Scholarships To Pay For College
Scholarships were made to help students and support them with things like payment while they are in college. For me, I have been in the USA for almost two years and one of the reasons that made me come here that it gives great opportunities for students who work hard. Because being in a developing country does not support students, especially if they are poor. I was so happy when my family and I got the immigration to the US and started to have some hope that I can fulfill my dreams which is to be a successful engineer.
My parents don’t have a good English, so they work simple jobs with income that just help us to live and they can’t help me with my college. Scholarships are a great way to help me pay for my college and it is a great thing

    Scholarships can do more than just provide money for someone; they can bring people from other countries into the United States. An example is Karl Henning, a U.K. citizen, who came to the United States on a soccer scholarship in 2000. Karl’s life revolved around soccer. From his earlier years he was involved in camps, competitive teams, and high school league. When he finally came to the United States, he attended St. Alban’s college on his scholarship. His future wife, Dawn Jacobs, also attended the same college. However, she was older and graduated before him allowing her to move to Fort Collins, Colorado. Dawn also had a passion for soccer and played on the Fort Collins Force women’s soccer team. Henning moved to Fort Collins to be with his wife after he graduated from St. Alban’s.…

    Personal Narrative: Osborne High School

    Growing up my mom has always encouraged my siblings and I to continue our education to as far as college. My mother never really got the chance to attend college because her family could not afford to put all their kids in school. She had seven siblings and an extra bill for school was not something her parents were able to afford. I consider myself really lucky to be alive in a time where there are so many opportunities to be able to afford college. If it were not for scholarships and financial aid, my mother’s story would be repeated once again. Through financial aid, the door for a college career is opened for me and I’m willing to enter it. My biggest motivator to push myself academically has been my…

    I, on the other hand, like investing my money in my education. During the semesters ii have been attending, my father has been paying for my studies and at times he has thrown it in my face how much he has invested in me. My brothers invested his money on their education, but after a couple of months decided to stop going and all his money went to waste. My father is afraid I will do the same and constantly reminds me that I need to focus on school or his money will be going to waste. I constantly get reminders of how much money school has cost him and how I need to be considerate of that. I know what he says is true, but after hearing it so many times it can bring stress.

    Pediatric Dentist 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 be a stepping stone towards my goal which is to be a Pediatric Dentist and I would be truly grateful for such an…

    Being A Junior Essay

    I don’t believe that I would be efficiently learning in school, doing research, or even be applying for this scholarship if it weren’t for my parents. They are the ones who push me to live a better life than them, to be the best at what I want to do, and to work hard. One of the best things they do is give me advice on how to get to where I want to be. “We know that it's hard, but you can do it,” they encourage. It truly is encouraging to have parents who believe in me. They make me to trust that I can be successful in the future. My parents truly are one of the best resources that I…

    Essay About College Debt

    Scholarships can help out a student attend college without having to deal with any kind of debt. Applying for scholarships can easily be done online in which it doesn’t take much time to complete. A person wanting to get an education can benefit and doesn’t lose anything in applying. Students can apply for any amounts of scholarships. “ It’s worth it to apply for every opportunity, even the ones that are small and may not be a lot to you. If you get $500 scholarship, that’s $500 you didn’t have before,” (Gormus 12). Scholarships are beneficial to students no matter how low the quantity is. This might be a common solution to others, but it has the following weakness. Most students don’t know the process of applying and end up not doing it at all. “... You should never have to pay a fee for scholarship searches. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is,” (Top 10).There are many scams out there that do nothing but harm those wanting to get some back up for…

    Institutional Scholarship Analysis

    I am a rising third year student and am interested in a being considered for an institutional scholarship. I am from a lower middle class immigrant family, where neither one of my parents finished high school; however, they still firmly believe in the importance of education and constantly encourage me to make it my number one priority in life. Growing up, my family lived paycheck to paycheck and always struggled to make ends meet. My father actually just moved to Texas this past weekend because his job was relocated, and he had no other choice than to move because we would not be able to survive without his paycheck. I learned at a very young age that things would never be simply handed to me; if I want something done, then I need to work…
