Scholarship essay

To whom it may concerns,

My name is (unknown) and I am an undergraduate at Sam Houston State University. I have high hopes of earning my BS in Interdisciplinary Studies, Curriculum and Instruction so that I can give back to the younger generation and equip them with the foundations of life. However, coming from a five person household with only one breadwinner, things have always been tight for my family. It is not that we have ever done without the essentials; it is simply that we don't have some of the luxuries that other people take for granted. As such, it has not been possible for me to rely on parental aid for my education but instead of students loans, which is occurring interests right now.

In the summer, I would love to take a few classes at Houston Community College so that I can be that much closer to my goal of becoming an educator and a servant to my community and church.
I have the ability to not only perform what is asked of me, but to reach above and beyond any set expectations. I have the determination, the ability and most importantly the drive to take myself to the stars and back and never let anything slow me down along the way. I, however, face a difficult problem. In my current financial situation, it is not feasible to attend Houston Community College without relying fully on provincial and federal loans, and paying my own way through the summer sessions. My chosen path will be that much rockier, having to work double duty in the work place, and perform impressively as a student. Despite this, I am entirely willing to go the distance if it means acquiring an education that will last a lifetime.
