The reason why I feel like I should receive a scholarship is because I have always proven to be great student and I am able to earn high grades in every class because of my hard work ethic. Hard work is not something I am afraid of and I expect it. The CPA Exam is difficult and the proper materials are needed. Hard work is an essence

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... 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

Why I Deserve A Scholarship

I feel that I should be granted this scholarship for multiple reasons. All of which lead back to my success as a person. I enjoy learning, I take pride in what I have, I don't take anything for granted, and I always try my best. Receiving this scholarship would be the equivalent to a driven student who is determined to see results and succeed. I feel that I should be granted the scholarship for financial reasons, and those reasons reflect onto other reasons why I would be a good candidate for the scholarship. I attend Michigan State University, I am in the Spartan Marching Band, I do intramural sports, and I have a job on campus when I don't have extracurriculars. I'm doing all of these things with a major in mechanical engineering, a concentration in biomedical, and a minor in computer science. To top it all off, I will be paying for all of this myself. My parents do whatever they can to help my siblings and me through college, and I am very thankful for that, but they don't have the money to help me. I also have two siblings who are in college as well so they wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. My entire year is not covered either, so in order to pay for my books, classes, room, and board, I'm willing to do anything so.. more content... Getting through college is very important to me because not only do I want to see myself succeed and be happy in whatever I do, but also because it will make me part of the first generation of my entire extended family to graduate from college. This combined with my outgoing, driven attitude make me a good candidate to receive the scholarship. In fact, I'm already beginning to see the results of my efforts because I had an internship by the end of my freshman year, which is very uncommon at MSU. I am getting a very high quality education at MSU, and to give that up because I can't afford it would be devastating given the fact that I thrive as a student, a worker, and a person while I'm in

I believe that I should be awarded this scholarship because I come from a background in which my parents did not go far with education. This has made life hard for my family and myself. My mother is unable to work because she is dealing with multiple sicknesses and my father, who was our main source of income, passed away. My parent both put a lot of pressure on me to get a good education, but we lack the funds to make my dreams of becoming a doctor a reality. If I am awarded this scholarship, I would be so grateful and it would not go to waste.

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.. 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 attending Brigham 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

Agriculture Scholarship

Whittni Ananin 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 leave my family and live elsewhere so I remained unhappy.
