Why Should I Be Awarded This Scholarship?

Decent Essays
I chose MSJ for many reasons. I love small schools; I feel I learn better in smaller classes. Another reason is because after my brother came to MSJ, I got to witness the family-like atmosphere. As soon as I joined the soccer team, I felt included and wanted. I don’t think I could find that anywhere else honestly.

I think I should be awarded this scholarship because I am top of my class, and I contributed my time and skills to MSJ often. The only thing holding me back from going to MSJ is the money prospect, and this scholarship can help with that. I worked hard for what I have achieved at MSJ, and would love to continue working at it.

    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.…

The reasoning for this is that about a year ago, my mom had a heart attack.

After that, everything within the medical field sparked an interest in me. I want to make a positive impact on society by helping those in their time of need and this scholarship will give me the courage to…
