What makes me more appreciative for receiving this scholarship is my financial issues that I am having this semester. In order for me to enroll for next semester to graduate in the spring, I need to
Other schools have offered me more money due to the combination of my scores, National Merit Semifinalist standing, and talents. Recently, I have won first place in the mathematics portion of both my county and regional science fair with a statistical analysis of racial bias in media advertisements. Unfortunately, I could not attend the state conference due to a combination of my school’s Model United Nations and church responsibilities. Returning to my financial issues, my father has recently started working for the church for free and he is no longer being paid. We are sustaining on a combination of my job and my mother’s nursing job, but in order to become more qualified, both of my parents will be returning to school for a master’s degree.
However, my plans can only become possible with the help of the Norwalk Community College Foundation. The NCC Foundation made it possible for me to graduate in a two year frame; it enabled me to take more classes during winter and summer break without having to worry about how I would afford these courses. Nonetheless, I am independently working my way through college without financial assistance from my parents and family members who also face financial crisis. However, the LEAP Transfer Scholarship would substantially allow me not only to focus on learning, but also to graduate in the spring of 2018 with a Bachelor 's degree.
Why do you believe you need, or should receive, financial assistance, such as a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship to attend the college/university of your choice?

Being such an active member, and juggling school along with a part time job at Pizza Hut, I was fortunate enough to get two scholarships from the FFA Alumni Association. These accomplishments and the money awarded are helping me pay for the books I’m using in college today. My hard work as an FFA member and officer had definitely paid
The Bellmead Chamber of Commerce is an essential scholarship that I must receive to further my education. When I was a little over five years old I lost my father in a horrifying car accident. Since then, my mother had to raise six children on her own. When my father passed away my mother later on began struggling financially to pay for all our family’s necessities.
I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.

My father has been in the military a little more than twenty years, more than the 21 years I have been alive.
When asked what qualified me for the UNC Consolidated Scholarship, I suddenly thought back to when I was a kid; I wanted to do something important. I wanted to be the difference I so much desperately needed as a child. My mother passed away in 2009, leaving three children and a grandson behind. Due to neither of my sisters being over eighteen and all my relatives declined when asked to take us in, we were then introduced to foster care. While in foster care I was verbally abused and emotionally broken, I was constantly told I would never succeed in anything with others including my foster parent.
The BMO Harris Scholarship program has assisted me with ways to pay for college and networking with different mentors to take advantage of different opportunities to assist me with my career choice. Charles Organ is my career director at the Boys & Girls Club. Charles Organ impacted my career by supporting me with my career goals through high school on what pathway I wanted to pursue in and offering helpful resources such as professional development workshops to advance my skills on preparing for college. Another impact that the Boys and Girls Club assisted with my career goal was taking advantage of debt free tuition such as attending Milwaukee Area Technical College to receive my first Associate Degree in Business and Management.

Students in the criminal justice department are taught that our main objective in the justice system and our careers is to serve and also protect those involved in our community. For as long as I can remember, my goal in life has been to provide service by protecting and serving those who are close to me. My penchant for service is what eventually led me to the Criminal Justice program at Valdosta State University. This passion for service began at a very young age when my life was turned upside down when I relocated from Puerto Rico to the state of Georgia due to a tragic car accident that led to the end of my father’s life. This sudden change of lifestyle and heartbreak came with an extreme amount of struggle and culture shock not just
As a graduating senior preparing for college is frightening. The ideas of “how am I going to pay for college?” and “where will I live?” are continuously brought upon myself, and my family. I have worked hard my entire high school career for the opportunity of attending the college I choose, as well as hopes that my work will pay off by receiving financial assistance for my education. Financially, my family has encountered many hardships including: having a single mother, four sisters, and medical adversities.
One of the activities I had the opportunity of joining was an internship program called Sobro. This program gave me the privilege to review my five-year career plans and influenced my choice to get involved with child psychology. I presented my personal goal to a Sobro group at Starbucks, which involved me with starting my own business in the future, and I know that this is possible as long as I stay persistent with my plan . This scholarship would prevent me from paying any balance in the Fall of 2018 and it makes it easier for me not to have any financial burdens. My only dream is to work with children.
There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need. In order to do so, I need to see and experience the world outside of the one I am accustomed to. Curiosity is one of the traits that define the person that I am; because of this trait I always ask questions about the world around me and the people I meet. This is one of the driving forces behind my desire to venture outside of the United States to learn a new language and culture.
My parents always stressed how we should do our best and have to work for the things we want. Growing up I learned this doesn’t come easy. As everything college is upon us I have reflected on these principles and pondered how I will come up with the money for my college education. The clear cut answer is scholarships. You will see in this essay that I am a worthy candidate for this scholarship.
