I've been in a program called Project Lead the Way.…
I am currently attending college and with the benefit of my scholarships was able to pay less. On the other hand, if I did not receive scholarships, it would be very difficult for me to attend college today. In this era, more and more people die in many harsh and inhumane ways. Some are devastating and some do not even make it to the news when they should. It pains me to see a young child who is attending school and has lost their mother or father in the line of duty.…
With scholarship I focus on my academic achievements. I recently was awarded the highest honor roll award. Keeping my grades up above an eighty five percent, is not only a difficult task but it is a task that I know it will pay off in the future. My academic career has proven to me that I can succeed at any challenge that life throws at me. Leadership is greatly shown in the student organizations I belong too.…
Scholarship ties in with your academic success and your extracurricular achievements. Education is one of the first major steps in getting somewhere in this modern age, making academic success essential. Personal achievements help build work ethic and demonstrate your interests and abilities. Having a sufficient amount of both on your slate allows you to earn scholarships, consequently tying in with scholarship. I believe that scholarships provide people with the opportunities to shine regardless of…
“First, college students may embrace a greater sense of responsibility when they accrue debt. They may spend more time on academics, work, or other pursuits in order to earn gainful employment at graduation” (Quadlin, Natasha,and Daniel). These kids are the ones who want to make the most of their time, which is now lessened because of work or activities. On the other hand, “financial constraints associated with debt may limit students’ opportunities, acting as a stressor and excluding them from certain aspects of college life” ( qtd. in Quadlin, Natasha,and Daniel).…
Scholarships are amounts of money that can go towards a students college education and decrease the amount of money needed to attend college. Scholarships range up to a “full ride” where a person's college education will then be free. Moreover, financial aid is also another option for many students. Taking into account financial aid and many public four year colleges were only about 2,000 dollars (Source D). Financial aid gives many students that may not be able to pay for college a chance to still be able to go.…
They help pay for college, and are also a good way to help the student pursue their career. Not only do scholarships pay for most of the student's college education it helps college students stay out of debt when they graduate college. Scholarships are offered to students when they get a high score on the SAT or have a high GPA. Academic and athletic scholarships come with hard work and dedication.…
The number of high school graduates going to college is steadily increasing year by year. Students around the world are learning the importance of obtaining a higher education. High school students are learning that college comes with many perks, not just socialization. Students worry about paying off debts more than getting an education. Grants and scholarships should be easily accessible to all students.…
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…
“With more than $1 trillion in student loans outstanding in this country, crippling debt is no longer confined to dropouts from for-profit colleges or graduate students who owe on many years of education...” (Martin and Lehren 4). After graduating with an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree, many students leave school in thousands of dollars of debt. Is going to college worth the crippling debt afterwards? Many graduates may agree that it is worth the time and money because the experience opens up many more opportunities.…
Everyone wants free stuff but at what cost? It seems to me that most people today want a hand out in one way or another. Two of the biggest issues I feel are in Minimum wage, and free college. Minimum wage is set as a base wage for workers without a trade, and not meant for someone that has a career. Free college is not a feasible option for this country but there are plenty of options to find a way to get into college.…
Some families make low income, so they wouldn’t be able to afford to go to college. Due to having low income, they would struggle to maintain good grades so they could receive scholarships. For example, a few years ago my dad got hurt on his job. His boss ran him over with a forklift and he received many injuries. Due to these injuries he is now unable to work and my mom is the only person working.…
For me, receiving the ILLCF Scholarship would be significant. It would mean I will be able to reach my career goal. If I receive the scholarship I will be able to afford one semester of college and buy my books. I will then not have to worry constantly on how I will be able to pay for that semester and I will be able to just focus on my studies. My father is disable and receives Social Security.…
America has left many gifts for my generation. We all see gifts as presents and we take what we have for granted. America’s gift to my generation is opportunities, possibilities, and scholarship. One of the gifts for my generation in America is opportunities. Without opportunities we do not get possibilities, therefore we have to have opportunities.…
Why should college be free for people with low income? If college were free, there would be a higher percentage of people who graduate from college. Everyone should get a chance to get a higher education without paying. If students have been going to school for free, they should not have to start paying for school when they graduate.…
