Hispanic Scholarship Application

I am writing to apply to the Hispanic scholarship Found Scholarship. I am a first-year student in Civil Engineering at UTA where I am involved in various activity groups and work part time to help pay for my tuition. I believe that I am an excellent candidate for the HSF Scholarship as I possess all the requirements set forth in the requirements. I am and excellent student, passionate volunteer, and a hard working first generation college student.

Throughout my educational career I have always excelled in the classroom. I recently graduated high school, being in the top three percent of my class, all while being a captain in the varsity football team and working full time. My high school GPA was a 4.0, and I received many awards, including First Team All-State for academics. Currently, I have a 3.5 GPA at UTA, while working part time and being involved in various school organizations. Academics are very important for me because it represents a better, more financially stable

future for me and my family

Before I was even born, I had a tremendous amount of pressure placed on me. My parents immigrated to the United States from Mexico twenty years ago, leaving their families, friends, home, and entire lives behind, in order to provide a better life for my sister and me. At a very young age I realized the opportunity my parents had given me and the magnitude of their sacrifice. With that thought engraved in my head, I set off on a mission to someday be able to repay them and the first step was get my education. College is very expensive, and being from a low-income family I have to figure out a way to pay for it myself. Scholarships like this one would really help me continue my goal of giving back.

Volunteering is very important to me, there is nothing more fulfilling than knowing you just helped make someone life a little better.

My senior year of high school alone, I completed over 160 hours of community service. Being a full-time student and a part-time worker, unfortunately does not allow for much spare time, but whenever I do have a chance, I always volunteer through my youth group in church. One of my biggest goals in life is being able to give back to the community on a much bigger scale. Ultimately, I hope to even go full circle and give scholarships to Hispanic student like me.

Over all, I believe I embody the type of person this foundation is trying to help through this scholarship. This scholarship would mean the world to me and my family, it would help me achieve all my goals and dreams. I am confident that I am a Strong Candidate for the HSF Scholarship, and I believe I am very well rounded in all aspects of the requirements. Thank you for conserving my

application.
