Why I Deserve 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.

First generation college students, are just trying to be different than the rest of their family. They are trying to better themselves from what they grew up with, or at least for me, I am. I deserve this scholarship because I am trying to beat the odds. I am trying to overcome my environment, I want to be more than just what I was born into, I just want to exceed, and show how capable I can be.

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 plan to attend the Kansas State University in Italy Faculty led program so I can gain more knowledge and creativity as I continue working towards my degree in graphic design. I have always wanted to visit Italy as well. I think this would be the perfect experience for me since it is held through the Art department and led by my very own professors, who I will continue to work with after traveling abroad. Personally, I have always loved the idea of traveling to other countries to be able to learn and appreciate their cultures first hand. I believe the breathtaking architecture and landscape in Italy will greatly inspire and impact my graphic design and photography abilities the most. This experience will truly help me to grow as an artist. Therefore, I know when I come back for the fall semester that I will be bursting with ideas and inspiration for my art projects. In my future professional career, I would love to be able to work internationally with foreign companies. This program will greatly improve my chances of having that opportunity and give me the skills and knowledge I would need to succeed in doing so.

The reason I want this Scholarship is to take the burden off my mother and to achieve an education that will allow me to take both my mother and I out of poverty. My mother has worked her entire life to do the best for me and it hasn’t been the easiest situation. My mother has multiple auto-immune deficiencies and frequents the hospital. I can remember all those nights

I am interested in this scholarship for a variety of reasons both personally and financially. I currently live in a single parent home that won't be able to help me financially when I pursue my future career. The career I want to pursue in the future is in honor of my grandpa, Chuck Storing, who was never able to become the doctor he hoped to become due to financial and family issues that followed him after high school. I have worked two jobs simultaneously throughout high school to save up money for myself. Along with constantly putting school first no matter how hectic or busy my life got. My whole life I have always set goals for myself and never gave up on them until they were fully achieved. I strive each and everyday to make my family

I believe I deserve to obtain this scholarship since I work hard to get perfect grades, even if sports and extracurricular activities occupy most of my free time.

I'd like to get this scholarship because i'm a very hard worker once I get my mind set on it, I work at the Roseau Hospital in food service and I absolutely love it! I get to see the residents that's always the best part of my day.

I believe I am deserving of this scholarship award because as well as committing myself to academic success, I continue to be an active member of the polish community through volunteer organizations. As an instructor in the polish scouting organization I volunteer my time leading camps on a provincial and national level, and attending ceremonial heritage events. I have also become a member of the McMaster Polish Society. Since entering the program of mechanical engineering, I have developed a keen interest in two branches of this field, avionics and injury biomechanics. In terms of avionics, designing, building, and improving existing technology of aircraft and seeing your work realised would the utmost personal achievement. As a former athlete,

Like a lot of students applying for these scholarships, I do not come from the most fortunate family. I was raised by a single mother. My mother did everything in her power to keep us afloat in this rough world, including attending a community college to become a licensed practical nurse while having a child at home. All my mother ever asked of me was to stay out of trouble and keep my grades up so I can attend a good college. I knew that if I did not gain a scholarship to a school, she would have to pay out of pocket for college. I could not put that burden on her shoulders because I knew she could not afford it. With that motivation, I worked hard through all my years of school to make the best grades possible. I managed to make my mother proud by being an honor graduate from a predominantly white high school, making 24 on the ACT, and earning a full scholarship to Alcorn State University to major in biology.

Scholarship has always been important to me, and I have made it a point to continually challenge myself. My schedule is filled with honors and AP classes, I maintain a 4.0 GPA, and I rank first in my class. Because I excel in academics, I find it a privilege to help other students and have served as a mentor in a variety of subjects throughout

I believe that I should receive this scholarship because I'm a safe investment. The current grade point average I have is somewhere in the 3.3 - 3.4 range at the moment and I have full intentions on raising that as much as I can with my time left in highschool. I have a work ethic that pushes me to go above and beyond what is required of me, failure and backing out of college is not an option for me. I already began learning skills of my future major, computer science, that will help me through college as well as the world out in the workforce as a career.

I believe I should be awarded with this scholarship because I'm a person that doesn't give up. I moved to United States 3 years ago, and I domain the language in less of time that a normal person. I'm a hardworking that is ready to fight for the dreams. My dream is to go to University of Nevada, Reno and graduate with a major in education and hep kids that have the same issues that I had when I moved. Not knowing the language, culture, and educational system can be hard for immigrants. Specially when it comes out to interact with others.

“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure” (Bill Cosby). Reflecting back on my life I have dealt with numerous downfalls but I always bounce back. I was born in India and moved here when I was six years old. As I grew up in California I was not a bright student at first. I was enrolled in Carmichael Elementary in which I was the only one with Turban on my head, which caused me to get into a lot of fights with other students who were making fun of turban. Not knowing how to speak English at the time affected the way interacted with teachers and students. On the other hand my family always had a tight budget at home. Both of my parents worked at the store we owned which was the only source money. At school kids were always talking about their new shoes and the iPod which his or her parents got them. I didn’t get everything I wanted as a kid but as I got older I understand if did I could be a spoiled brat. When I moved from Carmichael to Sacramento and I was enrolled at Maeola R. Beitzel elementary. Going to this new school I already learned English so I made marvelous friends and was surrounded by positive people. Going from a chaos environment to this harmonious environment in part because I was speaking English, made me have unique personality .I was playing sports and growing as a student. Those years went by in no time. Now I am in high school and my family’s income has been growing. My mom changed her work to now at Jack in
