I am applying for this scholarship to help me pay for college. As everyone knows it is very expensive and sometimes hard to pay for all the things involved. My family is doing everything they can to help pay for my college. One of the biggest obstacles we have faced is applying for the FAFSA. My parents do make a lot of money, but they both have student loans they have to pay. My mom has two majors so she has a lot of money to pay back to school. While applying to FAFSA, these factors are not taken into consideration so we did not get as much money as we had hoped. If I am selected to win this scholarship, it would be greatly appreciated and would help me in many ways to continue my education. My family is very close, we are able to talk …show more content…
In the future I want to be an ER nurse. To be a nurse, some characteristics that I need to have are: compassion, honesty, kindness and devotion. I already have many of these qualities but believe that they can always be improved. Everyone can always be more kind or compassionate. Since I am going into the medical field, I need to have people skills and be able to work well with a variety of people. I am able to work with many different people and get a job done well. I believe that going to college in a bigger city will help prepare me for different things in life. Although Fairfield has done a great job in making me the person I am today, going to a big city will allow me to learn even more about myself and the world around me. Some of the classes that I will need to take in college involve working with others. Something I have been told is that listening is key in many college classes. Listening and being able to communicate are also important qualities I need to have in my future. To be successful in my career I just need to be an overall positive person. I know this can be hard at times, but I hope that college will be able to help motivate me to do what I have been striving to be my whole
Financial aid is money in the form of loans, grants and employment that is available to a student to help pay the cost of attending. Financial aid comes from the federal government, which is the largest provider of aid, as well as state government, the school and a variety of other public and private sources.
In order to maintain a normal lifestyle, single mothers have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities- running errands and spending time with their kids, besides having to work for long durations at office. Statistically speaking, almost 38 out of every 100 single moms lie below the poverty level, which can be obviated if they possess a bachelor’s degree. For receiving proper education, women like these need financial aids to support themselves through undergraduate school. Thus, keeping in mind such conditions, certain college scholarships have been proposed to financially assist single mothers.
I know that through my hard work and dedication I can make my goals a reality. However, it may not be possible without these Scholarships. While my parents will help me in any way they can, I am hoping that my hard work and dedication to my studies pays off. I am a very self-driven individual who will accomplish any goal I set my mind on achieving. I am also aware of how without scholarships I may face a financial setback. I am hoping that through the help of scholarships I will be able to achieve all my goals in a timely
I am currently planning to attend Richland Community college and graduate as a registered nurse. The reason I chose this career is because helping out others has always driven me forward. I want to study something that I know I will be content doing for the rest of my life and registered nursing is the right choice. Being a nurse has a many perquisites, but my choice has nothing to do with the advantages that it will provide me with. It is more about the fact that I have the chance to make people who are ill feel better and also to hel...
I have been saving my 4-H money for college this whole time. This scholarship will help with books and other experiences I can put towards, as stated before my family has a low income and is unable to assist me. I wasn't expecting anything. I am not Entitled to anything my parents have worked for, only to what I
One day I hope to become a Nurse Practitioner giving compassionate and adequate care to those individuals who are less fortunate and are in need of care. My life experiences, educational background, and determination will drive me through what's to come as I prepare myself to gain my BSN and become a Nurse. It is with great pleasure and excitement that I am applying for admission to Colorado Christian University. I never thought after having a family that I would be attending college. I want to show my children that with hard work and a good spirit anything is possible. They look to me for guidance daily as they grow and mature into who they will become both professionally and spiritually. They are the driving life force moving me forward testing myself with every learning experience. After what I have accomplished so far I know that I can go further and complete what I believe will be my impression and imprint on this world. When I am gone I will look back happily at the legacy I have left for my family as well as the persons I will
