Pre-Pharmacist Scholarships

As a child my enthusiasm with the nursing and medical field has grown over the years into a career. I want to continue that growth into the advanced practice nursing role as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Receiving this scholarship will enable me to continue to make progress toward my degree in preparation for a career that will make a difference in my community. Please know that this scholarship will make a significant impact in my ability to progress in school and I greatly appreciate your

Over the past year and over my whole high school career I have been putting almost all of the money I’ve earned in a savings account to help pay for college tuition and other expenses. Also, this year I have made it a point to reducing my spending, as hard as it’s been I have held myself to rarely ever buying fast food, not only saving money but also saving

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 Kathy Binarao, a senior at Brunswick High School and is a student planning to pursue her education and attend college. The college I plan to go to that offers the courses I plan to take has a tuition and boarding fee of $35,000 plus, which means I truly need a whole lot of financial assistance. I was accepted at Liberty University as early as October, and now am seeking for some helpful scholarships. I plan on majoring in Nursing (B.S.N.), which is a science field, to become a Registered Nurse one day. Basically, it’s more like a Traveling Nurse, for I will minor in Aeronautics: Flight Attendant at the same time. I dreamed of traveling the world, not only to enjoy visiting places, but also be a helping nurse serving people residing in

I, Charday Williams, am one of the recipients of the Dr. Ruth M. Cady & Dr. Dorothy Husky Health Science Endowment Scholarship and I truly owe a great amount of appreciation to you both. These past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me when it comes to my schooling. I was accepted to the nursing program yet unsure of how I was going to pay for my schooling. Being that I am working toward my second bachelor’s degree it is relatively hard to get financial aid whether by means of loans, scholarships or grants. With this being said, I was afraid that I might have hit a bump in the road that I may not overcome. This scholarship or might I say blessing has lifted a great amount of stress off me. It has provided me with exactly what I needed

I would like to express my thanks to the Buster Bynum Education Scholarship for allowing me the opportunity for financial assistance through your scholarship program. Being the second child in my family to attend college, I know that college can be expensive. At the age of seventeen, I am the youngest of six children. I learned from my family that they will give me all the love in the world, but when it comes to money I have to earn it. For the past three years I’ve earned my gas and spending money working a part-time job laying sod for Mid-South Enterprises LLC. I am confident that my parents will help as much as they possibly can financially, but with the assistance from scholarships my out of pocket tuition cost can be less.

I am in a position where I am having difficulty finding the resources I need to finish my degree. I took about a year off from working to take care of my chronically ill father. In addition, I have recently been through a divorce and have a three year old child that I’m supporting. My income is not where it needs to be to say the least. I am also in a position where I don’t have a lot of federal aid in loans left to pay for school. A scholarship would help me to stretch the last of my aid to pay for my education. I would be putting a scholarship to great use and it would allow me to focus more on my education and be the best that I can be. I know that I will get through school one way or the other and that I will give back to Cox and the city of Springfield for taking a chance on me and helping me with my education. Springfield is my home and I plan on working as nurse at Cox for many years to come. A scholarship granted to me would help me to become a nurse and would be served back to the community through the skills that I will have gained through my education. I would be very grateful to receive a scholarship and would make sure that any scholarship granted to me was not wasted. I made the dean’s list fall 2014 and have been keeping good grades. I hope that Cox will consider be as a good candidate to receive one because I have great passion, have a passion to

Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to be a finalist for the Daniel’s Fund Scholarship. I am a high school senior enrolled as a concurrent enrollment student at the Community College of Aurora through my high school, Vista Academy. I am also a first generation prospective college student with a Mexican background. Neither of my parents went to college, though, I know in my heart I need to earn a college degree; they are my motivation. I also know in my heart that I will be a great Daniel’s Fund Scholar because I possess maturity, strength of character, leadership, a well rounded personality in one way, shape, or manner.

I came to America from Pakistan two years ago. I am currently attending Broward College to get my associate degree. One of my most important goals is to get a master’s degree in aerospace engineering and become an engineer. To achieve this goal, I am very passionate. I have worked very hard to maintain good grades. I have joined clubs and faced many difficulties to be where I am. I am passionate about math and physics and due to that reason I want to attend a prestigious school for sciences and become an engineer. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to get the education; therefore, I am working hard to get scholarships.

During grade school, I won many academic awards and was also a member of the academic bowl team. At the graduation ceremony in 8th grade, I received the R. Dean Truesdale award, which recognized students who scored highly academically and exemplified outstanding integrity. While taking the high school placement test, I scored highly and received a scholarship to attend Ursuline. During freshman year, I had a GPA of 4.37, and during my sophomore year, I had a GPA of 4.40. I am committed to improving myself academically, and my past academic accomplishments showcase this.

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.

Campaign funding influencing elections can be found as far back as the very first election. George Washington lost his election into the House of Burgesses. He put money into his next campaign buying punch and hard cider for his supporters and won the next election, but the government banned this because it was a form of bribery (Fuller). They also felt that this was something that was not fair and would lead to there being an obvious clear path to the win.

I believe that I am a worthy candidate for this scholarship due to my recognition of the financial impact of college. Growing up in a single parent home has been a financially and emotionally difficult feat for my mother and myself. When I was seven years old, my father passed away from a blood clot. During his life, he served in Vietnam, where he was granted a Purple Heart after shattering his kneecap on a landmine. He was on disability, and my mother was employed as a rehabilitation nurse, the only source of income in our family. After his death, my mother and I both began to go to therapy for our grief over losing my father. Focusing on my mental health helped me accept the meaning of death, and struck my motivation to honor my father and ensure that he would be proud of me. When I grew up, we always relied on getting clothes from thrift stores to save money and cutting any unnecessary expenditures. My mother always worked to have enough money for food and comfort. I received monetary Survivor Benefits after his death until my high school graduation this past May. As mentioned before, my mother has Multiple Sclerosis, which is an unfortunately expensive illness. Shortly after her diagnosis, the rehabilitation unit of her work closed and she was left on unemployment right before my sophomore year of high school. I was not old enough to drive or work, so finances were incredibly strict. On my 16th birthday, I attended an orientation to work as a lifeguard at our local YMCA. The next day, I also got my license to eliminate transportation issues. My employment alleviated financial and emotional stress on my mother, as I was able to contribute to the bills and my personal expenses. Throughout my life, my mother has also been very dependent on alcohol to relieve stress. There were numerous times where I

I currently sit atop my class due to this hard work that I’m putting in to it. I plan to attend Mississippi State University this fall where I plan to major in Poultry Science. I have had chickens for most of my life, but I was unable to get them until I was able to pay for them myself. My parents told me that if I wanted chickens I would have to work to get them. Now I have close to 50 chickens that I care for daily. Going to Mississippi State has been a dream come true, but paying for it is a different story. I would love to receive this scholarship, so I would be able to relieve the stress that has come with my parents trying to figure out how to pay for my

I have been extremely fortunate to avoid many hardships. However I have faced a financially barrier, especially as I have set the goal to finance college without loans. My family is not poor, but we do not have enough money to put two women through university. I have taken the initiative to surpass this barrier by working and applying for scholarships. I started by attending community college first as it is less expensive. I quickly realized that the lower tuition was not enough and took a job at a grocery store deli. Most of my income has been placed into my savings. I have saved up a decent sum of money, but will still need help to pay for college. Now I am applying for as many scholarships as humanly possible. I have received scholarships
