Essay On Courage To Grow Scholarship
It has always been my dream to go to Louisiana State University. I am so thankful to say that as of last week, I have been accepted to go there! My mother is a special education teacher at a Tangipahoa public school, and my father is air conditioner/ refrigeration mechanic. Even though they want me to have the best education possible, I will not let my parents go into serious debt over it. With TOPS being unpredictable, and little to no financial aid, I am very worried about the costs of attending LSU. With the help of the “Courage To Grow Scholarship,” you can help my family and I pay for the education I want and

    I’m applying for the Victor Memorial Scholarship because I’m in need of financial support and would prefer to pay college with scholarships and financial aid, instead of being in debt from student loans. I need assistance from this scholarship because for the 2 years I plan on attending Barton Community College, I will need support for tuition, books, board, and fees. I currently have no money saved up for college and assistance from this scholarship will help and lead me on the path of following my future career plans. The scholarship provides for Jr. college, which I do plan on doing and the scholarship will help serve me well.…

Due to great effort and my love for learning, I received a four year academic scholarship to Savannah State University (which I am so grateful for).…

    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…

    Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education has always been extraordinarily important to me, and for this reason, I believe I am qualified to receive this scholarship. Even from a young age, I took it upon myself to strive for the best, participating in spelling bees since the fourth grade, maintaining a 4.0 grade point average throughout middle school, and immersing myself entirely in academics during my high school career. Throughout school, I had two predominant goals that I continuously strived for: to graduate with a 4.0 grade point average and to be accepted into the college of my dreams. I accomplished both, becoming a senior scholar in my graduating class…

    Growing up in poverty not only made me the person I am today, it caused me to long for an enhanced version of myself for my future self and family. This is a goal I know I could achieve through continuing my education to Florida State University. I believe I would benefit from the community at Florida State University as I would be surrounded by other students who yearn to improve their academic career and lives, as they willingly attend to pursue their chosen degrees. Also, I’ll be able to immerse myself in clubs and organizations that consist of people who share the same dream of a career in science and medicine. The community at Florida State University will benefit from me because not only do I work my hardest, I have the dedication, and confidence, to succeed in anything I set my mind to.

    Ambition is important, but having the means to pursue my ambition is essential. A more privileged person may not comprehend the magnitude of scholarships and financial awards to secure educational success, but I do. I do not take this lightly, nor do I take it for granted. I believe that I have worked hard, but even that does not guarantee success. This scholarship will enable me to obtain my degree and begin my dream of being a professional in the medical field.…

    Growing up in a family with five other kids taught me to be independent and hard-working, but I also developed matronly qualities from looking after my younger siblings when my mom wasn’t home. Throughout my high school years, my personality had led me to be the mediator when my friends argued, the advisor when they had no clue what to do, and the councilor when they had problems they couldn’t talk to anyone else about. While it never occurred to me before, I recently realized that these traits will take me far in life.…

    The sun hit our backs hard as we ran through the picturesque Niles hills. “Two more miles to go”, yelled my teammate who was a few yards behind me, “and then man, we can finally get some water.” Well, there was not going to be any water for me; I was fasting for the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan, running on an empty stomach, and knew that the next drop of water entering my body would only come at sunset.…

    Everyone struggles. Most often, hardships are buried beneath the surface. We have a tendency to act like we have everything under control, when in reality, we don’t. Mental illness can be hard to overcome, but those who are affected can be pros at pretending to be okay. Not all hardships are that dark - common issues like a recent break-up are hard to overcome too. But one thing I have learned is that everyone can overcome their obstacles. I’m in the process of overcoming an obstacle of my own. Most people (unless they’re on my team), would never guess that I have a medical condition that affects my breathing.…
