I am looking for scholarships and working where ever I can so I can save some money for college. Therefore I want to get this scholarship to help cover the cost of my book, rent, and tuition. I also believe I should be awarded this scholarship because I know I will do good in school and make the people that are helping me out very proud and happy that they chose me because I am getting

    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.…
