I believe that I am qualified for this scholarship because of how much I have grown at Wendell Baptist Church. It has helped me grow in my walk with God through missions and through serving. It has helped me appreciate the little things in life like the slides during services on sunday morning. Showing me that the little things like that do not just happen and some people put a lot of work into making them happen. Wendell Baptist Church has also shown me just how great my life is and how the problems I think I have are actually not that big of a deal in the long run.
I firmly believe that i deserve this award granted by the Courage to Grow Scholarship. Education is greatly important to me and my future. No one in my family has ever attended college and I know that I can change that. I may come from a poor family but it is my goal to be successful in the career i choose.
I have been taught my whole life to work hard and never give up, not for any reason. I feel I exemplify scholarship the most, because my grades have always been very important to me. I do any extra credit that I can so that I can go above the average grade in school. I have maintained straight A’s for the year and I have even had over 100% in English every term.
As I begin my college education, I want to continue doing my best in order to accomplish my goal of becoming a registered nurse. With the scholarship money I can have the peace of mind of solemnly focusing on college. Students who have to work to continue their education have trouble focusing on school and do not have the extra time to study or go to tutoring sessions. In many cases, having to work while attending college usually leads to failing or dropping the class due to extra stress and the idea of income. As well, this scholarship will give me more time to focus on my education and to continue my volunteer work helping the
In total, I work about 32 hours a week and occasionally babysit in the evenings. Why do you feel you are a good candidate to receive this scholarship? I feel I am an exceptional candidate to receive this scholarship because I am dedicated to my sorority, I work hard to earn my own income, and I would be devastated if I could not remain a member because of a financial situation. I am devoted to my studies to earn scholarships to help alleviate some of the student loans I am incurring, but unfortunately those do not go towards greek life. This scholarship would be very appreciated and would not go unnoted.
Getting chosen to get this scholarship will me get more motivated to attend a 4 year college, and it will also help my parents. Due to living in a low income family, college can be very difficult.

My family is very supportive towards my career goals, which is to become a Register Nurse so I can help people around the world, and one day make an organization to help people whom also struggle.
I was always jealous of others that were naturally outgoing, so I decided to make a change. I started by taking a student council class, which has truly pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone, and I've become a better leader because of it. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, I hosted a pep assembly in front of the entire school, and I actually enjoyed it a lot. I am now one of the most extroverted and friendly people you'd meet because I put in the time and effort to better myself. Now that you better understand who I am and what my goals are, I would like the opportunity to explain the many ways this scholarship will help me achieve my
This scholarship will be the backbone of my college education as I will start off with the

As an immigrant, I understand the value of education and cherish the opportunities present in life to advance. Growing up alongside my classmates, I envied their luck to have been born in a rich country and have access to unlimited resources.
Chemical Engineering appeals to me because of the challenges involved in the application of scientific theory to practical, real world problems. I am aware that in today's world chemical engineering has an increasingly important role across a wide range of industries from pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals. The broad range of career paths, and the opportunity to contribute to society through technological innovation, is for me, one of the main attractions of chemical engineering. Especially coming from a long generation of watchmakers I have been drawn to the attention to detail that is required in this field. Through sheer hard work and my absolute devotion in O Level and A Levels and by getting 1st rank in A Levels in my class, the opportunity of a full scholarship in undergraduate landed on my doorstep.
This scholarship is a wonderful opportunity for students of GVSU, and I am honored to be considered for this scholarship. I believe that I am a great applicant for this scholarship, and that I deserve this scholarship. One reason I deserve this scholarship is because of my strong academic courses. Throughout my high school career, I pushed myself academically by taking a total of 10 AP classes and 7 honors classes. These classes were all challenging, yet I pushed through with determination to complete the classes to the best of my ability.
Please be specific about why the Panel should select you for this scholarship. As an international student in the UK, I had to pay twice as much as home students for my bachelor’s degree. That often interfered with my studies, as at times I had difficulties with accumulating necessary resources that could have helped me with my development (such as buying relevant literature or getting a BPS membership). Receiving a scholarship would motivate me to study even harder and graduate with a first class degree.
