focusing on the ability to pay for

I would also like to continue on the fact that it would help rid of anxiety and stress. This scholarship would allow me to purchase all of my books, pencils, classes, and other basic needs to go to school. Covering that cost would definitely take away stress, anxiety and heart aches. I would not go into serious debt from college which would help me financially now and

I understand that my family and I are not living below the poverty line or fighting over bus fare, but this scholarship will still greatly benefit me. When my sister filed the FAFSA, she was not given an extraordinary amount of money. She had to take out loans to pay for her education. My family and I cannot afford to take out any more loans. In 2014, we lost our house due to foreclosure. For two years, every penny we earned went to our savings account to save up for a house. When I was fourteen years old, I had saved up five-thousand dollars for college. I decided to give the money to my parents in order to buy our house. I am a senior in high school, and I have not managed to recoup my money. Meanwhile, my parents are tied down to a thirty-year mortgage. In addition, my grandfather, who lives in Mexico, has been diagnosed with depression. My parents have been sending money over there in order to pay for his care and medicine. Trying to find the right treatment for him has made money a bit tight in my household.

As much as the world tries to say that money isn’t everything, money does make certain situations better. I want to ease the burden that my family and I bare in attempting to send me to college. Also scholarships will help me maintain healthy stress levels while I’m in college. I will be able to focus on my studies without the constant stress of how I am going to pay for my tuition. I will be far more motivated, diligent, and disciplined to complete my degree if I have scholarships to support me. Knowing that someone else has placed their confidence in me will give me extra incentive to complete my

I believe that I am a worthy candidate for this scholarship due to my recognition of the financial impact of college. Growing up in a single parent home has been a financially and emotionally difficult feat for my mother and myself. When I was seven years old, my father passed away from a blood clot. During his life, he served in Vietnam, where he was granted a Purple Heart after shattering his kneecap on a landmine. He was on disability, and my mother was employed as a rehabilitation nurse, the only source of income in our family. After his death, my mother and I both began to go to therapy for our grief over losing my father. Focusing on my mental health helped me accept the meaning of death, and struck my motivation to honor my father and ensure that he would be proud of me. When I grew up, we always relied on getting clothes from thrift stores to save money and cutting any unnecessary expenditures. My mother always worked to have enough money for food and comfort. I received monetary Survivor Benefits after his death until my high school graduation this past May. As mentioned before, my mother has Multiple Sclerosis, which is an unfortunately expensive illness. Shortly after her diagnosis, the rehabilitation unit of her work closed and she was left on unemployment right before my sophomore year of high school. I was not old enough to drive or work, so finances were incredibly strict. On my 16th birthday, I attended an orientation to work as a lifeguard at our local YMCA. The next day, I also got my license to eliminate transportation issues. My employment alleviated financial and emotional stress on my mother, as I was able to contribute to the bills and my personal expenses. Throughout my life, my mother has also been very dependent on alcohol to relieve stress. There were numerous times where I

I have a plan for my future, I carry an above average grade point average, and I am active in the community. Due to these reasons, I feel as if I am a prime applicant to obtain scholarship. Gaining scholarship will be a huge relief to my family. At my current status, I was unable to obtain financial aid to cover a certain part of my tuition leaving no choice but to pull long hours at work. Neverless, I am learning valuable time management skills. Even though it is tough to go to school and work both full time, I will do whatever I need to achieve my life

I would like to be considered for an additional scholarship due to not only financial reasons but because I believe I can become a model Honors College student. I'm actively involved in multiple organizations on campus, I work part-time as a student assistant with the Honors College along with making sure I get good grades.

My family has many economic issues but strive to give their children what they need. My mom is senatorial services and my father works as landscaper. Having two parents that work long hours and that have a hard time making ends meet, it makes me realize the importance of scholarships. Because of the fact that we have a full house: my mom, dad, older brother, my other brother, his wife, my sister and my nephew, it is very difficult for me to say that I can get major financial support from my family.

I would use this scholarship to further my education and dream of becoming a surgeon. I have volunteered at St. Anthony Hospital since October 2016 in the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit) and the OR (Operating Room). I have over 500+ hours volunteering and in conjunction with that I have done a 100-hour internship over the summer. In the PACU, I work with nurses and I get to observe patients waking up from surgery. I help the nurses with anything they need like monitoring a patient, getting family members, cleaning bays, and answering phones. I help out in the OR by cleaning and stocking. It is fulfilling not only because I help the nurses out a lot, but also because I have a passion for the medical field. I started volunteering because of my interest in the medical field

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

I believe I should be awarded this scholarship because of the hard work and dedication I put fourth in every school day. My family has just enough money to make it by, living pay check to pay check. I don't like to see my parents struggle and I now have two jobs in order to not take away from the money making ends meet. My economic status doesn't hinder me, it makes me stronger. I know I have to do well in high school and college in order to change standards that my family lives in. Neither of my parents graduated from college and I want to break the cycle not only to make them proud, but to make myself proud. I believe I should be awarded the scholarship because I am not only thinking about futhering myself, I'm thinking about helping my

i currently work 24-30 hours a week while going to school full time. This has been one of the most challenging semesters for me trying to keep up financially and keep up my good grades. I live on my own and pay for my own school and living expenses. This scholarship would help me relieve some of the tension I have for next semester and the following after being that, I wouldn’t have to worry about school expenses.

Applying for scholarships is a crucial step continuing on my journey to higher education. Winning this scholarship would help me attain my goals, by helping me to fulfill the financial requirements. My extenuating circumstances revolve around my single mother’s persistence in raising three children alone. Recently, my father started paying $60 a month (starting in 2012) for child support; however, I currently have zero money for college expenses. My mother hasn't made over $20,000 a year since about 2009. She recently lost her job and I am the only one in a household of four people that’s currently employed. However, my part-time minimum wage isn’t able to go into a savings account as I’d like it to.
