Explain Why I Should Be Selected For Scholarship Support

Improved Essays
I believe I should be selected for scholarship support because of my passion for my degree fields and my passion for education. I am studying History, Secondary Education and German and I would like to use my degree to teach at the high school level. Some of my high school teachers were the most important in my decisions for my future and shaped who I ended up being, so I would love to give back that way and do the same for the future generations.
It was my history teachers and especially my German teacher who changed the direction my life was going through their support and hard work during a challenging time for me. Without their guidance and ideas, I wouldn’t be the person I am today and I would love to be that person for my future students.

    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.…
