Dorothy Scholarship

I am applying to Jassac Charitable Foundation Scholarship. I have big dreams to fill when it comes to my future aspirations as a social worker. I have known since I was about the age twelve that I wanted a career in the helping profession. My mother always opened our home to the homeless and unfortunate. I have an aunt and uncle who are social workers and has spent the majority of their life serving the unjust population. Also, growing up I saw my mother struggle as a single parent so that her family can have basic human needs. This situation, assist me to see that women, minors, and the elderly population need someone to advocate for them so that they can empower themselves and progress to better choices.

Growing up, I have always loved to help people in need, so when I entered high school I put all of my focus towards medical classes. My experience with medical classes were amazing. I performed so well that I was able to pass the Clinical Medical Assistant Certification exam. When it came to choosing a college, I had originally planned to leave Laredo to study pharmacology. However, to my surprise and joy, I found out that TAMIU started to offer the degree plan of my choice, so I decided to stay in Laredo and attend TAMIU. The Oscar M. Laurel Scholarship will be a huge help to fund my tuition, books, and gas. Coming from a middle class family, I understand that every cent counts and this scholarship will be a great help to insure my

I am very grateful that the Trustees of the Harold Ferguson Scholarship have approved the renewal of the Harold Ferguson scholarship. The Harold Ferguson Scholarship will help me greatly in my upcoming sophomore year at Rutgers due to the nature of my classes and therefore am very appreciative. I apologize for not including my current address, which is: 105 Gregory Avenue Apt. D-10, Passaic, NJ, 07055. Furthermore, I feel disadvantaged as a result of my lack of volunteering experience this past year and understand the importance of giving back to the community; hence, I will soon start volunteering at Clara Maass Medical Center in Bellevile, NJ (currently in the application process) on a weekly basis to gain experience for my future in medicine

The beginning of my freshman year of high school I realized that unless I got a job right after I turned 16 I wouldn’t be able to pay for college so I needed to start making steps in the right direction now. I started working at McDonald’s my sophomore year of high school four months after I turned 16 and continued to work there until I graduated from Polk Collegiate High School. A friend told me about Polk Collegiate High School the beginning of my sophomore year and I knew that it would be the best financial choice that I could make at the moment. I spent the last two years of my

I applied to the Skills Center GAC scholarship because I believe I can put the scholarship to good use. The Skills Center GAC scholarship will help me purchase books and school supplies for my first year at Washington State University. I do hope to one day return the favor if I honorably receive it by volunteering in the Skills Center Dental Clinic when I achieve my career goal of becoming a dentist. I am in need of the Skills Center GAC scholarship because currently my mother is unemployed and my father is at the head of the house. I am in need of financial assistance to be able to complete my secondary education as my father cannot fully pay tuition, books, gas money to go to school or for test such as the DAT to enter dental school.

I deserve the Bear State Bank scholarship for three reasons. Reason number one is that my parents have been valued customers of Bear State Bank for over 18 years. I am currently a customer of the Bear State Bank . Reason number two is that I have a 3.9 GPA. Reason number three is that I am a hard worker. I need the Bear State Scholarship for many reasons. I want to get a degree in nursing. I want to reduce the cost of going to college . I want to be a smart investor by not taking out student loans . I promise that the money from this scholarship will be used wisely to help with the cost of college . The scholarship will be greatly appreciated .

I would like to thank you for choosing me as a recipient of the Dorothy Goodrum Scholarship. The $1000 award will go a long way in helping me achieve my goals! It is a great honor to have been chosen.

This scholarship will help me get a head start in college. It will also help me to reach my career goals in the medical field.

I will say I am like most young and modern American women: school is my main priority, I have dreams and goals for the future that I am determined to make happen and I don’t expect for anyone to do the hard work for me. I come from what is known as a normal background within the African American culture, my parents are in the process of getting a divorce, I live with my mother and three brothers. So, what exactly makes Ayana Graham different? Why does Ayana Graham deserve this scholarship over other applicants? What makes me different from other applicants is how I occupy my time away from my academics. I purposely seek volunteer work, such as The Jumpstart Program, sock and coat drives, bake sales, The Giving Point, feeding the homeless and

The first semester was definitely a make It or break it for students. I came into this program not realizing how much time and effort is put into this program. I had to become very disciplined with my time and focus only on the program. There have been many nights of no sleep and no eating to maintain the grades that I have now. Currently, for the spring semester, I have all A's which will bring my GPA up from a 3.484 to a 3.6 or higher. The main goal to succeed in this program is to study, manage your time and to discipline yourself. I am a person that enjoys to overcome new challenges in life. This program has been such a challenge but I am almost halfway there. I promised my family and myself that I will continue to successfully progress in this program no matter what obstacles comes in my way. All of this will be worth it in the end. In the next year, I will be graduating the Radiology Program with an Honors Associates Degree. From there, I will continue my education at Chattanooga State Community College to get my Certification for Radiation Therapy to help patient's with their struggle to overcome cancer. After a year, I will then get my Certification for

As I finish up my first year of medical school at TTUHSC, continued scholarship support will help me focus on my medical studies during my second year and decrease my eventual loan burden when I am a practicing physician. Also, I am currently a dual degree MD/MBA student, and as I receive my two degrees, I know that the value I receive from the knowledge gained would be put to greater use with the scholarship and the financial support that it provides. I greatly appreciate the support that TTUHSC SOM and the generous alumni provide to all of its students.

I am writing to apply for your two scholarships, Christian College Scholarship and the Child Care Scholarship. The field that I am looking into is pre-med and child development. I found out these scholarships through my school guidance counselor.

Preparing for my journey through medical school has not been easy for my family and I. As cliché as it may be for some to talk about their “broke college student” experience, it is a very harsh reality for many in my situation. While others who suffer financial hardships qualify for federal and state financial aid, I do not qualify for any type of governmental aid due to being an immigrant. That leaves me with only access to academic scholarships and private loans. To pay for the fees at GEMS, I will once again have to recur to those resources and a part time job if time allows.

I have always dreamed of making a larger difference in my community by helping others to recover from their illnesses and by pursuing a career in the medical field, but I have never truly had the chance to do so because of my limitations. Being the youngest in my family, I have many older sisters to look up to and to learn from. I have learned from their successes and failures and created my own opinions based on the knowledge that I gain. A scholarship would allow me to gain insight in the field of healthcare to put me on the path of doing greater things. Furthermore, it would open up many opportunities to me and allow me to put my best foot forward by being a leader. If I do not receive a scholarship to attend the program, I believe that

My education is very serious to me, I study daily and take part in study groups. This scholarship will allow me to better myself and help me in the future. As a member of Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), the 5000 Role Models of Excellence, and Jag Mentors, I’ve learned to take advantage of all opportunities within my reach. The dedicated to my community is immensely important to me, with my involvement of tutoring fellow students who have struggled with their academic classes. I believe in helping anyone in need and has always tried to help anyone around me.
