scholarship application example

Michael Walker

After graduating high school I plan of attending Joliet Junior College and getting two associate’s degrees, one in heavy equipment operating and one in Ag Mechanics. I would like to do this because it would make me more “valuable” to potential employers, by valuable I me that I would be able to handle large machines well and I also would be able to fix them if something goes wrong. These two skills are not things that most people do not get both of because it takes a very large about of skill and most people just do not have the patience to do so. I already have a few of these skills thanks to my high school and Craig Swartz and that is the reason I would like to pursue this idea, because I believe I could be very successful because I already have a leg up on most people.

This scholar ship could possibly mean the difference between me getting both of these degrees or only getting one of them because I will have to go to school for a longer than it usually takes to get an associate’s degree because of all of the training that I will be required to have. Also since I will have to attend school longer I will have more living expenses to pay for and this scholar ship could almost completely cover the cost for me to go to school and get the things that I have wanted for a very long time.

Thank you very much to whomever this letter may concern for even considering me as a candidate for this scholar ship.
