If I earned this scholarship, it would greatly help me afford the expenses that come with
college. This would ease my mind of the financial struggles of student loans and the bills that I will have to pay. Also, if I receive enough scholarship funds, I will not have to find a job to work part time during school, and all of my energy will be focused on my school work. It would be hard to maintain excellent grades in every class if I also had to balance my schoolwork with a part time job. The purpose of college is to prepare students for their future careers, and they should be focused on their work instead of worrying about how they are going to pay for college.
