The Atlantic Slave Trade was one of the largest and inhumane human slavery systems in history. William Wilberforce played a key part in its abolishment, however; he was not the sole person responsible for its downfall. William Wilberforce can be seen as the leader of the ‘abolitionist’s’, so it can be said that he had a large part to play in the slave trades abolition although there were other key people involved in its abolition like; Olaudah Equiano, John Newton, Thomas Fowell Buxton and Thomas Clarkson. There were also groups involved such as the Quakers and Women and Women’s groups. The abolishment of slavery was not due solely to the work of William Wilberforce because there were many people who aided him in his fight for its abolition
I excel in scholarship. Throughout my high school career, I have maintained a 4.139 GPA. I consider academics to be very valuable and strive for high grades in all my classes. I’ve taken two AP classes,
When the odds are stacked against me is when I truly believe I am strongest. A scholarship would assist me in achieving my long-term goal of Social Work and being able to help disadvantaged youth overcome adversity. My grades are not spectacular, but they are solid. I am persistent and I complete what I have started.
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 am determined to attend college no matter what, but this scholarship will allow me to peruse a four year university. I need this scholarship, because without it I will not be able to fulfill the tuition cost of a four year university. Now with the help of the Navigator I look forward continue my education, as well as start new
For instance, my father has to be ready for work by four in the morning to provide for our family, of six including me, with enough and apart from that we rely heavily on government assistance. Since I experience this I know that I want to become a leader so I can break this cycle in my family. I believe I deserve this scholarship because I am a responsible, respectful and reliable person, and I will be able to live up to the expectations. I know I would prosper in the
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
I believe I should be selected for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Scholarship because I am not the typical high school senior. When it comes to my education, I go about and beyond expectations. My desire to do my best in school shows consistently year after year. I put in equal amount of effort when it comes to my after school activities and community involvement. I was told at a young age that education was the key to success and from that point on I made it my main priority not to be the average student among those that settle for less but to be a outstanding student that rises to every occasion to take advantage of my education.
If your heart is set on a certain career and you want or require a degree, you can use those scholarships to pave the way to your dreams of having a lifelong career that you furthered your education for. Even if your plans don’t work out, as long as you have your degree in a field
My goal is to get a scholarship so to do that I am going to take all the opportunities to reach that goal. Scholarship can also just refer to knowledge and education. To me scholarship is a very important asset in school as long with the other assets as well. I am very motivated when it comes to scholarship in school and I always try my best.
As I have to pay for all of my college expenses myself, a scholarship of any amount would be greatly appreciated. Receiving a scholarship would assist me in not only paying for my education but, giving me motivation to continue earning high grades. Knowing that I have support from an organization and that they want me to succeed with earning my degree would certainly motivate me to keep up my great academic progress. That is because I wouldn’t want to let that organization
Then dream bigger. Dream big and then dream bigger because Scholarship can be much more than just getting straight A's. It can be a life-long love of learning that makes your experience of the world richer, more satisfying, and more productive. Dream big and then dream bigger because Citizenship can be more than being part of the greatest nation on Earth. It can be an opportunity to forge the future by voting, volunteering, and connecting globally.
The definition of the word scholarship is academic study or achievement at a high level. This quality is one of the many in which I have qualified for in the acceptance process of National Honor Society. Maintaining a high grade point average throughout high school while learning at an accelerated level is an accomplishment you should be proud of. Because I currently attend the Academy of Sciences, I personally know what it is like to learn at a faster, higher level and the dedication and
Despite all of the time I dedicated to school, I also am an active leader at St. Pius X. At SPX, I hold the position of a youth group leader, and I have dedicated numerous hours towards this church. Even with the workload, and extracurriculars, I have maintained a job since I was 16, and currently work 15 hours a week. Another reason I deserve this scholarship is because of finances. I won’t be receiving any financial aid for GVSU, and I will be receiving $5,000 a year for academics. However, this leaves an estimated $15,000 left to pay for each year, and despite the income of my family, we aren’t even close to being able to afford that.
