In my final year of my undergraduate education, my most prominent academic goal is to utilize my remaining access in these studios and time to spend in these amazing facilities to make a body of work that fully reflects my perspective as an artist. In addition to this, I plan to fully embrace the valuable feedback of my faculty and peers and to enjoy the time that is given to fully develop our concepts and techniques. Professionally, my immediate goals are to allow myself to be in a position after graduation where I will be able to continue exploring and making work that is mutually investigative and informed by design. I plan to pursue both residencies and graduate programs that could facilitate this further investigation, but I am also open to seeing how my plans develop and change over the next several months. …show more content…
In conjunction with my work in the textiles department I have also had the opportunity to concentrate in Literary Arts Studies and topics of Gender, Race, and Sexuality. The overlapping space of these three focuses has really allowed me to explore my unique perspective and role as a creator of art. My reason for seeking scholarship is one of of necessity, but it is something that has given me a deep appreciation for my work the my ability to create it within such a vibrantly creative space. As a scholarship recipient and work study student, I have found that the drive needed to balance these responsibilities has been heavily reflected in my studio practice over the course of my years at this school. With my three jobs on campus as well as being a full time student, I feel as though my ability to manage my time and work within constraints has been

I am a prospective art history major and visual studies minor. To me, art has been a passion rooted in my very soul and an inseparable part of my life ever since I started painting at nine years old. However, where I come from, pursuing art is rarely respected or supported. As a result, I spent both my freshmen and sophomore year as a STEM major. Yet throughout my freshmen year, experiencing art while visiting New York was the fountain of my happiness. I can still vividly remember the holiday windows, New York Fashion Week, and especially the artworks in countless galleries and museums I visited. Spurred by my thirst for art, I took an Asian art history course, where I got to examine how philosophy, politics and local culture shaped Asian art by studying monuments, paintings and calligraphy. Art sustained me through the many frustrations of academic pressure and cultural barriers, and I became determined to make art my life’s pursuit.
1. Earlier this semester I went to have a look around the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Unlike my many previous trips to the museum, the trip I took on September 7th was very different, my friend Griffin and I were on a serious mission. From our favorites we sought out the perfect piece of art to write an essay about. Upon entering the Hall of European Art, I gazed up at one of my favorite paintings in the museum’s permanent collection; A Portrait of Sarah Siddons. During my time in high school, I went to the museum on several occasions, one of which was for an event hosted to help AP art students find the right college. Although I had no intention of attending a university for the pursuit of artistic studies, my visual arts teacher urged me
I would like to attend The University of Tennessee, Knoxville because I have heard that it is a great school, I think that Tennessee is a gorgeous place, and because UT has phenomenal school spirit.
In addition to my academic interest, I also draw, paint, and sculpt in my free time and have taken classes dedicated to this interest. While most might not feel as if that sets them apart, I have used my creativity and abilities in the fine arts to my advantage. My creative edge allows me to carry out creative solutions to problems and labs in class that most others might not realize as a solution. Because of art, I have developed the mindset of analyzing problems by looking at the bigger picture and not only looking at the problem in real life but theoretically.
Being the first one to attend college in my family has pushed me to continue my education. Now in today’s society a college degree is so important. I want my parents to be proud of me, and be happy with my high level career after college, and that starts with my education. I also hope to be an influence on my younger brother and show him that a college education is important. He looks up to me, and I need to be a good role model for him. I truly just want to get the best education and job for myself worth and make myself happy.
I want to be part of the wonderful experience of studying in one of the most artistic cities in the world because just like in Washington, I’m going to discover different parts of myself, make new friendships that will last a lifetime and learn about new ways of expressing

Most Nigerians are looking for scholarship opportunities to study in Canada. You have to understand that study abroad scholarships do not come easily, especially if you’re an international student searching for full tuition scholarships. Many Universities in Canada have what is known as academic scholarships, but this available to citizens to the country. In addition, schools do have scholarships for masters, but you need to be eligible to receive the free money by applying for the scholarships online.
Growing up poor and with no one in my family having gone to college, I knew that I had to find a way to better the future for myself and those around me. Watching my family face consistent financial struggle has shown me that a college education is very important. The circumstances in my life have taught me the importance of hard work and determination. Earning a Master’s degree in Taxation will provide me with the tools I need to continue making the future better for my family and me. A merit scholarship would significantly help me as I earn my Master’s degree at the University of Denver.
I was born in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, but lived the first ten years of my life in San Bernardo, a small town in the suburbs of the metropolitan area. To support the family, my father worked as a forklift driver, and my mother has a janitor. Early in my education, my dad seeking for better job opportunities moved back to Sao Paulo. However, living in the big city was far more expensive, and we end up in a poor neighborhood located fifteen miles from the downtown. I finished the high school in 1999 but instead applied for a college; I started working in one factory exactly like my father.
Life is full of opportunities. Being able to make your own decisions and what lifestyle you want to live in is a big opportunity. I know as a preteen, you have to start making decisions and attain goals. I want to get a scholarship to achieve my goals and be a successful student. There are many people my age who think about scholarships and why they want to get a scholarship, but their main reason why they want a one is because of the money.
Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.
While other university’s span one to two years, NYU stretches into three, forming full-fledged designers, training from drawing to CAD, understanding the importance of giving people a base and a variety tools. In addition to technical knowledge, it offers courses on history, matching my admiration for well-researched design. Even more admirable is the teachers who are also professionals in their fields, that teach these classes. When I visited I observed how the professor shared examples from his own work and demonstrated the pages he visited for sources. For someone who enjoys searching for designers, it was a delight to discover that the designer for Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Christine Jones, is an NYU faculty member. In addition to their faculty, NYU collaborates with Columbia’s directing program, helping students build external connections. Teaming up directors and designers, from early on, is crucial, demonstrated by Rufus Norris (current artistic director of the National Theatre) with Susan Hilferty (faculty member and a designer in Salome, and Angels in America). Aside from the professors and connection program, I hail NYU’s commitment to mold their students not only into artists but prepared professionals, through a course, transitioning into the profession, giving students necessary tools once they leave campus. With all these preceding reasons, how could anyone with a thirst for theatre and set
By performing research that creates new understanding, new technologies and the potential for action, my purpose for pursuing graduate school at this phase of my life is to propel my professional presence and career. I believe strongly in the potential of graduate study and research to ameliorate the challenges of society to accelerate growth into new life changing solutions and drive progress in technology, the economy and other areas. A significant proportion of our better health, wealth and general wellbeing whether environmental, cultural, social or spiritual was made possible by the research performed by universities and through the actions of people who were drawing on the benefits of their university education. While some significant research is currently ongoing in the broad spectrum in my country, research in the sensitive area of aerospace and astronautics has been shrouded entirely. Though graduate work can be pursued at any time, I envision this as the first stepping stone and point of contact to addressing the problems of society at the local, national and international level and therefore no further time can be wasted. Having being exposed to research right from my graduation from college at The Energy Center, a research institution for Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, I lucidly understand the relationship between research and development and its underlying impact. Currently, a research project on the Solar Export Potential Study (SEPS) for Ghana has been an eye opener to my latency. This research gave me the opportunity to explore further my abilities in using geographic information systems (GIS) to implement solutions which were crucial to the project. I believe in challenging traditional and con...
