$ 3, 000 Scholarship

Decent Essays
If I was to receive a $3,000 scholarship, I would be so happy. I would feel that I achieved something special. Not many students get to receive something like this. It’s a big deal. Since Financial Aid is hard for so many students and looking for scholarships that you are eligible for is hard sometimes. I wouldn’t take this scholarship for granted. It’s not something I could just let go of and waste my college experience and things I need for my future. I would use this scholarship to my full advantage and make my college experience worth it and not waste my time. I wouldn’t waste others time either, it’s good to be responsible. If I was offered this scholarship it would be something that I tried and worked hard for. It’d be something that

    There are various reasons as to why I’m deserving of the Etna-Dixmont School Scholarship. The most prevalent reason is my family history and connection with the town of Dixmont. My father and my grandparents moved to from Massachusetts to Dixmont, Maine when he was in second grade. My grandfather bought a house on Route 9 in Dixmont, and some other land in addition to that. The Dixmont Corner Church was built in 1835, and had an active one room school house next to it that was built in 1808.…

I have been playing softball since I could walk and, along with every other athlete, my dream is to play on the biggest and brightest stage possible.

    I feel like I am a good candidate for this scholarship because, as a senior, any and all money earned and received will help me ease the burden of attending college. My goal throughout my whole childhood was to receive a full ride scholarship to the college of my dreams; however, as time has gone on and I have matured I have come to the realization that, that dream is not as achievable as I once believed it to be. I have worked hard, inside and outside of the classroom, making the grades and creating the resume that colleges are looking for, and in response I have been offered tuition waivers. Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…

    Essay I am grateful for this opportunity to apply for the Viola B. Wilson Endowed Scholarship and the John S. Staley Memorial Fund scholarships. Scholarship opportunities have been of particular importance to me; I paid for my undergraduate education primarily on my own and will be paying for my graduate schooling on my own as well. While I am asking for financial help, my work ethic and commitment to education are a strong part of who I am.

    If I was to receive this scholarship it would not simply be another opportunity or thing to share around the table on Thanksgiving Day when I speak of my gratitude. This opportunity would change my life; my views would be uprooted and replanted leaving me in a molded and better state than before. My heart would be temporarily filled as my itch to travel and understand would be scratched. My heart would only be satisfied for a time because this would be the catalyst to a life of exploration and enrichment. I know that once my feet are planted in the soil of another nation and my word exchanged with new people, my spirit will eternally crave more; more people, more sights, more perspective, and more time.…
