Ford Built Tough Scholarship Analysis
I am writing in regard to the Ford Built Tough FFA scholarship. FFA (Future Farmers of America) has become a big part of my life. I will be talking about my plans for my major, my first year as an FFA member, who inspired me to continue on this path, and what sets me apart from other students applying for this scholarship. The Scholarship would go toward my studies at Emporia State University. The Ford Built Tough scholarship will help in paying for my studies in Agriculture Education to become a teacher for agriculture experience. Many students apply for scholarships on a daily basis. I am applying for the Ford Built Tough scholarship because I want to go to Emporia State and work towards getting my Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture Education. …show more content…
During my first year as an FFA member, I got my Green Hand Degree, and received a Horticulture award for taking care of the greenhouse for my chapter. In addition to the flowers and small trees that were being grown, we were in the process of germinating bell peppers, peppers, jalapeños, onion, chives, pumpkin and strawberries. The culinary classes also grew spices in the green house and asked me to take care of them. I managed my extra-curricular activities, my 3.51 GPA and my class rank of 51. I have not taken the SAT/ACT yet. I am waiting closer to the end of the year to do so. Awarded by Ford Dealers, there are 500 scholarships that are available at $1,000, the additional five scholarships available to students without Ford Truck Dealers, who participate in this scholarship. 505 scholarships for the 629,327 students participating in FFA. Most students want to focus only on one topic to major in, where in my case, I want to learn about it all and major in Agriculture Education. FFA showed me that being a leader is not difficult and being involved is not as hard as it may

    As I am an active member of the Seneca East FFA chapter, I strive to live and work by the National FFA Organization’s motto: “Living to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve.” I interpret this motto simply: with every new project, you must accomplish it with a purpose. When I engage in a community service project, I have the mindset to put my whole heart in it, making the most out of the experience. Through the values and ethics I have attained through FFA, I will continue to serve my community and world with my whole heart throughout my life. If I were selected to receive the Samsung American Legion Scholarship, I would use the money to further my education focusing in the subject of Agriculture. This scholarship would inspire…

    I deserve to be selected for the KSU Foundation scholarship because I am dedicated to serving others and know how important it is to persevere. Having won an Air Force Junior ROTC national community service award in the 9th grade and having voluntarily completed over five hundred community service hours during my junior and senior years of high school, I want to continue on serving others in any capacity possible. Receiving this scholarship would allow me to continue on the path to becoming a surgeon for Doctors Without Borders by assisting me financially, allowing me to have more time to serve my community when I otherwise would have been working to be able to afford to stay in college and complete my degree program. Finally, my work and volunteer…
