Pursuing A Scholarship

Decent Essays
I believe I am in need of a scholarship because I do not want my parents to always have to pay for everything for me. I feel like I am old enough and responsible to handle the payments for this program that will benefit me in the future. If you would be kind enough to consider me as eligible for a scholarship, I will be filled with gratitude. Also, whatever the scholarship does not cover, I will be working to cover the rest of the funds. I would like to make it clear that I live in a household with 7 people, but I also feel that this program is an necessity to me and my future, in order to better myself, but it is not a need to the rest of the people in my household and I would hate to inconvenience them at the cost of

But then I remind myself that I am not average; I am anything but average. I have already overcome major obstacles in my life that other students my age probably have never even thought about.

    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.…

    Moreover, I can't apply for a job either because my hands are tied up and feels like I can't do anything to help him except applying to the merit based scholarships in hopes that I would be recognized for the award, so that I can help pay for my tuition.

I graduated from high school with honors, as well as with a full-ride scholarship to college.…

    I found several scholarships on http://www.dosomething.org, which is a website dedicated to social change, that can be applied to in exchange for participating in various social causes. Some of the options available in exchange for these scholarships are recycling1, helping friends and family quit smoking2, or even just making a card for someone in your community to show your appreciation3. There are several ways I intend on cutting the costs of college expenses. One way is attending community college instead of a university to attain my associate’s degree.
