Benefits Of Being A Daniels Scholar

Decent Essays
Being a Daniels’ Scholar will not be easy all the time, but the effort and dedication to this program will definitely be worth it in the end.

At SHIFT, I’m hoping to make new friends that share the same values as I do, and also start building useful skills that will help me be successful in college. During college, I’ll continue to build these skills through the Daniels Scholarship Enrichment Program. I plan to make the most out of these online workshops in order to develop and grow in the high standards Bill Daniels would expect of Daniels Scholars.
The skills that I learn from this whole program will help me not only

    During my sophomore year as an undergraduate at the University of South Carolina, I was accepted into the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program. I do not exaggerate when I say that this program changed the entire course of my life: helping me to fully understand my interests, altering my professional goals, and providing me with a viable path for my passions.

Before McNair I was never aware of what graduate school could offer me and the program, and the people it connected me with, became my greatest source of support as I made the journey into pursuing my doctorate.…

    Governor’s School Last summer, I attended governor's school west where three hundred and twenty-five bright and open-minded students from all across North Carolina gathered for five and a half weeks in a college campus setting. To me, this was a big milestone in life that changed me for the better. We left our cozy lives of families and friends to start with a clean slate with strangers we’ve never seen in our lives. At first, we thought of it as a sacrifice of our summer to glamorize our college application, but throughout the program we experienced things that exceeded beyond our expectations.…
