Example Of Receiving A Scholarship
Receiving this scholarship would help me focus on school and athletics throughout college. I will be playing golf in college and this will help
eliminate the stress of having to work certain hours a week in order to make ends meet. Others around me will also benefit as I won't need as much
help financially. Getting through college with as little debt possible is a huge goal and this scholarship will help achieve that goal. College is supposed
to be an incredible experience, meeting new people and creating new memories all while getting an education. Not worrying about finances would help
the experience immensely and would make life after college more enjoyable as

Low Income Student Scholarship Essay
As a low–income student, life can be very hard. There are many academic, social, and emotional pressures coming from many different sources. He or
she is expected to overcome these obstacles that arise, and deal with them just as any other student would. I am a low–income student myself and I
truly believe I have overcome such challenges, and rose up to the occasion of the things life has thrown my way. My passion and experiences will
definitely lead me to leadership, service, and academic success at Moravian. Due to my family's financial woes, we were forced to move from place to
place multiple times. Almost every time, I was bullied for being different. Everywhere we moved, it was a low income neighborhood. I wasn't as

This year, I took control of Welcome Team, which was a bit disorganized from previous years. So far, we have helped welcome incoming freshman at
orientation, helped at Open House, given tours to new students, and helped hand out programs at the choral concerts. This is quite one of my proudest
achievements, because I never would have thought that I could grow a club so much in only a few months. Especially since welcoming is such an
important aspect of feeling included in an atmosphere, I thought that if Welcome Team grew, then perhaps social inclusion at Liberty would be more
prevalent. I have also tutored other students at Liberty through National Honors Society. I have tutored students in Algebra, Geometry, Biology, and
Spanish. One time in particular, earlier this year, I tutored a student who was in In–School Suspension. He was having trouble with his Spanish work,
and I specifically remember his saying that no one ever really tried to ever understand him, and that I was actually helping him. I believe in that
moment, I recognized the potential I have to truly make a difference in the lives of others. That is one of the main things I've always longed to

Being that I am a first–generation college student, finding guidance as I matriculate through college has been tough. I do not have any family
members that have went to college, therefore I solely depend on my university for guidance in my college endeavors and my career path. Due to
this, I want to be a part of the TRiO Scholars Program so that I can gain valuable advice, counseling services, and guidance to graduation. The
experience that I am seeking in this program is the ability to meet and connect with other students like myself. I believe that to be able to identify with
students who have come from various hardships like myself, allows for personal growth and a sense of community. I hope to gain this sense of
community by participating

The responsibility with becoming an executive of Environmental Club was exciting yet intimidating. The teacher's strike left rotting recycling from
June, requiring immediate disposal. Numerous obstacles, including the retirement of our teacher sponsor, the graduation of former executives, having
left limited information on essential duties, and the closing of the previously used recycling depot left me feeling nervous to say the least. However,
I was excited to take on this unique role. We confronted each problem as a new team and delegated roles. As Treasurer, I restructured finances and
operational logistics. I spent days researching sustainability practices and delved into the work ethic of various recycling companies. Not only did I find

Sharing a picture of cherished ones captures instances of community, family and friendship; whilst allowing us to relive the memorable occasion. I

My Experience At The Jefferson Scholarship Essay
I believe that my academic strengths, leadership ability, and appreciation of those who are different from me make me a great candidate for the
Jefferson scholarship. I've demonstrated unusual academic ability since elementary school. During my time at River Oaks Elementary, an International
Baccalaureate school, I enjoyed and excelled in the Gifted and Talented program. My second–grade teacher told my parents at the end of the year that
in his opinion I already knew all the material that I would learn in third grade. Therefore, he recommended that I skip the grade entirely. Although my
parents didn't let me skip third grade, I continued to challenge myself. I asked for extra homework and devoured half the books in the library in my
spare time. My wonderful teachers let me work at an accelerated pace and gave me higher level problems to keep me interested and enthusiastic about
school. Similarly, my eighth–grade Spanish teacher strongly recommended that I skip Spanish II and head straight to Spanish III my freshman year.
This time, I was old enough to express my desire to accelerate my learning; I urged my parents to let me skip the class and reassured them that I
wouldn't be too overwhelmed. They trusted my judgement, and I'm so thankful that I made this decision. I borrowed my teacher's book over the
summer and pored over it for an hour every day until I was confident in my abilities. It was intimidating walking into the sophomore– and junior–filled
class on that first

