Courage To Grow Scholarship

Decent Essays
I feel that I should be awarded the "Courage To Grow" scholarship because I truly have the courage to grow. Unlike many others my age, I am a strong believer in growth. I am fully aware that without continual growth, I will never be able to make a change in society. Having the courage to grow means being willing to try new things while not being afraid of failure. If I am awarded this scholarship, my passion and courage for growth will always be lively. It would undoubtedly be an honor for me to say that I am a recipient of the Courage To Grow Scholarship.

    The accomplishment of receiving the Jumpstart scholarship would do wonders in the next step for my education in the subsidizing of the costs that come with attending college. I seek to attend Johnson & Wales University and upon acceptance, have been fortunate enough to receive a significant number of grants and loans from the university that nearly cover my entire college tuition. Yet, my parents and myself still face the obstacle of paying for room rates as well as possible meal plans for the trimesters. This obstacle is only made harder in the additional expenses of books, transportation, off-campus meals and personal items. So, the possibility of receiving this scholarship plays a major factor into how far I will get into attending my first…

    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.…
