Supplemental Questions 1) Coming from a low-income, Mexican-American family and being a first generation college student, I have struggled to pay for tuition and fees in the past. In high school, I was never told what kinds of financial aid options were available, yet alone how to apply for loans and how they operated. This prompted me to research the vast amount of financial aid offered here at Diablo Valley College. Not only do I know about general financial aid information, but I can provide the necessary assistance to students who either need information or be navigated through the FAFSA.…

Each year college is becoming more expensive and harder to afford. Working families are struggling to send their children away to college. College students come out of a four-year university or college with thousands of dollars in debt. The government created a system to help more people afford college. This is made available through financial aid.…
With each passing year, educational expenses continue to escalate and a collegiate experience is well beyond the financial means for many successful high school students, including myself. During difficulties in the past, my family has maneuvered through financial crises with extraordinary faith and by remaining together. As a result, I am compelled to join my brothers at North Greenville University in efforts to eliminate additional education expenses. Unfortunately, even with these implementations, my sister will only further complicate our evolving situation as she will enter college the following year. Therefore, the Weldon Wyatt Scholarship will not only secure my collegiate experience but will also enable my brothers to continue their…

Attending college is everybody goal in life especially for the family of the persons who is going, yet nobody tell us what to expect for our first semester. For instance, my family didn’t tell me about how the food would be, the finical aid, and the phone service. Don’t being told of what to except when you’re a first time student is very frustrating, because when you find out about something you’re in shock mood at times when you are told information. Prairie View was not the first choice I had in schools. Originally I wanted to attend Louisiana State University, when I got accept I relies that the out of state fee was more than tuition fee itself.…