Example Of A Scholarship Essay
Ronald Reagan stated that, "there are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, and no barriers to our progress except
those we ourselves erect." Mr. Reagan's quote reminds me of the fact that as individuals, we are in control of our destiny; the only obstacle between
us and our dreams, is the ones we create. It is often said that a true leader is one who leads by example; through my community service and leadership
opportunities, I was able to become an example for not only youths in general, but also my community. As a female raised in the African–American
community, I wanted to be an example and beacon for my community. Consequently, I became the Director of Diversity and Awareness at Palm Beach

I have hired motivational speakers such as Carlos Andres Gomez, a Social Justice and Diversity speaker, to speak about diversity and its importance
to the functioning of society. I have served as the Captain of my high school's Debate team which enabled me to reach out to a larger audience about
expressing themselves and the best ways to express themselves. Before going to debate competitions, it would be my duty to ensure that the debaters
have research prepared to make speeches for every bill on the docket. I hosted mock debates where we practice, question and organize every speech in
preparation for competition. Through my position, I was able to show my fellow debaters the importance of self–expression and the value of the
debate. I was able to bring about awareness on topics that affects high school and college students while proving to youths like myself how to
express themselves. As a leader, I helped prepare my team for visits to various courthouses in Palm Beach County where they met prominent
attorneys and judges. Due to my role as a leader and the help of teachers and counselors, our team has had great success and our school became an
"A" rated school. In fact, some of our previous debaters has won the Gates Millennium Scholarship and like me, won the Florida Girls State

Fine Arts Scholarship Essay
I started at taking art classes in high school to explore how I might use art to change and shape the world around me and I started to learn the
demands and possibilities of what art could do and what I could do. From fifth grade into my sophomore year college my mother had cancer and
various types at that, and so 50% of my responsibilities were home and the other 50% were at school. I ended up missing school often, but I managed
to graduate high school in three years so my mother could see me graduate because it was one of her dreams. After high school graduation, I quickly

I want a damp forehead because I am working so hard, and I want to wake up with charcoal on my face because I had been up all night finishing an
assignment. The major I want to pursue is Fine Arts because I cannot see myself doing anything else than wanting to make fine art. The fine arts
program will allow me to intertwine the arts, and take classes I intend to accomplish and achieve knowledge that will help pursue my aspiration of
being a working artist in today's world. Going into an area that may not have a very optimistic employment opportunities has put my friends and family

As an inspirational leader, I am devoted to mentoring those around me and fostering a feeling of empowerment in everyone I know. My history and
experiences have provided the tools necessary to inspire and motivate my friends and family to feel what it means to receive hope, to survive
throughout life, and to never giving up to what is right.
Since I was eight years old, I've been responsible for many of the household chores. Keeping the house clean, washing dishes until they were sparkling
clean, sweeping the floor dirty–free, and doing laundry while folding clothes perfectly, it really was an everyday kind of thing. Although, my

As the oldest sister in my family, sticking together and cooperating with one another is something I really hold dear to me. To that measure, when I
entered middle school, I would sometimes convince my two male siblings to follow me to my little sister's school to pick her up. Back when my
grandma was alive, she would always tell us to stick together, that's what I told my siblings, they took my word for it, and trailed behind me
following me to the destination, however it wasn't that long of a journey just a few blocks away from our school. It really didn't matter about the
location; as a leader, sticking together and not leaving anyone behind is something that I do best, if that is not leading then who am I.
I have always admired leaders that dedicate their lives to making positive changes in our world. Dr. Martin Luther King with his "I have a dream"
speech and Harriet Tubman, who was a slave used her last bit of energy to help other to freedom, through my eyes these people were true heroes.

