I chose to attend Ivy Tech Community College because it was the best option financially. I got into several phenomenal four-year colleges and universities, but ultimately, Ivy Tech will provide me with a challenging, thought-provoking start to my college education for a more affordable price. Rather than taking out a significant amount of loans to sit in a lecture hall of 200+ students, I will attend a community college that has smaller class sizes and gives me the tools and resources that I will need to transfer to a four-year college or university and succeed academically once I do. I will be the first person in my family to attend college. While my family members have fulfilling, successful careers without a college degree, my career interests…
The main factors would be to be a role model for my younger siblings because, I did not have someone to look up to while I was doing school work, no one to follow their steps to the college process. It is important to me that I show my younger siblings that it is possible to do anything as long as you set your mind to it. A challenge is watching my Mother struggle to provide and give us things we want. I do not want to see my Mother struggle for things so I work hard to help her with anything she needs.…

Why I Should Be Considered for this Scholarship I should be considered for this scholarship because I value and participate in my community.

The first time my brother came back home for break he could not stop talking about how great it was to attend Virginia Tech, so the first college I thought of when I was asked where I wanted to attend college was Virginia Tech. The idea of living in a family-like community that values service to others so much was what drew me in the most; I believe that giving back to my community is one of the most important things in life and I would love to be surround by people that have the same belief. The student population is also diverse, which I believe will assist me in discovering new points of view and learning about different cultures. The quantity of clubs and organizations available fascinated me; I will have plenty of opportunities to meet…

I click on it out of curiosity as I was drawn in by the title, read the question and ponder a while about a meaningful answer. And then I realize this. Throughout the seventeen years that I have been alive on planet earth I have experienced times of prosper and misfortune along with an abundance of knowledge, growth, love, and compassion. The decisions I have made this far in my journey, including the help of my tremendously hard working parents, have lead me to this moment in time.…

Coming from single parent household, I was not sure that I was going to be able to accomplish my goals at first but I changed my mentality to be more positive about challenging situations. With this new mentality of mine, it has given me the drive to find opportunities to get my education, this why I am administering for your scholarship. I was born in Oregon and moved to California with my mother when I was in middle school.…
I believe that I deserve the Greater Hewitt Chamber Scholarship since I believe that I am a representation of academic potential. Throughout my time in high school, I have applied this potential, displaying dedication in each task I have faced in high school. Besides taking advanced classes, I have also involved myself outside of school hours. In the past 4 years, I have performed dozens of hours of community service. Through taking advanced classes and performing well in these classes, as well as performing community service, I believe that I have potential academically, but at the same time, as a person.…
