Why I Deserve A Scholarship

I deserve this scholarship because through my education I have discovered who I am. Years pushing myself to achieve perfection on assessments have proven my ambition. I’m driven to succeed in every aspect of my life. For example, I’ve maintained a weighted average above 100 for all of middle school and high school as of now. Additionally, I scored 100% on the NYS Living Environment Regents Exam. Although I’m a girl with drive and determination, I’m also compassionate. I adore animals, and cannot stand by as humans decimate their natural habitats and animal population numbers plummet. I learned much about the worsening conditions of our natural environments in my Earth Science class this year and I’ve become an avid proponent of animal population

As a minor, it has been a dream of mine to attend a college and further my education in health. This is due to my desire to help others and my urge to provide the care and treatment for those around me. My passion for health and helping others has pushed me to become actively involved in my local nursing home program. This program has given me an opportunity to shadow certified nurses and observe their interaction with the residents there. For years I have witnessed these nurses show compassion and care to these residents and it has truly inspired me to further my education in medicine. Therefore, it will be an honor in itself to receive an academic scholarship and obtain my degree from the Lawson State Community College nursing program.

Leadership and service, both as part of and in a community, invariably determine the result of actions taken, and ultimately, the success of such a community. Leadership is about taking the first step while service revolves around taking the necessary steps that result. I am a passionate student mainly because during my life I have seen firsthand the effects of not working hard and momentarily losing hope. My goal is to harness my past experiences as motivation to improve the lives and care for others effectively. I believe I am one of the best candidates for the Rev Dr. James and Aretha Rogers Education and Scholarship Fund because my passion, dreams, and aspirations are only fundamentals to my hard work ethic; this scholarship would allow me to be prepared for college and a give me a great sense of honor.

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 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.

I wish to be considered for the scholarship as an undergraduate student in Cameron University, majoring in English Language.

“Education is the passport for the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” -Malcolm X. Everyone deserves the right to education. I feel everyone should get it in their own way. This is why I feel I deserve to be granted the right of education through scholarships and the help and care of the people who care about my journey for a better and higher education. I feel I deserve the scholarship in that i will use the scholarship to further my education and in doing so I will pursue a better future financially and intellectually. In my life I have two preeminent goals. The first goal is to be the best person I can become in any way that I can. The second is to help those who have helped me, and those who have helped them, and anyone who needs to be assisted.

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,

I’m far from rich, but I believe I have a bright future. I know I can go very far with college, however I’m not sure how I will be able to afford it. However, I won’t give up, because my mom and dad are disabled and can’t work. Two years ago my dad was making a lot of money and had my college money money saved up. I was going to be the first in the family to go to college, however he got hurt on the job, His company took his money. Over the past few years we had to use the college money just to stay off the streets. At seventeen, I take care of my mom, and dad. I also work several side jobs every week. With what the government gives, and what I make each month, we can barely even pay our bills. This is why I believe I should be chosen for this scholarship because I have been through the struggle. I’m motivated, and I have a plan to be successful.

I deserve this scholarship because I try and make an effort everyday at school. I will admit that I took my first semester of ninth grade in high school for a joke. I was excited to be moving up to the bigger school. So, my grades went up and down. I started off in the Honors program but ended up being kicked out because of my math class. That was the hardest class I had. It was literally easy. However, I had just transferred from Northridge High School in Tuscaloosa, AL. The same math was being taken, but we were doing at Northridge was what Bibb County High School would be taking last. Our lessons plans were opposites. So, when I got there I already knew the things she didn't teach me. By the end of the course I was making a passing grade.

I believe I should receive this scholarship because I do not have the best ACT score and my parents make just enough to pass the limit for financial aid. ACT scores decide if you can even apply for many scholarships. I tried my hardest the many times I have taken it but with test anxiety it will always be tough. I could use any money I get because $80,000 a year stretched for the 5 people in my family is hard. University of Kentucky is my dream school I will do anything in my power to attend and to pay for as much as

The ACE program (Achieving a College Education) plans on providing me a future scholarship, for future classes I will be taking. My parents have contributed over $100 dollars in gas total to transport me to PVCC (Paradise Valley Community College) each day during the summer of 2017, and every Saturday since the start of the school year. My parents have also contributed approximately $50 dollars in school supplies such as; pens, pencils, agenda, etc. and over $100 dollars contributed to eat-out items such as; lunch.

To say that I deserve this scholarship more than anyone else who applies seems pretentious. My entire life I have been taught that nothing in life is owed to me, but rather I need to work my hardest to accomplish my goals and overcome obstacles. One of the obstacles I currently face is funding my college career. Scholarships and grants are imperative to not just me, but every student that does not have financial support from their parents. My parents are unable to contribute financially to my education, but support me wholeheartedly in my endeavors. For the last several years, I have maintained a full-time minimum wage job to help with books and some tuition; however my classes are requiring more of my time. In order to become a full-time

I believe the traits one looks for in a recipient are something a person begins building early in life. I am a tinker, an analyst, and above all, I am unique. I know I have enough confidence in my academic discipline and passion to fill the entire Allen E. Paulson Stadium, in theory. I know that I am a driven young woman who has dreams, goals, and aspirations of becoming successful in the field of all things computer related. I am aware I have made the decision to pursue a career in one of the toughest fields for women - Engineering. Pursuing that field means one day I’ll be building drones for the military, as always imagined. Since I cannot financially afford to attend Georgia Southern University on my own, receiving a scholarship will greatly assist me in achieving my goals.

“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
