My ambition and motivation to go to college despite the adversities, I have been through play a big part in me applying for this scholarship. With my mom being the only financial provider in my household, I do not want to have to worry her with any loans on top of the bills she has to already pay. She is my motivation to go to college and I always promised her that she would never have to worry about any debt from me going to college. Since a very young age, my goal for college was to go and not have to come out of packet as, little as possible. My career aspirations are to become a Nurse Practitioner, and without the help of this scholarship to complete my bachelor’s degree, this dream will not come…
A scholarship for me helps me reach this goal and my engineering goals as well which, in turn, helps me focus on spreading the love of God through my actions, my main goal. Starting next week I will turn to a new chapter in my life and just as Central Advent Christian Church played a role in my success earlier in my life I would ask for you to play a role in this…
I always wanted to go to college growing up, but because of my family, along with my sisters and myself, were born and raised in a refugee camp in Nepal, I had a feeling that college was a dream that would not come true for me. In 2012, we came to Salt Lake City, Utah. The school I did was from 9th grade. After resettlement in the United States, my parents are still struggling to look after the educational future of me and my sisters. My family said if I could find a way to pay for college. I began to apply for many scholarships, which would help to fulfill my dream and desire.…
“It is not what you know! It is who you know!”, this idea was drilled into me from the very moment I got accepted to college by my parents. Because both of my parents are in the business world, I take there advice to heart. It amazed me that even in my 4 month of being at Tech, I have seen what knowing the right person can do for you. That was one of motivating factors to take GT1000 and even coming to Georgia Institute of Technology. Which brings me to my first goal regarding GT1000, meeting people who I can learn from and grow with.…
Growing up, I have always had big dreams of what I was going to do when I became older. It’s hard to believe that this stage in life has already arrived, but I know that I’m prepared for it and have great expectations for what is to come. I’ve set goals out for myself and plan on achieving them, but I can’t do so without the proper education. Unfortunately, education is expensive, and my parents have laid the responsibility of paying for college on my own shoulders. I can’t reach my full potential and become the best person I can be without your help in supporting me with financial aid. That is why I exceptionally need this scholarship.…
My parents are paying for mine and my sister's tuition fee for now as I have 3 more siblings and so they will not continue to do so. I just got my first job where they pay really less so I am unable to pay the full tuition fee which for this semester happened to be almost 2 grand. I have also applied for FAFSA but due to some paperwork reasons, I am not receiving any amount. This scholarship would mean a lot to me as I had a great GPA in High School and so I am working hard in Collin College to maintain it which I know I will. This scholarship would be a stepping stone towards my goal which is to be a Pediatric Dentist and I would be truly grateful for such an…
Like everyone else I have been put the test and have gone through trials and tribulations to get to where I am today. However, many people have not experienced the same hardships as myself. I am a first generation college student and I reside in a household that's income is rather low. Being a first generation college student has been a challenge that I am immensely proud of achieving. Being a pioneer for my family's future of acedemic success is an exhilarating feeling. I am proud that I was able to be accepted to college in order to improve myself in and out of the classroom. If I am fortuitous enough to receive this scholarship I will make it my mission to use it in the best way…
Is it smart to set goals before college? ‘‘About half of all students who start college don’t finish. Roughly one quarter of freshmen drop out before sophomore year,’’ according to Career Prep Academy. Twenty-five percent of freshmen’s in college drop out before their next year in college. Students drop out for many reasons and one of these being not setting goals for themselves, many students might believe that setting goals is creating a path to failure and unrealistic dreams, but in contrast setting goals helps students stay on the path to completing college. By setting goals and measuring their achievements, students are able to see what they have done and what they are capable of, it helps them to stay focused on their path by guiding them on what they ought to achieve in life. Seeing…
I was always told "don't plan too far ahead, because something will always come in your way," and I never listened. At a young age I began creating scenarios for my future and attending University of Florida has always been a part of my goals. If I were to be granted admission I would make sure I got the full college experience by working hard to be at the top of my class, joining a club that revolves around my hobbies, and of course, making myself proud.…

There are several fundamental reasons why students all over the world choose to pursue higher education: to broaden their knowledge base, to achieve financial independence, and to be a part of an environment that fosters personal growth. I truly believe that the best way to accomplish these three goals is to fully immerse oneself in a stimulating environment, where there is an abundance of opportunities to grow both during and after college. I am currently a second-year student at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), and I spent my first year of post-secondary education at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC). I am highly interested in pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, but my current institution only offers…
My primary goal for going to college would be to further my education and to make everyone proud of me by helping students with my degree. As a senior in High School, I believe that it is my natural born right to further my education. I will go to IU Bloomington, so that I can become a Social Worker or a Student Counselor. In order to help students make correct life changing decisions, I will encourage them to go to college like I did. With my degree, I will be able to build a path for the student and indirectly help someone else in need. Everyone needs some type of guidance and I will be able to provide that to them. It will be my privilege to go to this college just so I can continue on the right path toward success and in the process improve…

With my family’s past and current financial situations, college is only an option if put in the extra time to make it work. Full time jobs during the summer and part time during the school year have helped with my financial burden along with grants and scholarships, but even then, I am still looking at making monthly payment plans and taking out loans to help pay for college each year. I would greatly appreciate the help this scholarship could lend me, and I will continue to work hard in the classroom because it’s what I believe…
