Why I Should Be Awarded A Scholarship

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 believe that I should be awarded this scholarship because I come from a background in which my parents did not go far with education. This has made life hard for my family and myself. My mother is unable to work because she is dealing with multiple sicknesses and my father, who was our main source of income, passed away. My parent both put a lot of pressure on me to get a good education, but we lack the funds to make my dreams of becoming a doctor a reality. If I am awarded this scholarship, I would be so grateful and it would not go to waste.

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

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

My scholarship allowed me to be awarded with an on campus job. Due to my dual-enrollment credit hours and my ACT score, I was given the opportunity to become an athletic study hall worker. I served as a mentor and personal tutor for the incoming freshmen athletes of the university and supervised their academic study hours. All of the athletes were required to attend study hall 8 hours a week. Just like my first class of freshmen athletes, I was also new to the university. This experience was very beneficial for me in that I was given a very important duty at such a young age. I had to learn to keep control of my students as well as ensure a conductive, comfortable learning

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 deserve to be considered for this scholarship because I will take this great opportunity as my motivation to finish my study in order to improve the communities that provide my knowledge and skill. This source will help reduce the burden from my family who support me to attend Webster University. I am grateful for the opportunity that you offer and I am persisting to work hard to reach my goal of a career. I hope you will consider me as the one who receipt the scholarship, so that I can continue my dream job as a financial

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.

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 believe I am very deserving of this scholarship because of the challenge I have had to overcome in my life that has helped shaped who I am and what my beliefs are. To begin a huge challenge in my life is not having an idea who exactly my family is or the struggle of even considering them my family. My mother's family is very disconnected. Ever since I was little until she passed my Nana always told stories of my mother's brothers and sister, and the memories that they shared with my Nana, mother, and siblings. I have always wondered what ever happened to them, and how come they never wanted to meet me. I only actually knew my Uncle Johnny until my Nana passed away, than all of a sudden I met Danny, Kathy, and David. Apparently I have met

I believe I deserve to be selected for one of your foundations scholarships because as a hard working student I will commit myself to effectively take advantage of the opportunity that the scholarships will provide me. Besides, I am a student that does not only persistently work hard academically, but also I constantly strive to improve my own community’s quality of life by doing volunteer work.Taking part and volunteering teaches compassion and understanding. Although I work two jobs and *always strive * to improve my academics, with the little time i have left, I volunteer every tuesday after school at the Children’s Treatment Center taking part in a program for children with mild motor impairment to work on their gross motor skills, ball

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 reason I deserve a scholarship, as part of the business scholars experience, is because I would like to see my dream of pursuing a course in management and finance come to reality, as well as make my parents proud. I have traveled a bumpy road to get to where I am today. My dad had to work extra hard to make sure that he provided me with basic needs. Unfortunately, my dad is not able to raise enough money for my college tuition, but I’m more than determined to get a job during college in order to be able to pay my expenses and live my dream. Despite all the hardship we have gone through, I still managed to maintain decent grades, had time to serve my community by joining various clubs and organizations, and I kept on dreaming about my future.

“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
