HEBF Scholarship Analysis
I should be considered for the HEBF scholarship due to my hard work and determination; not just in playing sports, but for improvement. Whether it be soccer, volleyball, or track and field, I have never given up when presented with a challenge. I rather look at it as an opportunity for growth, something that can, not only strengthen my physical skills but my collaborative skills as well. Something that I have learned from participating in sports is coming up with ways to overcome obstacles and to keep trying. That means pushing myself to the limit and overpowering boundaries. The experience from participating in each sport have somewhat in some shape and form, taught me the importance of being a leader and working to together. These skills

    For many students, the college experience is measured by the success of their NCAA-sanctioned athletic programs. Without the experience and athletic performance the student athlete brings, most colleges would not reap the benefit of these significant revenue-generating activities. At best, current NCAA regulations need to be revisited to ensure all avenues are addressed to enable the success of athletic students both in the classroom and on the field or court of play. As stated previously, even though students receive full and partial scholarships determined by their athletic performance, in both instances financial hardship is still experienced by many. Since the various professional sports’ programs reap the conditioning and experience of college student athletes, sponsorship initiatives should be pursued to allow student athletes some form of payment without creating additional outlays for colleges and universities.…

    Most colleges are very strict when it comes to being a part of a group besides academic or a medical program. For example, a college won’t accept you if you’re not bringing in money in any shape or form. Such as playing basketball, or on the swim team. You could have a 4.0, which is a very good gpa and they would still not accept you. They do not want to hear about academics more than sports.…

    I firmly believe the "Courage to Grow" scholarship should be awarded to me because since I was very young, I have always had a strong love of learning. I did well throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I have always been motivated to do my best in school. Now that I am a second semester college sophomore, my love for school has only grown. During high school, I maintained a 3.3 GPA, and now that I am in college, I have managed a 3.4 GPA. This semester, I am working even harder for a higher GPA. In the spring of 2017, I plan to transfer as a junior to East Texas Baptist University. I have dreamed of attending this college since I was a freshman in high school. Since this is a private university, this dream will only come true based…

    When the typical person thinks of sports they think of football, baseball, or basketball. While those are all great sports, what about those sports that aren't classified as sports, but should be? Marching band should be considered a sport for many reasons. Marching band teaches many of the same lessons that can be learned through sports, such as: dedication, academic responsibility and the importance of physical health. I have gained knowledge of these things through marching band. With that being said, I feel that I would be a great candidate for this scholarship.…

    The dedication I have shown to each of these aspects of my life is a reflection of my good character. My desire to succeed both in and out of the classroom has driven me to earn high grades, become a leader and give back to my community. In the past I have received constructive criticism for mostly engaging in activities that relate to my involvement with track & field. I believe my community service is misunderstood. It has been my choice to participate in the community service activities listed in my application. I chose to become a youth coach for the Little Feet Running Program and volunteer for local races and modified track & field meets because I feel I have more to offer to my community when participating in activities I can easily relate to. My passion for track and field has allowed me to establish strong relationships with…

    When I was applying to college I talked to the coach of the University of Central Oklahoma cheerleading squad in hopes that I could tryout for the team. I thought that another commitment in addition to my school work would help to keep me focused for the second semester. One thing that I didn’t expect is the time and energy you need to put aside to play a sport in college. In high school, playing a sport was a much easier task. College sports are very competitive and the athletes playing for the college are the most talented in the school division. I am not saying that I am not capable of cheerleading at a college level; more that it would be a strenuous commitment for a beginning college student to handle. In comparison to high school sports, college sports are much more competitive. The experience and talent of the players are an obvious difference. High school sports differ from college sports in many ways.…