Sample Cover Letter: Applying For A Scholarship
To whom this may concern, "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we
have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand", said Vince Lombardi. This is something that I have tried to live by because I believe you can
only do the best you can do and your personal success should be judged on those standards. My Gap Seminar experiences attest to Vince Lombardi's
life motto. When going into the first Relationship Strategies class with Ann Gadbury as my instructor, I had the least of expectations from the class

We are all capable of constructing a near perfect essay that includes impeccable grammar and punctuation, highlighting our utmost strengths and

Why I Deserve This Scholarship
I should be chosen for this scholarship because I am a positive, hard working student who is very involved in my school and my community, and has
future goals. I believe that I hold all those characteristics, plus many more.
School is very important to me. I show this by working hard in my classes and being involved in extracurricular activities. I have received all A's
throughout my high school years and my teachers can always depend on me. At school I am a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletics, Math Club,
Smith Cotton United Foreign Language Club, Key Club, Show Choir, National Honor Society, and the Tennis team. I enjoy activities where I can learn
and have fun at the same time.
School to me though is not just about getting the good grades, it is also about reaching out and helping other students. Through the activities that I
am involved in, I try to be a leader, but not in the normal ways that one might think of. I am a leader by being nice to others, praising them when
they are doing something well, and by showing the right example. People will respect and look up to you if you show them love and compassion. To
me that is what a leader is all about. Not only do I work hard at school to get good grades and to be a leader, but I also work hard out of school. For the
past three years I have been working for the Wheeler and Woolery families. During my time with these families, I have babysat Ms. Woolery's two
children, worked at the Pork Place

At Ajax high school, I have volunteered in various departments. This involvement has equipped me with a tremendous amount of leadership skills.
I am a member of the general council. I also volunteered in assisting the drama department in last year's musical. Through this job I painted sets
and helped make props for the actors to use. I enjoyed helping this department presenting this play because I see first hand how even the smallest
tasks can elevate a simple school play to a dramatic masterpiece. My contribution brought me great joy. Alongside with assisting the musical, I have
volunteered, to helping my school tech crew. I was also involved in a kindergarten graduation. Although I do not consider myself "Techy", I felt it
was important to get involved in my school, so I made myself available and surprised myself into what a contributed. It was a great success. In
addition, I have volunteered I my school's after school program and helping with events that are held, for example, Grade 9 day. This was the first day
of high school for those coming from junior school. We meet the new freshmen and make myself available to them if they or their parent needed
assistance.
As I progress throughout life I know I will always be involved in community service because of the rewarding experiences. Not just because I think it
is important, but because it is something I enjoy doing and look forward to. I love bringing joy to others and

Department of Agriculture and Nutrition Scholarship Essay
9 January, 2017
I choose to pursue an agriculture degree because I have always felt drawn to the field. I have loved animals and felt a strong desire to care for them
since I was a little girl. Animals mean the world to me and when they're doing well, my heart can rest. I absolutely love farm animals and fully intend
to have my own sort of miniature zoo on a hobby farm. During high school I was in FFA and 4H and thoroughly enjoyed showing chickens and rabbits.
I started out as a biology major at Dixie State but did not find satisfaction because there were no animal science courses available, but I was unable to

Athletic Scholarships Essay
Athletic Scholarships
There are many good athletes in professional sports today. There are many good athletes in college sports today also. Some of the biggest names in
sports are Mark McGwire, Steve Young, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, and so on. Now, imagine if all of those players never made it to the pros.
What would happen to professional sports? Why are they in the pros now? To make it into professional sports you need more than just talent. You need
opportunity. College scholarships not only give athletes the opportunity to reach the professional ranks, but also give the chance for many players to
earn a degree in higher education. Many people dream of being a professional athlete. Some people make it a reality, but...show more content...
After it's done baking, the final product is a delicious cake. The cake can't be complete without it being baked. There can not be a missed step in the
process. Could Mark McGwire have made it to the pros without attending The University of Southern California(USC) on an athletic scholarship or
Michael Jordan without attending North Carolina, Allen Iverson without attending Georgetown University, or Steve Young without attendingBrigham
Young University? To earn a spot on a roster, you can not miss a step in the process of getting there. A college scholarship is a giant step. Along with
college scholarships being a step to making it into professional sports, it is also many times the only way for some people to earn a college degree.
College is very expensive and can many times run young adults into a large debt once out of college. For example, USC can cost up to $25,000 a
year to attend. That includes tuition, books, parking, room, and board. At the end of a 4 year term at USC, the total comes out to about $100,000.
That $100,000 is excluding other living expenses such as gas, car payment, car insurance, clothing, and general spending money. Not only is that figure
contained to USC but can be easily applied to Georgetown, Brigham Young and The University of North Carolina. That's a very expensive education
and not everybody has the luxury of spending that much money. Many people would

