As recipient of the Schoch Endowed Scholarship for the fall semester of 2015 at Loyola University New Orleans, I simply wanted to thank you. Because of this scholarship, I can apply it to the cost of my tuition and finish my education here at Loyola. I wanted to let you know a little about myself so that you can see whom this generous donation is benefiting. I am a mass communication senior with a concentration in journalism within the College of Social Sciences. I grew up in the greater New Orleans area and have been in love with this city all my life.…
The Prairie Meadows Scholarship would help me further my education in the audio/video field. It would give me the education needed to succeed in AV engineering. I am going to start at DMACC at for my first year then transfer to UNI to finish. My dad is an AV engineer and I got to go to some of his productions and watch him at work.…
Thank you for the award of $1500 from the Reed Graduate Scholarship. The scholarship has motivated me to continue to strive for excellence in my educational journey. I will represent the scholarship committee by continual progress toward my Masters of Arts in Christian Ministry. This scholarship has made a difference in my life.…
The WDHS scholarship committee should select me as their nominee for these scholarships because as a driven student, I devote myself to successfully take advantage of the opportunities these scholarships will offer me. I am a well rounded student who goes above and beyond on everything I undertake, whether it be academics, athletics, extracurriculars, leadership, or service. While I am a high-achieving student, I prefer to be sought as a scholar-one for whom knowledge is about more than test scores and grades, and for whom learning is an appetite rather than a means to an end. To me, education is the key to success; therefore, my passion for education is connected with my desire to help others.…

I play flute in the school band and outside of school in marching band, I take Spanish 4 Honors. My favorite class is band and my least favorite is Engineering.…
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.…
Scholarship, service, leadership, and character are the characteristics that lay the foundation for success and are the reason why I perform at such a high degree in everything that I do. Although I’ve always had high ambitions for myself, the scholarship aspect of the National Honor Society confirms the importance of education and also reaffirms that anything is possible and it made easier with academic achievement. However, any achievement, academic or not, is meaningless to me if I don’t give back one way or another to the people who made my success possible including teachers, school staff members, fellow classmates, parents, and friends. On top of this, I learned that the smallest of gestures can make a big difference in someone’s life…
First and foremost, I would like to thank the committee of the Harold Ferguson Scholarship for awarding me the Ferguson scholarship in the previous two years. I am grateful for the opportunities the scholarship has provided me with and for easing the financial burden of attending college. I am applying for a renewal of the Harold Ferguson Scholarship as, I believe, I qualify for the award because of my good academic credentials, my volunteer experience, and my previous experiences using the award efficiently and responsibly. The Ferguson scholarship should be awarded to someone who has displayed good and continuous academic standing because good academics serves as evidence to one’s dedication towards their education. I trust that my grades,…
I would ask you to join us in our mission to enrich our students’ lives by giving a gift. A donation to our scholarship fund is an investment in the future, as you will be directly building the next generation of…
Your investment in my education will help my experience of being a full-time college student, allowing me to concentrate more of my time for studying. The counselors at Palomar College opened my eyes to a whole new world of grants and scholarships. A few places on campus that have contributed to my success are the veteran’s resource center, teaching and learning center, and the math learning center. I am so grateful to Kim Hartwell and Debbie King for their support in my educational…
Introductory Writing Assignment In the beginning of scholarship boy, Richard Rodriguez starts off lecturing young students whose minds easily become distracted except for one who remains alert and focused and in her of them he sees himself as a child and then begins to reminisce about his own childhood, and how he was a scholarship boy a student anxious and eager to learn but also imitative and unoriginal. Whenever anyone would say “Your parents must be very proud” or ask him how managed it his “success” he would give a quick answer then nod and smile. Although his siblings helped motivate him to become a better student by bringing home trophies that made him envious, as well as his parents would encourage him to do better however they account…
Alma College also presented me with a second scholarship, but this one I had to work a little bit harder for. Since I was presented the presidential scholarship, I was invited to an interview based event where advisers in the school would award a select number of students up to $4,000 dollars. We were invited to spend the day at Alma with our parents and get a tour of the campus. We were given the opportunity to talk to people that worked for the school and gain additional knowledge and programs that the school had to offer. It also allowed us to learn how we can get involved on campus.…
How would a Privately Funded Scholarship enhance my ASU experience? A simple question that can be answered many ways, differing from student to student. In my own personal opinion, a Privately Funded Scholarship would have a dramatically positive impact on my experience at Arkansas State University. The scholarship would further shrink the gap between the cost to attend ASU and the coverage that I have already received from other scholarships.…
Through all of my years of school I lived by the idea that school is mandatory, and if I had to be there I was going to make the most of it, and if I put in the hard work now, it will pay off later. Which is exactly what is happening for me with scholarships. I earned good grades and took on as many extracurricular activities as I could handle, and now I am a very competitive candidate. I am captain of the cross-country and track teams, a track state medalist, an AP Scholar, a member of the theater department, mock trial club, National Honors Society, and senior editor of the yearbook. Through all of these activities and events I was able to connect with so many people that helped shape me into the person I am today.…
Why I think I was chosen to be a Walton scholar? Actually, my main question before starting the application processes and reading the purpose of the program was: why should I be part of the Walton International Scholarship Program? I know some people my age that are smarter than me, amazing artists, excellent English speakers, and talented athletes. There are candidates with stronger economic necessity and bigger goals. Then I questioned myself: what makes me a worthy candidate?…
