    I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school. Tallahassee is a city of containing and surrounded by many events and opportunities, so no matter your preferred “scene,” you are likely to be able to find something you do. Another upside to FAMU’s location is that it also places me very close to my mother and the rest of my maternal family, who I had previously not gotten to see almost since elementary school.…

    I feel I should be considered for an endowed scholarship because I work hard for this university and community. I am committed to the Loyola experience because of the love I have for this university and all those who enter it.

The line ‘go forth and set the world on fire’ can spark something different and extraordinary to each individual. I have dedicated my entire academic career at this institution to exemplifying Magis and being ‘more’.…