Dear donor of the First Generation Scholarship, I would like to share with you how grateful I am to have been selected for the First Generation

being able to manage the cost of higher education, nor believing the probability of being selected for a scholarship. Opening the letter and reading
the words, "Congratulations, I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected...", was one of the most surprising and emotionally charged
moments of my life. I simply could not believe what I was reading, especially considering that this was the first and only time I have applied for a

I remember thinking when I got married at 20 years old, that I wanted to be the best wife I could be and everything else would fall into place when the
time came. After my husband returned from his first and last deployment to Iraq –– no longer the same; he was mentally and physically broken ––
caring for him became a larger priority than everything else. As I adjusted from being a wife to the sole caregiver of my husband, I placed more of
my educational aspirations on hold. Again, I told myself that everything else would fall into place. When his younger brother had a life–changing
accident, I took him into my home and cared for him and have continued to do so for the past eight years. After my husband and I had children, I

because I didn't know how to ask my family for help and mental illness wasn't just a usual topic that was discussed in my family because nobody in
my family had dealt with a mental illness. I struggled in silence for about four months; I would have panic attacks at school and it was difficult for
me to be around people. I was the person who decided enough was enough, so I gathered up all of the courage that I had to go speak to my high

The various ethnicities that comprise the student body across the country has influenced education in today's society. At any time one can look up the
breakdown of the different ethnic groups in schools, and I see the greatest effect of this statistic translating into money being given to further
education particularly at the college level. With senior year in progress, college is right around the corner, and much more inevitable for a successful
future than ever before in the world we live in. But in order to receive an education at the collegiate level, we must be able to afford it, which is a

If the concept of the social construct is created to include race relations, isn't irony at the center of the reasoning behind "equal" education? Rather
than enforcing criteria to attain a scholarship, my opinion is that these scholarships influence people's views on race relations. President Obama
brought up a very paramount remark in "Poll finds most think race relations are bad" by stating, "For too long we've been blind to the way past
injustices continue to shape the present" (Sack). I believe this is an accurate comment since as of late we have seen the support, as well as the
objection, towards the Confederate flag flying in South Carolina. In other words, turmoil has not completely gone away in regards to physical
appearance as depicted by the discrepancy in South Carolina, demonstrating the controversy between those of various looks with their scholarship
opportunities. With this being said, it can be inferred that there are multiple outlooks on the scholarship considerations. In fact, white students receive
more than three–quarters (76%) of all institutional merit–based scholarship and grant funding while making up 61.8% of the population (Kantrowitz)
as opposed to minorities, making up the remaining 38.2% of the population, receiving 48.5% of financial aid grants because they are more likely to be

I will be playing golf in college and this will help eliminate the stress of having to work certain hours a week in order to make ends meet.

