Why I Pursue My Success At CSU

Words cannot express my gratitude. Receiving the Bettye McDonald Caldwell and Fred T. Caldwell, Jr. scholarship is truly an honor! After the lottery scholarship, I end up having to pay for about half my tuition, which makes this gift is an incredible blessing. Going to school full-time and working full-time is a difficult balancing act, but not working is not an option. When I opened the email stating I had been awarded this scholarship, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment overtook me. It gave me a deep and powerful feeling of success. This scholarship award is proof to me that hard work does pay off. It is a motivator to work even harder to achieve my goals and reach my dream career. I sincerely thank you with every piece of my heart.

I have fallen in love with UNCW after first-hand seeing it for myself last summer. I know a lot of alumni from UNCW and have heard nothing but positive things about the school, teachers, and its courses. I am interested in majoring marketing or business and UNCW excels in both of these areas for me. In addition, it provides many courses that assist me in meeting my goals for my career. I would love to attend UNCW because it is close to my hometown but also far enough to where I can be an independent. Not only do I believe the University of North Carolina Wilmington is the right fit for me and my future career but also has every aspect that I am looking for in a college. It has the perfect location, the perfect size, very affordable, and the

Union County College and I haven’t had much experience in retrospect, nor was i very knowledged of its services and academic offerings. My expectations of how my goals would be viewed were progressively high. Despite the presumption that a common county college wouldn’t grant me the success i wanted, I took my chances with Union County College, applied and waited for my expectations to slowly fail me. This essay will illustrate an idea of how Union County College gave me an astonishing preview of how i could and would effectively reach my goals in becoming a Nurse.

The Anna Dale Dalton Competitive Scholarship Award on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated would invigorate my determination to change the community around me. I always strive to serve my community in four tiers. The first tier, Scott County High School, is the most immediate to me. In the past year I have established a library of resources solely dedicated to Advanced Placement, SAT, and ACT review materials that any student has access to. I have done this because Scott County High School has the largest Advanced Placement Program in the state of Kentucky, one that I have helped nurture for the past three years through my position as President of Advanced Placement Advisory Council. When the school board refused to allow the

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROUS SCHOLARSHIP, I am now one-step closer to achieve of my goal.

This prestigious $500 award is given to students eager to obtain the ability to think critically, possess effective communication, exhibit integrity and demonstrate preparedness for success.

One reason I would be successful at VCU is because I am a diligent hard worker. In the second grade, my Celiac disease caused me to fall behind in understanding key academia. To catch up, I worked twice as hard, so that when I entered the fourth grade I was caught up. Also, when I entered high school I tried out for the girls' varsity tennis team and was cut. In order to still be part of the team, I became the manager and worked with the coach all year to eventually become a player worthy of being on the team the following year.

Thank you for awarding the Levine Scholarship to me. This $4,000 scholarship means so much. It is enough to help cover the cost of my supplies for this semester and next.

I believe in the importance of earning a college degree. Therefore, I plan to work extra hard to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, and then proceed to get my Master in Student Affairs and work in higher education. This scholarship award will only push me further towards my degree and my dreams of one day having a successful career in Higher Education. Being the first generation in my family to attend college, I have always aspired to learn the right way to manage money and this scholarship will help that. This award can enhance my educational goals and aspirations.

It seems that this day and age, college is becoming a very crucial part of today's society. Without college it is very difficult to get a job in a field that you want to be in, but at the same time it is difficult for people without a degree to maintain their job. This is why it is very important for a person to complete college. Hutchinson Community College, like many other colleges, is working to prepare their students for life after they have graduated. Although there are many ways to improve a college to make people want to stay and finish their degree, the college should be aware of the students’ desire to finish the degree before they are accepted.

I believe I should receive this award because I have proven throughout my school career (and more specifically, my high school career) that I am a very capable student who is persistent and able to excel, even when under troubling circumstances. My ability to “bounce back” after suffering from events that have seriously and negatively impacted my life is a trait that is, I believe, rare in students today, as the demands of in modern teenagers’ educational and social lives grow and will likely continue to grow in the near future. During my high school year, I have struggled with an eating disorder, a parent’s loss of work, the death of a friend, and a severe health issue on the part of my mother. Yet, despite this, I have successfully maintained

This nomination for the scholarships means so much to me. It brings great hope. It tells me all my hard work has offered me a once in a lifetime chance to achieve a higher level of education. As a child from a single parent household I admire my mom’s hard work and commitment to her family. She has worked to maintain our household; supporting three daughters with a one-person income but was unable to achieve a savings for my future education. Receiving this scholarship means I would be able to go to school fully funded and gain an invaluable number of experiences and lessons that will enhance my character for a lifetime.

College, up until my sophomore year of high school, had always been portrayed in my own mind as an overly enthusiastic and admittedly picture-perfect environment. It was, for some reason, a faraway land with smooth sidewalks and clean, crisp landscapes, smiling students and animated professors, cozy (albeit messy) dorm rooms and fashion-forward backpacks. The word itself meant immensely more to me than four years of hard work and the opportunity of earning a degree. It represented an era of independence, something I’d never truly tasted before, and of freedom to learn and to flourish, to create and nurture relationships that would last a lifetime, and to be myself without the polarizing judgment that came along with growing up in a tight-knit community. I couldn’t wait to move out, to buy enormously overpriced textbooks, to stroll around the campus grounds sporting pretty waterfall cardigans and autumn colored nail polish. Football

In my 12 years of school I have won a variety of awards. They range from sports, academics, participation, and some for just who I am as a person. I am proud for each and every single one of those awards. Even though some might be for just trying, I still take them as accomplishments. The one award that stands out from all the others is the award that I won in my eighth grade year, The President’s Academic Achievement Award.

Thank you so much for this $2500 scholarship award. I appreciate this award to help me pursue my education. I feel so grateful to know that I have your support.
