Why Is It Important To Receive Illcf Scholarship

Improved Essays
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. He receives 930 dollars for the month. We then pay the bills and are left with no money at the end of the month. This makes it even harder for me to afford college especially since I am undocumented. With this scholarship I will be closer to finishing college and reaching my goal of becoming a lawyer.

My plans to complete my education will help

    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.…

    Many students typically receive merit-based scholarships for academic achievements although some can be awarded for special talents or other personal characteristics. If I could give advice to high school students, I would tell them to start searching for scholarship opportunities early instead of waiting to get to college or their senior year like I did. Before going to the need-based aid which is awarded to a student on the basis of financial need, they should always look at the merit- based aids. You are not obligated to pay the money back for merit-based aids unlike some need-based…
