Many of my friends that I am graduating high school with are planing on staying close to home and going to near by colleges, this is not the case for me. I want to Broaden my horizons, get away from Vermont for a while and spread my wings. I think that Embry-Riddle University would be the perfect school for me to attend. Embry-Riddle offers a high standard of education that I know will prepare me for my adult working life, and lead me to my personal success. Of all my previous career interests and ideas, there is one that has always reoccurred in my brainstorming: commercial aviation. Embry-Riddle can satisfy my hunger to learn about the field and is the key that can unlock not only my chances of achieving my career goals,…
My family was affected by the Louisiana Flooding, so this scholarship would be a relief to my family. That is because the flood has resulted in economic hardships which have made the prospect of attending university even harder than it would be under normal circumstances. Additional to the economic consequences of the flood, it also has simply made the process harder since the college process had to be somewhat put on the back burner while taking care of other matters. In these regards, the scholarship would have a significant impact on my ability to attend university. Obviously there is the fact that it eases the economic situations since it lowers the financial strain of attendance. That is a big deal due to the financial situation that my…
From abrogating the infamous problem of world hunger that is prevalent among the developing countries to the preservation of Mother Nature who seems to exponentially spiral down towards death in correlation to our nonstop industrial poison, the premiere issue that arises to be solved is not utilizing these funds solely to discover or use on research for the historically-yearned panacea of all these problems, but to discover the grades of importance to which these problems need to be chronologically addressed. Sure, the level of importance may fluctuate for people with different perspectives, but finding the common ranks in which the majority agrees on will most likely prove to palliate the cons of our society’s traditional morality.…

In today’s society, a wealth of information is available at all times literally with just the touch of a button. To some, this ease of convenience is a blessing. For those who do not use proper discretion, the convenience is a curse. Due to the abundance of information located on the World Wide Web, students can pick and choose information at their leisure, without ever thinking about whether it is recognized as a scholarly document. With the swiftness that this information age has come upon us, some of our fundamental skills were somehow left behind. According to Russell (2009), a librarian who frequently meets with campus instructors to address any issues they may be having, professors worry that “students lack an understanding of what constitutes good-quality scholarly information” (p.92). In the field of education, particularly early education, teachers must not allow the information literacy to influence scholarship, practice or leadership in a negative manner, but instead embrace the potential information literacy possesses and take full advantage of teaching students a more responsible way to research, analyze, and apply their findings.…
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.

I began to apply for many scholarships, which would help to fulfill my dream and desire.…