He or she is expected to overcome these obstacles that arise, and deal with them just as any other student would. I am a low–income student myself and I truly believe I have overcome such challenges, and rose up to the occasion of the things life has thrown my way. My passion and experiences will definitely lead me to leadership, service, and academic success at Moravian. Due to my family's financial woes, we were forced to move from place to place multiple times. Almost every time, I was bullied for being different. Everywhere we moved, it was a low income neighborhood. I wasn't as rowdy as some...show more content... This year, I took control of Welcome Team, which was a bit disorganized from previous years. So far, we have helped welcome incoming freshman at orientation, helped at Open House, given tours to new students, and helped hand out programs at the choral concerts. This is quite one of my proudest achievements, because I never would have thought that I could grow a club so much in only a few months. Especially since welcoming is such an important aspect of feeling included in an atmosphere, I thought that if Welcome Team grew, then perhaps social inclusion at Liberty would be more prevalent. I have also tutored other students at Liberty through National Honors Society. I have tutored students in Algebra, Geometry, Biology, and Spanish. One time in particular, earlier this year, I tutored a student who was in In–School Suspension. He was having trouble with his Spanish work, and I specifically remember his saying that no one ever really tried to ever understand him, and that I was actually helping him. I believe in that moment, I recognized the potential I have to truly make a difference in the lives of others. That is one of the main things I've always longed to Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I do not have any family members that have went to college, therefore I solely depend on my university for guidance in my college endeavors and my career path. Due to this, I want to be a part of the TRiO Scholars Program so that I can gain valuable advice, counseling services, and guidance to graduation. The experience that I am seeking in this program is the ability to meet and connect with other students like myself. I believe that to be able to identify with students who have come from various hardships like myself, allows for personal growth and a sense of community. I hope to gain this sense of community by participating Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The teacher's strike left rotting recycling from June, requiring immediate disposal. Numerous obstacles, including the retirement of our teacher sponsor, the graduation of former executives, having left limited information on essential duties, and the closing of the previously used recycling depot left me feeling nervous to say the least. However, I was excited to take on this unique role. We confronted each problem as a new team and delegated roles. As Treasurer, I restructured finances and operational logistics.

  • 5. My Experience At The Jefferson Scholarship Essay I believe that my academic strengths, leadership ability, and appreciation of those who are different from me make me a great candidate for the Jefferson scholarship. I've demonstrated unusual academic ability since elementary school. During my time at River Oaks Elementary, an International Baccalaureate school, I enjoyed and excelled in the Gifted and Talented program. My second–grade teacher told my parents at the end of the year that in his opinion I already knew all the material that I would learn in third grade. Therefore, he recommended that I skip the grade entirely. Although my parents didn't let me skip third grade, I continued to challenge myself. I asked for extra homework and devoured half the books in the library in my spare time. My wonderful teachers let me work at an accelerated pace and gave me higher level problems to keep me interested and enthusiastic about school. Similarly, my eighth–grade Spanish teacher strongly recommended that I skip Spanish II and head straight to Spanish III my freshman year. This time, I was old enough to express my desire to accelerate my learning; I urged my parents to let me skip the class and reassured them that I wouldn't be too overwhelmed. They trusted my judgement, and I'm so thankful that I made this decision. I borrowed my teacher's book over the summer and pored over it for an hour every day until I was confident in my abilities. It was intimidating walking into the sophomore– and junior–filled class on that first Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Example Of A Scholarship Essay Ronald Reagan stated that, "there are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, and no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect." Mr. Reagan's quote reminds me of the fact that as individuals, we are in control of our destiny; the only obstacle between us and our dreams, is the ones we create. It is often said that a true leader is one who leads by example; through my community service and leadership opportunities, I was able to become an example for not only youths in general, but also my community. As a female raised in the African–American community, I wanted to be an example and beacon for my community. Consequently, I became the Director of Diversity and Awareness at Palm Beach State College....show more content... I have hired motivational speakers such as Carlos Andres Gomez, a Social Justice and Diversity speaker, to speak about diversity and its importance to the functioning of society. I have served as the Captain of my high school's Debate team which enabled me to reach out to a larger audience about expressing themselves and the best ways to express themselves. Before going to debate competitions, it would be my duty to ensure that the debaters have research prepared to make speeches for every bill on the docket. I hosted mock debates where we practice, question and organize every speech in preparation for competition. Through my position, I was able to show my fellow debaters the importance of self–expression and the value of the debate. I was able to bring about awareness on topics that affects high school and college students while proving to youths like myself how to express themselves. As a leader, I helped prepare my team for visits to various courthouses in Palm Beach County where they met prominent attorneys and judges. Due to my role as a leader and the help of teachers and counselors, our team has had great success and our school became an "A" rated school. In fact, some of our previous debaters has won the Gates Millennium Scholarship and like me, won the Florida Girls State Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Fine Arts Scholarship Essay I started at taking art classes in high school to explore how I might use art to change and shape the world around me and I started to learn the demands and possibilities of what art could do and what I could do. From fifth grade into my sophomore year college my mother had cancer and various types at that, and so 50% of my responsibilities were home and the other 50% were at school. I ended up missing school often, but I managed to graduate high school in three years so my mother could see me graduate because it was one of her dreams. After high school graduation, I quickly jumped into community college starting in the summer. In college, I had responsibilities at home but I found my self always thinking and making art.

