Why Do I Deserve This Scholarship?

I want to help research and design robotic prosthetics that provide more natural movements and the sense of touch. Movement is one of the challenges that affect people with missing limbs the most. Having the ability to stand, walk, reach, and grab are tasks that do not come easy for them. They will always need assistance. Being on our high school robotics team, we built robots that could lift, throw, and grab objects. I would love to make robotic devices to help disabled people live normal lives. I recently had the opportunity to visit a facility for wounded soldiers at Ft Sam, TX. We learned how they fit and customize prosthetic arms and legs for the soldiers and how they benefit

I believe that I should be awarded this scholarship because of my effort in my past twelve years. There have been many times where I wanted to give up on school, but my motivation arose from my parents and their struggle to keep my sister and me in school. Being from Guatemala, their goal was for me to get my education, and if I didn’t try I would be letting the opportunities slip through my hands. Throughout my four years of high school I’ve had sleepless nights, about 100 cups of coffee, endless alarm clocks, and stressful test days to get myself where I am now. I am twelve out of the one thousand and ninety-nine seniors; my GPA is a four point five. In the end it was all my effort. Without me pushing myself, I wouldn’t have been here awaiting

I think I deserve this scholarship because I am a bright student that continuously strives to be the best that I can be. I have been through many struggles but continue to make the most of life itself. To me scholarships are not just free money to go out and spend on whatever. I truly need this money to be able to further my education because it is already a huge struggle for me to put gas in my car so that I can go to my nurse aide class. I know that things will work out as long as I never give up on my dreams. I am very serious when it comes to my education. This is because in society today if you don't have a good educational background then it is very hard to find a good job. Life has always been a battle for me but knowing that there are people out there who are ready to help and inspire me through the hard times just makes it all worth it. So as long as i know that people appreciate what I do, I will never give up.

I deserve this scholarship because I am hard working and it wouldn’t be a waste of money on some dumb teenager and because my parents don’t have a lot of money, but I also deserve it because I want to go to college to be a police officer and protect the american people, change how police officers are looked at and so I can serve justice to people who deserve

Altogether, I believe that I deserve the scholarship because I am a diligent worker who seeks to make a positive change in the world. With a fully-enriched education, I can make that

In high school, students dream of getting a scholarship to go to the school of their choice. I truly feel that I deserve the scholarship because I have worked my hardest and done my absolute best to dedicate myself to my education. I've been through a lot personally within my family that has affected me immensely, but despite it all I was able to retreat to my strong mindset of putting my education first, even if that means before my problems.

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

I should be awarded this scholarship because I passionately believe that learning and personal development are crucially important. When I was 12 years old, I began to teach myself to use programming languages and software frameworks to create applications and build websites as a hobby. As a visual and tactile learner, most of my acquired knowledge at that time had come from online videos, forums, and blogs. Throughout high school, I excelled as a student adviser for my programming classes and became the team captain of my high school’s competitive robotics team. During my senior year, I orchestrated and lead a small group of students to rebuild our hometown’s public website as a community project. Now I am a full-time student at the University

I feel that I should be considered for this scholarship because I have worked hard to attain my achievements and I had to mature at an ealier age than most students. My parents divorced when I was in elementary school and from then on my brother and I had to deal with constant arguments between our parents. We were under a lot of pressure to decide which parents would attend what events we had for they could not get along in the same building. This was especially hard because every child wants their parents to be able to support them and watch them grow throughout the years. Having to choose between the two parents put on a lot of stress on myself and it made me realize how successful I want to become in life. I want to ensure I go to college

The scholarship committee should elect me as a scholarship recipient because I live to serve my community. A college degree is a highly valued asset for a person to possess. It is my aspiration to attend college and a scholarship would provide me with that opportunity. I will take advantage of that opportunity by contributing to society. I would love to invest the benefits of a college education by donating to charitable and leadership organizations, or simply providing them with fundamental resources required to succeed.

There are a million reasons why everyone else entering this scholarship should win, and a million different reasons that each and every one of us could benefit from this scholarship. However, before you rule me out, I ask that you hear my reasoning for needing this scholarship. Throughout high school, I have been actively involved in volleyball, basketball, and track, where I have competed at the state level in all three sports. I have also been in Student Council, National Honor Society, Pep Club, FCA, 4-H, and I was elected class president all four years of high school. On top of all of this, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes since the age of 3. As you can imagine with being a full time student athlete, being involved in different clubs, and coaching my own pee wee

I should be considered for this scholarship due to that as a result of my personal goals and qualities I seek to improve my campus and community and in ten years I hope to have radically improve my campus and self. This scholarship will assist me in affording an institution that will grow my mind and achieve my goals of inclusion and diversity.

I am Oliver Zhang, an 8th grader at Canyon Middle School. My life has constantly been centered on a tiny part of America, Castro Valley in Northern California. America is a large country with landmarks like Capitol Hill symbolizing democracy in our nation. Now thanks to the internet, these places can be observed anywhere within just a few keystrokes.

The reason I feel like I deserve to win this scholarship is because of the way I can carry myself through the hardships of life, and still be able to average a GPA over 3.0 Many of my trials have been at home, some of these trials happen at school. I can say proudly that I am on track to defeat those trials in one swoop. I am on track to receive many prestigious accolades from my school. From life I’ve learned that it isn’t fair, and working hard doesn’t get you to where you want, but something in me still believes it no matter what. As far as I know winning $1000 for college doesn’t put a significant dent in the average $12000 a year in college tuition, but I believe it’ll help start my journey.

As a student of Vernon Malone College and Career Academy, I recall applying with aspirations to make a difference and to have a chance to contribute more to the world around me. I also yearned to see a change in myself and in my general towards the daily tribulations we as humans face each day. These are the same ambitions that led to my desire to want to join National Honor Society.
