It has been over 400 years since white settlers came to America and claimed land originally belonging to the Native Americans. Indigenous peoples of America, including the Sioux tribe, have suffered continuously because of the settlers and eventually their government. The Sioux tribe is recently taking a stand by protesting the plan for the construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota that could seriously jeopardize the water supply of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. This pipeline also would cross through sacred ancestral lands of the Sioux tribe. Leaders of the Sioux tribe explain that they did not properly communicate with the people planning for the pipeline. Since spring, protesters have gathered peacefully to show their disagreement with the pipeline plan, but recently blocked the pathway for construction, which led to violence. The Sioux tribe have an inherent sense of duty to perform a…
I wanted to get the free scholarship but the rule for free scholarship is “either of your parents income not suppose to be more than $850 a month” but my dad has an income more than $850 a month so I couldn’t apply for free scholarship. I tried so hard to passed the tests from three organizations were AFS, YES and AYC. Those are three famous organizations in Thailand. AFS organization is the first famous, YES is second and AYS is the third. The result was I passed all of those organizations. I was so proud of myself that I passed all of those super hard tests. Finally,I had to choose to be in YES organization because I could…
I deserve to be selected for the KSU Foundation scholarship because I am dedicated to serving others and know how important it is to persevere. Having won an Air Force Junior ROTC national community service award in the 9th grade and having voluntarily completed over five hundred community service hours during my junior and senior years of high school, I want to continue on serving others in any capacity possible.

Finally, my work and volunteer…

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.…
I don’t know if I feel that saying that I deserve this scholarship is the right thing to say, but going to Japan has been a goal of mine ever since I can remember. My grandfather was the one who really got me interested in Japan. He would always tell me stories about the culture, people, the little bits of language that he picked up, and the time that he spent there. My grandfather would have loved me going to Japan and would have supported me whole heartedly. I want to go to Japan not only to see what he saw, but also to improve the little that I know and improve myself.…
I overcome the different education level by studying hard each day in and out of school. I stayed after school to get as much help as I could if i didn’t understand something. I pushed myself because I knew that no matter how difficult is was to change to a new school I could overcome it and be the best that I can be. I believe I fit nicely with the scholarship requirements, and I am certain that this scholarship will make a significant contribution to me accomplishing my goals. Getting the Shovelin Scholarship would facilitate my pursuit of a healthcare career by letting me put all of my focus of college by letting me study a lot more and not have to worry about working to pay off the student loans. Getting the scholarship will motivate me even more to push myself beyond measures to get the best education that I can. It will also help provide me with what I need to further my education to be a Neonatal…

These lessons lead me to explain the reasons I deserve this scholarship. I not only have put forth a recommendable effort in my academic career, staying on the all A Honor roll and maintaining a 4.0 GPA all four years of high school. I have also acquired Perfect Attendance Awards for every school year I have been enrolled in. This past year, I was bestowed the honor of being named a 2010 Governors Scholar, along with being named a UCA All-American Cheerleader. Along with many other honors and awards, these are two that I am most proud of because they show that I am well-rounded and a very driven…
Little did I know at the time, my first experience with nursing occurred when I learned to count calories in the sixth grade. It was a slightly misguided attempt to maximize my health. This small understanding of what it means to seek health started the bit of snow rolling that began to collect a bit more snow and a bit more, and it took rolling through much more experience and exploration to turn this tiny bit of snow into the more comprehensive understanding of health, nutrition and nursing that I have today – the large snowball. I’m not going to talk about calories now. The snowball has grown much larger than that, growing much as the field of nursing has grown: to encompass the entirety of health, healing and living a full life. I’m going to give a picture of my background through three important issues beyond the operating room but central to the field of nursing: cultural self-awareness, human presence (care), and critical thinking. These three issues serve as springboards for describing my own preparation for the study and work of becoming a nurse, as well as highlighting my educational goals and career plans.…
I know almost everyone needs some sort of support especially the financial one these days. That scholarship often just does what is needed for a hardworking student. I am a dedicated student with mostly getting into Dean’s list and graduating with Honors even in nursing programs. I received my diploma in nursing from Southern Crescent Technical College in 2011 with Honors, G.P.A of 3.8 and made it to Dean’s list. So far in South Western Community College I’ve been doing well in my RN programs and I have been accepted into Bachelor’s program too maintaining my mostly A’s.…
Marcus Garvey once said, “with confidence you have won before you have started.” Confidence is an important concept of interest to me when developing a plan to integrate scholarship and practice. It is necessary to first understand the concept at hand by way of definition and research. After extensive dissection of the concept of confidence, a plan of action to incorporate scholarship and nursing practice by way of confidence is needed. This plan is designed by looking at the importance of the concept to the nursing world. By describing how the concept of confidence is relevant in nursing history and today’s society, it is evident that a plan of integration is needed.…
Ambition is important, but having the means to pursue my ambition is essential. A more privileged person may not comprehend the magnitude of scholarships and financial awards to secure educational success, but I do. I do not take this lightly, nor do I take it for granted. I believe that I have worked hard, but even that does not guarantee success. This scholarship will enable me to obtain my degree and begin my dream of being a professional in the medical field.…
Being that I am planning on pursuing the field of nursing, I want to make the biggest positive impact and make a difference to lives all around.
