I think I should be a part of Mortar Board because I have spent the entirety of my college career working to strengthen my skills in leadership and build on my character. I am very dedicated to my studies, and I make it a priority to excel in all of my classes.

I am well aware of the time requirements and level of commitment that would be expected of me as a member of Mortar Board, and I am both able and willing to commit. I think I would be a great addition to Mortar Board because scholarship, leadership, and service are all aspects of my life that are very important to me.…

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.…

Now, one may not think but, calling out Bingo did changed my life. I learned that I have a love to helping the elderly. One day, after calling out Bingo, I had a conversation with a resident named Jackie.…
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. I am also living in my parent’s home as I work towards my associate’s and will possibly live with them when I work on my bachelor’s degree, depending on if I attend The Ohio State University…

Although my athletic scholarship helps pay for my college education, it is important to take other factors into consideration, such as injuries. If I have an injury while playing baseball I no longer can play professionally, but a college degree lasts a lifetime.

The main goal of college is to earn an education, and the sports are just a bonus.…

Scholarships would allow me to center in my focus on college. Not having to worry about paying for the full tuition of college reveals some stress and will allow me to focus on my studies and livestock judging. One unquie thing about my situations is my parents are not helping me pay for college in order to teach me how to be an adult. I do have some money saved in the bank but it does not even come close to covering the expense of going to community college and then attending a university. The biggest impact these scholarships have on me is that by not paying the full tuition, I will not be in debt for ten years or more after college like a lot of people are.…
