Recommended: Benefits of receiving a scholarship

Financial Need

I am applying for this scholarship because I need all of the help that I can get paying for school. This semester I paid for school with a loan and have been working night shifts to pay for housing, food, and what the loan did not pick up. The less of a loan I have to take out the better but right now I had to pay for almost all of my tuition with a loan. Last summer I worked full time had I not been able to get such a good job last summer I would not have had enough money to be able to go to school. I don't want to have such a close call this time. I am working a full time summer job right now but it does not pay as well as my job last summer did and does not provide the overtime hours I would like to have.

My parents were able to help me out this year on one insurance payment when I hadn't gotten my check from work and that stretched them pretty thin. They would like to help more but right now they can't. I don't want to have to ask of them something that they are willing to give but will just make things more difficult for them.

The most important to me in school right now is getting good grades and doing well in all of my classes. At the same time I need to work to have enough money to pay for everything, and this semester I barely had enough to keep going to school. I was very close deciding that I may have to postpone school for awhile, fortunately I found a side-job for a couple of weekends that gave me just enough to keep going. I want to be able to finish my schooling without having to keep delaying it because of money. I believe that this scholarship will help. I will continue to work and do my best to be able to completely support myself and pay for college, but any help that I can get will furthe...

...d set together we would get so happy, when they failed or if someone rejected the message we would be equally devastated. When investigators saw that we cared so much about them, that they mattered to us, it motivated and changed them. These experiences further fueled my desire to help others and I was determined that it would not end once my mission did.
One of the greatest things that I gained on my mission was the ability to see people’s potential, what they can become, and what they can become when the Spirit of God acts in their lives. I learned how much a worthy conduit of that same Spirit can help and how essential the Spirit really is, not only in our church callings but in our everyday lives; it changes and influences our interactions with others. I plan to bring the knowledge I gained from my mission to my professional life so I can better help others.

    Although, I had the completely wrong view. I learned that a person is a person regardless of a person's social status or by what they do or don't have. I also realized that even though a mission trip is meant to help those in need, I needed missionaries myself. I realize that even though we help the kids at the Ruidoso orphanage, I feel like they helped me shape who I am as a person in a dramatic way. Whether it was by feeding us lunch to playing a game of soccer with us, they positively affected my life in a huge mental way.

    I have learned how to be an optimistic person and spread positivity with others. Recently I went to Puerto Rico to visit my family and there I met a numerous amount of vagrant people who did not have food on a daily basis nor a home to come to after an elongated day. I felt so pleased to be able to bless those individuals with nutrition, water, and clothes. Before I developed into who I am now, I did not have goals and accomplishments, I did not really have a determination in life. Learning who Christ was helped me become more linguistic, kinesthetic and spatial.

  • Scholarships Rewarding Special Talents

    528 Words  | 2 Pages

    For many years now, advocates for giving out scholarships based only on financial need have been pushing to remove special abilities from the criteria to award the money. This proposed system is already in use in the form of financial aid. Scholarships were created to reward individuals who exhibited talent that would benefit the college. Therefore, the basis for giving scholarships should consist equally of scholastic achievement, athletic ability, and need. Scholarships are in place to reward special talents. They should remain separate from financial aid where the only determining factor is need.

    I plan to graduate from College of the Sequoias with an Associate’s Degree in communications and to maintain a grade point average of at least a 3.7. Once I earn my degree, I will transfer to a university where I will begin to work on my master’s degree. With my master’s degree I can pursue my dream of working for Disney Parks in public relations. While I am still a college student, I will apply and hopefully be given the opportunity to participate in the Disney College Program as well as a Disney Professional Internship. These internships will help me to learn more about working in the field of communications, to gain practical experience and to network with individuals who can help me achieve my career goals. A scholarship would be incredibly helpful for me to achieve all that I intend to by allowing me to devote more time to my school work. Since I currently work two jobs, as a tutor and as a sales associate, it is often difficult to find time and energy to complete my schoolwork. If I were to earn a scholarship, it would allow me to work fewer hours a week so that I can focus more of my energy and time on my education. That way, I can get the best grades possible and have the best chance of success in my

    Our goal as a church was to go into another community and share the gospel with them but we did it in a unique way, through community service. Together we volunteered in a trailer park to clean up trash, fix gardens, redo roofing, paint and clean trailers. While doing this I meet an old woman who appreciated what we were doing for her and her home and wanted to know why. This gave my small group and I an opportunity to help guide her to Christ and when we left not only did we give her a better and beautiful community and trailer to live in, but we left her with a bible and a thirst to learn more about our God. This experience was important to me because it showed how one can truly make a difference in people’s lives just through serving

    In the small communities of northwestern Wisconsin, we typically do not realize how local businesses affect our everyday lives and play an important role in our community. How often do we walk into a business and are greeted by name by one of the friendly employees? Although this does not seem unfamiliar to us, we take for granted this value that comes only from local businesses. The friendly service and close relationships is only one of the many benefits of buying services from a local provider.

    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.

However, I did not receive enough to help pay for anything other than tuition. Books and room and board are being paid out of pocket, and because this school year in the nursing program is so strenuous, it is hard for me to work enough hours to pay for such things and then have the funds for other necessities such as food. Both of my parents are also going to school full time, and I have two younger siblings at home.
