Oakland University

This investment into their students’ futures and education is not found in every educational institution. The dedication the faculty and staff of the university have for their students will create an environment designed for student success. The faculty is not the only aspect that makes Pitt perfect. The university’s location in the heart of Oakland is a melting pot of experiences for every students. Whether it is through one of the thirty nationality rooms spread amongst the forty-two floors…

program at Oakland University in 2013 at that time my goal was to obtain my BSW with a minor in child welfare. My other goal was to work for the D.H.H.S in child protection services. I never thought about going further in my education mostly because I am a much older student and the amount of debt already accumulated seems slightly overwhelming. The other reason is my age itself, or at least it was. When starting out I let my age become a negative and always felt somewhat out of place. Oakland…

I believe that I deserve to receive the Doris J. Dressler Scholarship for this upcoming academic school year. Knowing that I have not always been the smartest person when it comes to academics, but I always have tried to give my best in my classes.

This scholarship will take off the burden during my last year of studies of having to pay for either text books for my classes, gas money to…

l also was afraid of feeling homesick and staying away from my family. Seven months later after our marriage, we traveled to the United States, in particular Grand Rapids, Michigan where I studied at English Language Center of Grand Valley State University. The first months were very difficult for me. I faced some differences, such as the culture and weather. In addition, I missed my family so much, so I felt lonely despite the presence of my husband. My husband always encouraged me and raised…

I would like to enrich my experience at FGCU by becoming engaged in an organization that promotes a sense of community and the enrichment of personal qualities beyond that of which are typically required when obtaining a degree. Involvement in the honors program would enrich my academic experience by allowing me to engage in opportunities such as research with a faculty member, presenting an academic paper, applying for scholarships, or publishing research. I believe I could contribute to the…

optional to this group of students, and I think it is unfair to the rest of the student body. These situations proceed throughout colleges as well. Universities accept and offer scholarships to student-athletes with below-average GPA's for the purpose of making their sports team superior. On the other hand, average students are turned down from universities because they do not have an athletic talent to…

able or disabled, as one race or of many, and share one goal: to eat one last feast as one large community. I had the wonderful privilege of working for these students.

At the beginning of my college journey, I had no…
