As of today United States faces a lot of socio-economic problems. One of the most critical is the alarming rise of college tuition.

This book is an extensive research by these authors to demonstrate what is wrong with American University systems, to support their research…

As a first generation student the TRiO scholars program will be an important resource that will lead me toward success in my college education. As a first generation student I do not only want to obtain a bachelor's…
I am really thankful for the generous award letter, but I still can not afford to attend University. On the award letter sent to me on June 22, 2007, it suggested that my parents should take a $9500 Federal Plus Loan. My parents have $480,000 mortgages that they are struggling to pay—they pay $2,710.53 for the first mortgage and $1,188.08 for the second mortgage (monthly). Yet, they make only $4200 from their jobs. They also need pay for utilities and foods—they are scrambling every dollar to pay these bills. Therefore, I can not see myself asking my parents to take another loan on my behalf. My family simply can not financially support my college education.…
An average year at OKlahoma Christian University is about $28000. Then adding on top, flying home and fundraising for my medical mission trips. That is a whole lot of money. My parents don't have the money to pay for my schooling so it is up to me to acquire the resources to do so. That is why this opportunity to receive the East Bremerton Rotary Club Scholarship is so valuable to me. Thank you for your consideration.…
To conclude, this academic scholarship is awarded to students, like myself, who are hard workers and strive to be successful similar to the former president, CEO, and Chairman of American Savings Bank, Robert T Kenney, who this scholarship is named after. Like Kenney, I am a child of immigrants and I have also been instilled with the values of hard work and education. I know how difficult it can be to afford a college education, but the Robert T Kenney scholarship has helped me to become involved at ECSU and excel academically. Therefore, I believe I should receive a renewal scholarship in order to advance my academic career and in the future give back to other young scholars in my…

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…
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.…
Money is tight in my family, my mother is a single mom who works for the Head Start Program in the Kansas City Public Schools. I have a little brother who is a freshman in high school and an older sister in college. I don’t know if I will be able to afford to go without even a little of this scholarship. Even if I do go money will be tight so this trip would be my Christmas gift and my birthday gift. I know that there are probably people who need this scholarship more than I do and I hope that they get to go too. I am really thankful that I even get this opportunity because there are school districts in close to mine that don’t even offer Japanese as a language. Next year only one school in my district will…
My family has helped me tremendously and made many sacrifices to allow me to focus on my education. I now have an opportunity to become the first college graduate in my family. Currently, I am finishing internship training in order to qualify for national licensure exam. The internship is five days a week for two semesters, thus I am unable to work more hours to save money for the tuition fee. After overcoming many obstacles, now I genuinely need the Senior Assist Fund to pay the tuition fee so I can continue my education, and be able to help the community as a clinical laboratory…