The fine arts program will allow me to intertwine the arts, and take classes I intend to accomplish and achieve knowledge that will help pursue my aspiration of being a working artist in today's world. Going into an area that may not have a very optimistic employment opportunities has put my friends and family on an edge but I can do this and I can do it well.

My history and experiences have provided the tools necessary to inspire and motivate my friends and family to feel what it means to receive hope, to survive throughout life, and to never giving up to what is right. Since I was eight years old, I've been responsible for many of the household chores. Keeping the house clean, washing dishes until they were sparkling clean, sweeping the floor dirty–free, and doing laundry while folding clothes perfectly, it really was an everyday kind of thing. Although, my younger siblings, and my twin brother helped me in any step of the way, I was more of the leader then a follower because I enforced orders softly instead of...show more content... As the oldest sister in my family, sticking together and cooperating with one another is something I really hold dear to me. To that measure, when I entered middle school, I would sometimes convince my two male siblings to follow me to my little sister's school to pick her up. Back when my grandma was alive, she would always tell us to stick together, that's what I told my siblings, they took my word for it, and trailed behind me following me to the destination, however it wasn't that long of a journey just a few blocks away from our school. It really didn't matter about the location; as a leader, sticking together and not leaving anyone behind is something that I do best, if that is not leading then who am I. I have always admired leaders that dedicate their lives to making positive changes in our world. Dr. Martin Luther King with his "I have a dream" speech and Harriet Tubman, who was a slave used her last bit of energy to help other to freedom, through my eyes these people were true heroes.

  • 9. Sample Cover Letter: Applying For A Scholarship To whom this may concern, "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand", said Vince Lombardi. This is something that I have tried to live by because I believe you can only do the best you can do and your personal success should be judged on those standards. My Gap Seminar experiences attest to Vince Lombardi's life motto.

I am just like everyone else when it comes to finding your classes on the first day of school or getting used to certain instructors grading habits. But what is different about me is my ambition. I know I am destined to be more than I could ever imagine and the Gap Community College Partner Program Scholarship is my key to get there.

  • 10. Why I Deserve This Scholarship I should be chosen for this scholarship because I am a positive, hard working student who is very involved in my school and my community, and has future goals. I believe that I hold all those characteristics, plus many more. School is very important to me. I show this by working hard in my classes and being involved in extracurricular activities. I have received all A's throughout my high school years and my teachers can always depend on me. At school I am a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletics, Math Club, Smith Cotton United Foreign Language Club, Key Club, Show Choir, National Honor Society, and the Tennis team. I enjoy activities where I can learn and have fun at the same time. School to me though is not just about getting the good grades, it is also about reaching out and helping other students. Through the activities that I am involved in, I try to be a leader, but not in the normal ways that one might think of. I am a leader by being nice to others, praising them when they are doing something well, and by showing the right example. People will respect and look up to you if you show them love and compassion. To me that is what a leader is all about. Not only do I work hard at school to get good grades and to be a leader, but I also work hard out of school. For the past three years I have been working for the Wheeler and Woolery families. During my time with these families, I have babysat Ms. Woolery's two children, worked at the Pork Place Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I also volunteered in assisting the drama department in last year's musical. Through this job I painted sets and helped make props for the actors to use. I enjoyed helping this department presenting this play because I see first hand how even the smallest tasks can elevate a simple school play to a dramatic masterpiece. My contribution brought me great joy. Alongside with assisting the musical, I have volunteered, to helping my school tech crew. I was also involved in a kindergarten graduation. Although I do not consider myself "Techy", I felt it was important to get involved in my school, so I made myself available and surprised myself into what a contributed. It was a great success. In addition, I have volunteered I my school's after school program and helping with events that are held, for example, Grade 9 day. This was the first day of high school for those coming from junior school. We meet the new freshmen and make myself available to them if they or their parent needed assistance.

