The high schools that I plan to visit are the following: Villa Rica High School in Villa Rica Georgia, Lumpkin County High School in Dahlonega Georgia, and North Hall County High School. With Villa Rica High School, I have talked to the head teacher of modern languages, who was a former teacher of mine, and she along with the school faculty have personally invited me to come and speak on behalf of the modern language department. This is in order to encourage students to participate in the language programs offered by the school while also speaking about my personal experience with languages and times abroad. Many in the department know me personally because I had established many close relationships with the faculty along with being the first

Athletics has helped shape who I am as a student and as a person. To be selected for the Carl Montavon Memorial Scholarship would be a great honor that I would feel privileged to receive. Carl Montavon was a huge supporter of athletics among high school students, and I am as well for multiple reasons. Not only have the sports that I have participated in helped me physically and socially, but educationally as well. Participating in multiple sports helped motivate me to keep up my GPA for future college recruiting, and fueled my competitive drive into striving and succeeding to become valedictorian of my high school’s graduating class. Athletics taught me responsibility and respect. Not only do I value others opinions, but I make sure

Lastly, my accomplishments include completing 95 credits within a two-year time span, which I will conclude at the end of this spring semester.

Thank you for the opportunity to apply for this unique scholarship. This award shows me that you recognize your alumni as being vital to the campus. I’ve had a long family history with your school. My great grandmother Florence Wilson attended the former Platteville State Teacher College and taught a year before marrying my great grandfather. My grandfather, Kenneth Wilson, attended the University of Wisconsin Platteville and studied agriculture. His education was beneficial in his career in farming. He needed to leave school after two years in order to work full time on the farm and to raise seven children. Three of his children attended UW-Platteville. My uncle Kurt Wilson started teaching physical education in Lodi after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Education. He is still enjoying his job there. My mother, Lynette Wilson (Potter) received a Bachelors of Science degree in Art and a Masters of Science in Counselor Education. She has had many creative positions and has worked with a variety of people over the years. Her artwork has been published in national magazines as well as local papers. She was dedicated to her job working with the developmentally

Though the Williams Honors College had a tremendous impact on my undergraduate days, I am very excited about how it will impact my future. The Honors College has deepened my commitment to the University of Akron and the greater Akron community. Though neither of my parents are from Akron, they moved me here when I was two years old. Akron is my home and my time at the University has secured my roots. I am appreciative of everything the Williams Honors College has given me, and I cannot wait to give some of that back to the University of Akron and the Williams Honors College in the

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the Lindholm-Lebovitz Endowed Scholarship available for students, and me, at Wheaton College. By having the scholarship it has enabled me to attend Wheaton for all four years and subsequently opened so many doors for me. At Wheaton I have been able to hold multiple leadership positions such as being president of a themed house and being one of the student bankers on campus. Additionally I have had the opportunity to study abroad which has shaped me in ways I never thought would. The support that student get here at Wheaton is one like no other, so thank you for giving me the opportunity to thrive.

I am deserving of the Liado, scholarship. I deserve this prestigious accolade, because I put in an incomparable effort to shed a positive light both on campus and community wide. With leadership positions across my campus, as well as potential positions within my sorority, I strive to incorporate the values learned from being a student and woman, into all my external endeavors as well. I use my Italian lineage, to guide my future, growing up, I have been instilled with the values loyalty, respect and love, and these have become these are the principles in which I formulate my endeavors. I utilize these morals in my positions as our college’s Relay for Life Event Chairperson, Colleges Against Cancer’s Publicity Coordinator, as well as Delta

Being an alumnus of Miami Dade College (MDC), I received a lot from this school and would like to give back to such an amazing institution. I frequently learn, in several forms of media, of MDC’s prestigious awards, commemorations, and many other forms of acknowledgements and tributes for its operations, faculty and staff, students, standards, and much more. The most recent news I had the honor of engaging in was in the form of an email from the President of the College, Eduardo J. Padrón, which was titled “MDC Earns ‘Great Colleges to Work For’ Distinction for Fifth Straight Year.” It is news like this that just makes me even more ambitious to earn a place in this wonderful institution. All of this makes me know that MDC is an excellent place of employment on top of the fact that it is an excellent place for higher learning.
