Thank You scholarship selection committee for selecting me to be one of this years scholarship recipients. I am honored to have received this award that will help me along this new chapter of my life. The Hispanic Development Fund Scholarship will help me tremendously to help me pay for my fees at Park University. It helps my parents and I to worry less about paying for college. I plan to major in biology to later get in toxicology. I’m very passionate about the field that I want to pursue. Without the support that this organization gives to many students many of us wouldn’t be able to have the opportunity to go to college to accomplish our dreams. I will work very hard to not let this organization down, my family and myself down. Thank you
To Mr. David Ibarra (Ibarra Foundation) My name is Silvia Araoz, I am from Peru. I am very grateful because I am one of the winners of the Ibarra Foundation Scholarship. This scholarship will give me the opportunity to finish my Paralegal Program at Salt Lake Community College. Now, I will be able to face this competitive life and develop my professional legal career helping immigrant people who is still struggling to find a bright path for them and their families. As a single mom and hispanic immigrant woman we deserve a better environment to life with regulations and laws that can help us to be successful in our lives. We come to this country with a commitment to contribute to its greatness, most of us are unskilled but our strongness and
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
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
A global citizen is that who is willing to use its voice and knowledge to make a change. No one would ever be able to make a change in just one day, it is something that takes time and devotion. I’m really interested in diversity and I’m seeking to what is my role is as a world citizen. The fact that I’m searching for an international education is the proof of my desire to establish myself as a global citizen and my interest in the world issues.
The National Honors Society is defined as an organization that acknowledges remarkable high school students who exemplify leadership, character, and service. But possessing these qualities, goes beyond a definition. It is a person: one who upholds their own moral convictions, is always willing to help others, and tries to be an integral part of the community. I believe I work to define myself as this kind of person daily and would be a valuable member to the National Honors Society.
I need this scholarship to achieve my goals and most importantly to make my family proud. My family did not get this chance that you are giving me so I am not just doing this for me, I am also doing this for them. I already have all the support from all of my family and all of my friends, but that alone is not enough to conquer my dreams, and to prove all the people that have doubted me that they were wrong. I hope that this organization can help me reach my goals, and to most importantly make them become a reality. I want to look back onto my life and know that this scholarship, and college helped me to be the man I will be. I hope you accept me into your college and most importantly giving me this
I hope that you can see my education and future are advancing as we speak. This doesn’t mean I haven’t had a few bumps in the road, because I have. Actually, some of the bumps have unfortunately been financial aid. But, I am growing. It is a day to day continual experience of growth and it’s exciting for me to see where it takes me. Again, thank you for this opportunity and all the work you do as an organization.
For a year and half after my graduation in December 2014, I have taken the time to strengthen my application. I worked as a dental assistant at Dr. Veroncia Chang’s office and Berkeley Orinda Oral Surgery to gain hands-on experience and better understanding of the profession. While working part-time, I took 21 units of upper division biology courses at UC Berkeley Extension to raise my undergraduate GPA and to equip myself better with broader biological knowledge. Furthermore, I retook my DAT and improved on both of the academic average and total science scores (AA 23, TS 25). Volunteer opportunities at the Lawrence Hall of Science and YWCA were both very rewarding times to stay connected to the local community.
I hope you are doing well. We spoke awhile back about the scholarship I received from the African American committee. I followed the instructions in the email you gave me but I have yet to receive a response. I just wanted to make sure that I had done what I needed to receive the scholarship award.
I have thus far endured through having a severe eye condition, not being able to have the kind of financial support I need from my family and being limited from getting a support from the US government because I am not a citizen or legal resident. But, I have also made both social contributions and academical achievements that have brought purpose to the cause of the hardships in my life. And after being though it all and coming out with a more precise strive for a better future, I face, yet again another hindrance to my plan to study Biochemistry and influence as many lives as I can in a positive way. And, since I need a support in order to reach my goal, that is why I need the Esperanza Scholarship.
Growing up in the Andes of Peru and currently living in the Mid-west, I’ve come to greatly appreciate the benefits of being multicultural. I know that to get the most out a new culture, one has to truly submerge one’s self and that’s exactly what I plan to during my study abroad. I study Biomedical engineering (BME) at Purdue University with the goal of working in the medical devices industry. Over the next Fall 2014 Semester, in the interest of expanding my studies, I will be participating in Denmark’s Technical University (DTU) exchange program. This program is unique because of the specialized BME classes, because it integrates our BME senior design project and because of the opportunities only found in Denmark. Thus, Denmark’s Technical University (DTU) will help me achieve my academic and profession goals and will make me a well-rounded engineer which will further enable me to succeed in improving the health of people and communities.
Applying to colleges has reignited my desire to reach Little Rock’s escape velocity. I’m ready to trade green trees and hiking trails for skyscrapers and digital billboards. Adjusting won’t be easy at first, but I trust that I’ll adapt quickly. Manhattan is where I belong. I am determined to find myself working on Wall Street one way or another.
I learned that life is going to throw you challenges and will attempt to set us back from our goals. Anybody can achieve any goal they set their minds to with hard work and determination. With my learning disability, I worked harder than those who were not limited in their strengths, but this turned out to be my ultimate strength. Working hard will only help you achieve in life. I view effort and trying as keys to success. I am a student diagnosed with a learning disability associated with my written expression, writing to your foundation because I never let a setback stop me from achieving my goals. I believe that I have an extraordinary message for others. I feel if I were the recipient for your scholarship it would definitely push me significantly closer to my goals coming from a son of a hard working single mother that I wish to give back what she has given
As a freshman, I thought no one would know who I was by the time I became a senior. From being involved in my school and community I have changed that idea. I think that I am the best candidate to qualify for this scholarship because I am a very hard working and driven student. I have had many academic achievements and have been very involved. I believe I am deserving of this scholarship because I have spent many hours of studying to get where I am today.