Some of the biggest names in sports are Mark McGwire, Steve Young, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, and so on. Now, imagine if all of those players never made it to the pros. What would happen to professional sports? Why are they in the pros now? To make it into professional sports you need more than just talent. You need opportunity.

The cake can't be complete without it being baked. There can not be a missed step in the process. Could Mark McGwire have made it to the pros without attending The University of Southern California(USC) on an athletic scholarship or Michael Jordan without attending North Carolina, Allen Iverson without attending Georgetown University, or Steve Young without attendingBrigham Young University? To earn a spot on a roster, you can not miss a step in the process of getting there. A college scholarship is a giant step. Along with college scholarships being a step to making it into professional sports, it is also many times the only way for some people to earn a college degree. College is very expensive and can many times run young adults into a large debt once out of college. For example, USC can cost up to $25,000 a year to attend. That includes tuition, books, parking, room, and board. At the end of a 4 year term at USC, the total comes out to about $100,000. That $100,000 is excluding other living expenses such as gas, car payment, car insurance, clothing, and general spending money. Not only is that figure contained to USC but can be easily applied to Georgetown, Brigham Young and The University of North Carolina. That's a very expensive education and not everybody has the luxury of spending that much money. Many people would Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Being a first–generation student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in my family is both exhilarating and intimidating. I never fathomed being able to manage the cost of higher education, nor believing the probability of being selected for a scholarship. Opening the letter and reading the words, "Congratulations, I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected...", was one of the most surprising and emotionally charged moments of my life. I simply could not believe what I was reading, especially considering that this was the first and only time I have applied for a scholarship. Too many times I heard how it was impossible to get one because there are too many people applying – it would be like winning the lottery.

I remember thinking when I got married at 20 years old, that I wanted to be the best wife I could be and everything else would fall into place when the time came. After my husband returned from his first and last deployment to Iraq –– no longer the same; he was mentally and physically broken –– caring for him became a larger priority than everything else. As I adjusted from being a wife to the sole caregiver of my husband, I placed more of my educational aspirations on hold. Again, I told myself that everything else would fall into place. When his younger brother had a life–changing accident, I took him into my home and cared for him and have continued to do so for the past eight years. After my husband and I had children, I started telling myself that I was going to be too old to ever go back to school; I instead focused on my kids' educational futures.

Although it was extremely difficult for me to get through my last three years of high school, I still encouraged and forced myself to go to school, instead of just dropping out and getting my GED or taking online courses to get my high school diploma.

When I began having panic attacks, I didn't let anyone close to me know what was going on because I didn't know how to ask my family for help and mental illness wasn't just a usual topic that was discussed in my family because nobody in my family had dealt with a mental illness. I struggled in silence for about four months; I would have panic attacks at school and it was difficult for me to be around people. I was the person who decided enough was enough, so I gathered up all of the courage that I had to go speak to my high school counselor to let her know that I was having panic attacks and that I didn't know what to do.

At any time one can look up the breakdown of the different ethnic groups in schools, and I see the greatest effect of this statistic translating into money being given to further education particularly at the college level. With senior year in progress, college is right around the corner, and much more inevitable for a successful future than ever before in the world we live in.

If the concept of the social construct is created to include race relations, isn't irony at the center of the reasoning behind "equal" education? Rather than enforcing criteria to attain a scholarship, my opinion is that these scholarships influence people's views on race relations. President Obama brought up a very paramount remark in "Poll finds most think race relations are bad" by stating, "For too long we've been blind to the way past injustices continue to shape the present" (Sack). I believe this is an accurate comment since as of late we have seen the support, as well as the objection, towards the Confederate flag flying in South Carolina. In other words, turmoil has not completely gone away in regards to physical appearance as depicted by the discrepancy in South Carolina, demonstrating the controversy between those of various looks with their scholarship opportunities. With this being said, it can be inferred that there are multiple outlooks on the scholarship considerations. In fact, white students receive more than three–quarters (76%) of all institutional merit–based scholarship and grant funding while making up 61.8% of the population (Kantrowitz) as opposed to minorities, making up the remaining 38.2% of the population, receiving 48.5% of financial aid grants because they are more likely to be low–income Get more content on HelpWriting.net
