Through the many opportunities that I have had for community service, I have been able to broaden my views, and look outside my community at how others experience our world. I have visited very diverse communities ranging from the inner city of Detroit, MI to a small, economically depressed village in Honduras, to the mountains of Pennsylvania and inside homes very different from mine in my own…

    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.

Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…