Over the past years, I knew that the cost of attending a good college was going to place financial stress on me and my family. One of the ways I could help offset those costs were to achieve success in the classroom and on the baseball field. I understand the importance of keeping my GPA as high as possible and having a good ACT score. Volunteering in the community and becoming a strong leader and role model the past four years has been a top priority for me. I hope my experiences and achievements will help qualify me top scholarships. I have also tried to excel in my sport in hopes to qualify for additional scholarships. Once in college, I will be enrolled in work study and intern programs so that I am more marketable when I graduate. I do
Going on this trip would be a very cool experience and I would be extremely thankful if I got this scholarship. My mom always talks about what cool things I may see if I went on the trip. Also, she talks about what amazing monuments there could be and what cool things we may hear about. We knew from the beginning we heard about the Washington DC trip we were going to go, but then we ran into some problems. My sister was got ill and she kind of ran into some problems with herself which caused problems with us. My mom had to take her kids while she went off to get some help, unfortunatly this caused problems all around. We had to watch kids a lot, but we also had to pay for their clothes, daycare, diaphers, formula, etc. It may not seem like
As a first generation college student, we tend to be in need of financial assistance in order to attend college. Scholarships and financial aid would be of great assistance in supporting my goal for higher education, I noticed the only way out of poverty from a single family with low income is to pursuing higher education and obtain a skilled job. Although my father has made many sacrifices to allow me to focus on education throughout high school, but college is just a new level of challenge on financial need ever since my grandma were diagnosed with cancer. She is a strong old lady that never give up fight cancer throughout the past five years, and she taught me never give
Attending college has helped me see the right benefits that will help me achieve my ultimate dream goals. First of all, I want to be able to learn how to relate to different cultures, ethnicities, and personalities, and also be able to understand different backgrounds, the way people from diverse culture think and act and their lifestyles; In addition, I want to learn how to adapt to new situations including dealing with responsibilities such as using Blackboard and making sure that all my assignments are completed and submitted on time. Furthermore, I will have to learn how to adapt to being an adult and taking care of my own needs.
To me, college will play a very important role in my development into an adult as well as allow me to become more independent from my parents and begin to make decisions for myself. Up until college I will have lived in the same house my whole life, and living in a dorm in college and participating in campus activities will be a change that I will get used during my time at a University. I want to continue to participate in sports, volunteering, and leadership opportunities, but mainly college will help me to advance in my education and bring me closer to a career in actuarial science. As an actuary it will be important for me to make important steps that will ensure a career following my education at Temple. These include getting internship
My only concerns about college are making good grades that are satisfactory enough for me and the director of the nursing program, and saving money to pay off my loans after graduation. In high school, I made good grades without putting forth too much effort, but in college it takes a lot of effort, and I realize that. I want to achieve every possible bit of success that I can get my hands on while I am at the University of Akron and in my life in general. While it will never be easy to achieve those great things, I will put forth my greatest effort to get where
Financial Aid in Education A guy in $50,000 of debt has got to be irresponsible with his money, right? Actually, it is more likely that he is a college student. Hundreds of thousands of college students around the country are in financial predicament because of the government?s impersonal financial aid policies. The federal government?s current system has too many quirks that end up hurting the people that financial aid is supposed to help.
Being a first generation student, my parents always emphasized the importance of school and the many opportunities I have, that they never had growing up. I remember looking at some universities’ tuitions my sophomore year and wondered, “how can anyone afford to pay this much?” Although at first just the thought of college scared me, I knew I couldn’t accomplish anything, much less pay for college, being scared. Listening to my parents’ advice, I decided to embrace the opportunities I was given, including this scholarship. Even though, applying does not guarantee me this scholarship or any for that matter, it is a risk I am willing to take and an opportunity I am not willing to
It’s that time of year again. Students all over the country are rushing to get their college applications in. They hope for the best and try not to expect the worst. Students are impelled to bring up their GPA so that the admissions office of the undergraduate program they aspire to get in, may take a second look at their application. These students aspiration is that their first choice university will pick them. Their theory, a well proven one at that, is that the better your test scores and GPA are, the better of a chance you have to be admitted. This research paper compares two of the best colleges in the state of Indiana. Indiana State University in Bloomington (IU Bloomington), and Purdue University (Purdue). While some differences are
