    As a first-generation woman of color that comes from a low-income household, I quickly realized that the opportunity to attain a college degree is unique and would not be possible if it were not for scholarship money and grants. If awarded the College JumpStart Scholarship I would use it to cover the various expenses of my spring semester. I intend to use the scholarship to buy books and supplies that will be required for the courses that I am taking. Also, I would use the scholarship to better immerse myself in campus life. With the scholarship, I could afford the time to attend talks and lectures, get more involved in on-campus clubs, pay for transportation, and most importantly work fewer hours at my work-study which in turn would enable me to do all that was previously mentioned.…

    If I was awarded this scholarship it would greatly help me offset some of the costs of college. In order to pay for school I rely on student loans, and my dad takes money out of his retirement fund to pay for the remaining amount that I owe. It is difficult to ask my parents for money for tuition because I know my dad will be retiring soon, so every dollar he gives me results in him having to work longer before he can retire. If I was awarded this scholarship it would put a lot less stress on my family because they wouldn’t have come up with the money each semester. It would also result in me being able to pay my dad back much sooner so that he can retire.…
