Recommended: Academic Performance and Factors

This is in response to the email on the 19th of June 2015 regarding the suspension of my Howard University Freshman Scholarship (HUFS). I would like to appeal my Howard University Freshman Scholarship (HUFS) suspension, which is based on my academic performance.

The previous semester, which was my first semester at Howard’s University, was hindered, because of the new environment and different style of teaching. Being homesick also prevented me from meeting my set goals for academic progress. It was my first experience studying at a college level within America, although that is not an excuse for my shortcomings, it does briefly explain how I had trouble learning the academic standard at Howard. I would like to emphasize that I do take my studies seriously and passed each freshman course related to the civil engineering major degree program. Without my Howard University Freshman Scholarship, it would be impossible to take the courses that I need for the next academic semester. This suspension is an added financial …show more content…

In addition, I promise to devote more time to familiarizing myself with the tutoring centers on campus.

I promise that if I am given another chance, I will make a deal with my adviser. My family recommends signing a contract with my adviser to help me complete my education and stay ahead of my academic demands. However, without my Howard University Freshman Scholarship, this will be impossible. My earlier academic records show that I am a hard working and dedicated student. Therefore, my continuation and completion of the degree is most imperative. I am ready to get back on track, as my education is important to me.

I have attached my Howard University Freshman Scholarship (HUFS) appeal with this letter for your

  • Why I Want To Be A Physician Assistant

    921 Words  | 2 Pages

    Unfortunately, my family and I fall into an area of the middle class that prohibits us from receiving need-based aid. Although I have graciously been awarded the Elizabeth Ann Seton Scholarship, without some additional form of aid, a Seton Hill education may be prohibitively expensive. My fourth year’s tuition alone would cost $37,520 with my current scholarship, and I would still have to pay for living expenses. Once my undergraduate and fifth years’ expenses are included, I will be over $150,000 in debt when I graduate. As a student who has worked exceedingly hard in the classroom and as a leader for four years, this amount of financial burden feels like a punishment. If I do not receive the Seton Scholar Award, I am not confident that I can attend Seton Hill and make the impacts I have described in this

  • Personal Narrative- My Reasons for Entering the Air Force

    1033 Words  | 3 Pages

    My Air Force story begins with me searching for a viable way to pay for college. I was brought up in a home with two hard working parents who were great role models that tried to provide every opportunity for me. However, my family was part of the lower-middle class which meant I needed a way to pay for college. I followed suit with my parent’s stringent work ethic and set a goal to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering and have the Air Force fund it. I felt that the Air Force would be a great match as it would allow me to pursue my aviation dream and also serve as a great way to fund my education due to my financial needs. After a challenging process I received an Air Force ROTC scholarship to attend the Georgia Institute of Technology and pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering. In return for this scholarship I would have to pay the Air Force back with four years of service.

  • My Early College Experience: My High School Experience

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    My high school experience was different from most in the sense that I was enrolled in an early college program. This meant earning dual credit and graduating with a high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and the chance to enroll at a four-year university as any typical high school student would. This also meant finding a new mode of transportation since the community college served as the high school campus and the only working car in the family was my father’s way to get to work. We met with the school principal on numerous occasions to discuss this issue and see what could be done, but it looked like this was going to be one opportunity I would be unable to take advantage of — I even missed the orientation week for incoming freshmen

    After reviewing multiple schools I have decided that I want to transfer Howard University. One of the most important reasons to me personally is to be in an atmosphere surrounded by individuals that look and think like as I. I have obtained knowledge about myself and my culture over recent years and I feel Howard is the proper environment to try to genuinely implement social change as well as receive instruction from educators that can relate to my personal story, and background. I yearn for mentoring and instruction that will legitimately help me become a better person not just in the classroom but in life and feel this can only be granted by such a decorated institution as Howard University. I have aspirations of being an African-American
