The sun’s burning rays beat down on us as we dug through the layers of Egyptian sand and rock. We had only begun the excavation the previous day and had already uncovered one-fifth of the ancient pyramid. I, as well as a team of high-ranking archaeologists, had accompanied Sarah Parcak in an expedition to unearth a lost Egyptian pyramid. “How’s your section of the chamber coming along, Erica? We’ve just uncovered a new sarcophagus,” remarked Sarah as she passed by, carrying a large coffin.…
“I’m Detective Grey and this is Dr. Kathryn Bohemian. I want to start off to let you guys know that you aren't in any trouble, we just need some information on your friend Christian.” She studied the group in front of her: Hailey Trooper, Becky Rimes, Celina Moore, Tristan Reese, and an older woman whom she presumed to be Tristian’s mother. She studied the teens, Hailey and Celina both had short brown hair and braces, and the glimmer in their brown eyes reminded Heather of her wild and reckless days. If Heather hadn’t done her homework, she would've assumed that Becky and Tristan were twins.…
The funds of the scholarship were made by an anonymous donor, for the devoted work carried out by the council. The scholarship is awarded to students whose academic career path is unconventional. Unconventional education is one that does not attend brick and mortar schools and is way I qualify for this scholarship. I began my college education a week prior to graduating high school in 1987. I attended college for three semesters, while funding was limited I had to temporary halt my education.…
Julia Coluzzi-Carioti, without whom I may not be here. Near the end of seventh grade, I asked my parents if I could go to a GSA field trip. My parents who do not support Lgbtq+ affiliates, decided that public school was influencing me for worse, they thought I was giving into an agenda. So they sent me to a private christian school. I lost all contact with friends from public school, except Julia, she was the only person I could talk to about all the pent anger and sadness I had.…
I think I deserve this scholarship, because I could be a positive role model for others that have had a similar discouraging…
Hoped you had a delicious, and fun Thanksgiving as I did; however, now your help is needed for a little situation involving your truly me. On Monday, November 7, 2017, I interviewed with Regina Stabile (hereafter referred to as Regina) for a 120-day detail in the Office of Communications and Public Liaison, support of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act (PA) Branch and was later offered the detail via oral communication (telephonic) from Regina. The offer was contingent upon a mutual released date from my immediate supervisor George Tucker (hereafter referred to as George), Grants Management Branch Chief, who initially granted approval for me to seeks this detail. Moving forward, on Thursday, November 22, 2017, because…

I am writing to thank you for your generosity in the Dame Jackie Marching Band Scholarship. I am very happy to receive this scholarship that shows great appreciation to the CSU Marching Band. I am a second year currently studying Art Education. I am part of the flute/piccolo section and have been a member of the CSU Marching Band for two years so far. It’s been a great experience being a part of this band and a great way to represent our school.…
That’s exactly what I want to do. This scholarship will help me to do so, and will help me break boundaries by being the first in my immediate family to earn a Bachelor’s degree, my ultimate educational goal. Similarly, like Beyoncé, I strive to inspire millions through my music and my character. I am unafraid to not only think, but act outside the box to create a positive impact on communities, and that is why I believe I am the best candidate for this scholarship. With it, I can achieve my dreams and launch the dreams of others.…
As I prepare for graduation from high school and pursue my goal of becoming a band director, I realize that I have at least six years of academics left to achieve my goal. During the next six years, I intend to obtain not only a bachelor’s degree in Music Education but a master's degree as well. I initially plan to attend the University of Arkansas at Monticello. After obtaining my masters, I shall pursue my doctorate from the University of Texas. I am applying for this scholarship to help defray the cost of my continuing education I understand having these goals without a plan makes them nothing but a wish.…
I have participated in several programs at my school. First of all, I’ve played on my school’s volleyball team for two years. This year, the coaches chose me to be the team captain as well. Consequently, the athletic department at my school chose me to be part of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) the past two years. Moreover, I’ve been a part of my high school’s “Back-a-Dos” theater program, participating in two productions.…
Thank you for awarding me the Emma Oexemann scholarship, this means a lot to me. With this scholarship I get to take out significantly less loans and I’m able to cover the costs of my attendance. As a high school student I didn’t realize the importance of scholarships and grants, but as the time for college to begin draws closer, I’m overwhelmed with how much more I should of done. I know that everyone who talked to me about college had one thing to say, get as many scholarships as you can, but I heard it so many times that I think the meaning of it was lost. Getting ready for college and filling out my loan entrance exam was eye opening, I need scholarships more than I can express.…
I am willing to bet that there are many astonishing young men and women who have applied for this scholarship. I am also willing to bet there are a fair amount of applicants who meet the unwritten standards needed to receive this scholarship. I will not boast promises of outstanding grades or how this money could build my future. Instead, I will tell of my past, allowing my personality speak for itself. Growing up my parents always encouraged my siblings and me to stay true to ourselves, whether that is morally, mentally, and/or physically.…
Initially, I’d like to share with you my scholarship achievements, history, and ambitions. Throughout my middle school and high school years my grades have always been above a 3.5 grade point average. This is because I was raised in a household where…
Receiving your scholarship has helped ease the financial burden of college. Thank you again for your generosity and for your support.…
