I appreciate the opportunities which served as a huge step for me and benefits I was given as a veteran that served in the military; Post 911 GI Bill, VA Benefits, and opening this door of wonderful opportunities succeeding as a veteran, however my finances which is crucial for my success as a student has fallen. It has been a struggle, but the finances have been getting worse and worse, however I am confident that with a scholarship my chances to succeed increase. Therefore assistance with a scholarship will help me to become a great engineer and will grow to help others. The thing I appreciate most about helping others is that it has given me the opportunity to be thankful for the support I have been given. I hope to be able to repay
A humanitarian is a person promoting human welfare and social reform. In other words, to be a humanitarian is to care about life and help make a change for the betterment of life in general for the general populace or even a specified group that required the help. "The Humanitarian award was created to recognize outstanding individuals who dedicate their time to fighting indifference, intolerance, and injustice." ~Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. My humanitarian nomination helped and continues to help my family in big ways.
My parents refused to pay for my car, gas, and education so that I could gain the full experience that life has to offer. Working late hours as a waiter and on the back of a garbage truck has made me a stronger person and I see the value of hard work. Unlike Henry Adams, the education that I am receiving at FAU will be more than just a "regular step". This will be an experience that I have earned and therefore care much more about than he did. At FAU, I will encounter those who come from more and less
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.
I should receive a DCU because I believe that it will allow me to be able to further my education and pursue my dreams that I have. This scholarship will help me pay for my college tuition and classes. The college I plan on attending will be in North Carolina so I will be paying in state tuition and I’m trying my best to lower the cost of that. I want to major in art or architecture and I plan on working for a major architecture business of even running my own business. If not that then I plan to become a famous artist, I am confident in my ability to do both of those because I have been studying art in high school from the beginning courses all the way to the independent study courses where I choose my own projects. The DCU scholarship is
With all of the downfalls that I have experienced in my academic and personal life, a college education will make it possible for me to continue my journey into becoming a prestigious corporate lawyer. I have the drive for success and I am certain that with this scholarship I will be able to pay off my debt and help my mother with her own educational goals. I was content that I was able to encourage her to attend school and I am most fortunate to be given an opportunity to help both her and myself achieve our ultimate goals for the near future.
I choose to challenge myself by taking honors and AP classes. I can overcome obstacles that stand in my way and persevere through tough problems. I participate in school through my involvement in Student Council as an Executive Treasurer, Key Club as an active member, Varsity Tennis, Science Club, Band as Section Leader and National Honor Society. As well as in school, I help out in my community, whether it’s at my church, as a volunteer at the Bitterroot Public Library, or helping to preserve the Daly Mansion. If I am awarded this scholarship, I will use it towards college tuition and I will work hard to pursue my career as an
With a scholarship, it can help me shape my dreams in being the first in my family to obtain a bachelor’s degree.

I knew I was going to college and that things were going to be different for me and I was going to make a difference. I won’t be the black kid who drops out of school, because my education is too important to
Since attending East Duplin High School, I have faced many obstacles, late night homework, and family issues that just add on to the stress of being a student. I have enjoyed my high school, but I can’t wait for what college has to offer me. However, have reached the recent dilemma of needing financial aid for college. I believe that i deserve the Mill Swamp Community Club Scholarship because I have worked hard throughout my high school career, I have grown up in the community, and with the money I plan not only to better myself, but bring back my knowledge from college and apply to my home community.
Between the stressful schedules and pricey cost to attend to the difference between getting a job and not getting it was a high school diploma or a college degree. I am interested in furthering my education through college and eventually graduate school, because I believe and know that my degree will give me the best possible chance to be successful in whatever I choose to do after I graduate. I’m confident that I will not only be able to put in an excess amount of time and effort, but be able to surpass the goals I am setting for myself. Being considered for this scholarship will aid me on my path to success. I’m committed to making a great name for myself and to being a role model to those who are younger than
Receiving my first collegiate scholarship was a very important point in my life. This is a wonderful experience that I would like to thank you for personally. I concluded my second year with all A’s and a cumulative 3.87 GPA. This summer I worked on a research project within the communication college at Ohio State, and in the fall I will begin my third year of college as a strategic communication major. I also hold multiple part time jobs, one of which being an audio visual technician in the Ohio Union. This scholarship will greatly alleviate some financial stress my parents and I have met during my time as a student.
There is this one quote that I also have in mind and believe, "Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
I would firstly like to recognize God´s sovereignty in my life and that without His mercy towards me I wouldn’t be anything. Since I was born, my parents’ main concern was to teach me how to live the Christian lifestyle and obtain qualities like honesty, responsibility, and perseverance. I learned to be independent from a very young age since my parents couldn’t always help me with my homework or school related chores; but that shaped me to become what I am now, an organized and determined teenager. I discovered I loved writing poetry and short stories since I was a little girl. I had a big imagination and a thirst for knowledge that has stayed with me ever since.
To Mr. & Mrs. David Jarvis, Thank you for reviewing my application for the Jarvis Scholarship, I am thankful for your time and your generosity. Taken through Texas Tech University, I would use the scholarship funds to help pay for the summer classes that I plan to complete for my junior year of high school. It would go to 1 of the 5 classes and the textbooks that I will have to purchase for the classes that I will be required to take in order for me to successfully complete my junior year. I reason that I deserve the scholarship because I work hard in each and every one of my classes, I study and contemplate how I can do better on tests and other academics that I am involved in. I also deserve the scholarship because I am dedicated to
