...I attend Medgar Evers College, where I am pursuing an Associate Degree in Science after which I am planning to apply to the Nursing Program at Medgar Evers College. My educational aspirations include obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, which will guide me towards my path of becoming a Nurse Practitioner. As a result, I decided to become a nurse while watching my mother hopelessly ill, and I had to care for her. This decision has helped me to be empathetic to individuals, not just my family members. I am delighted in caring for people who are ill, especially when I put a smile on their faces. Hopefully, one day, I will return to my community and give back to individuals who are less fortunate and who do not have access to the medical assistance they need. I want to be an accomplished Nurse Practitioner, who will go to clinics and hospitals and establish free access to information regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially HIV, which causes much stigma against its victims. People need to know the methods of prevention, treatment and how to care for themselves and other individuals....

...I believe that everyone is worthy enough to be invested in to do something great in life. But not everyone is the same and I feel as if my life, my circumstances, goals and accomplishments have shaped me into the person that would make a great face for this scholarship. As a child I was confident that i was going to be a Pediatrician, providing the necessary care for our beautiful children that will later grow to shape the world. While working at SixFlags Over Georgia i took the authority to make sure my team members did everything we could to make our restaurant the best and the most pleasing to the customers. While examining my leadership skills up closely I was then promoted to Team LEAD by my mangers. Helping my team become the best that...

...truly reach my goals. I did not grow up with money. My dad lost his job when I was young, and our family has struggled to recover. However, we were all taught not to become beggars, but instead to become hard workers. I have maintained this mentality. It reminds me of how hard my grandmother worked to gain citizenship and start a life in America. Despite knowing that my family will not be able to pay for me to go to college, I have worked very hard to fulfil my dream. I strive for better grades every second that I am in the classroom in hopes of receiving scholarships. I have taken the life I was given and chosen to make it into something incredible. My decision to apply for an ACE scholarship was not an act of begging, but rather a call for the beginning of a path that will lead me beyond my goals. The odds are against me in this time of American civilization, but they were also against my grandma. This scholarship will prove...

...far from synonymous. As a one-time professional athlete in the NFL he said it best, One day on the playing field I looked up and the sun was breaking through the clouds, hitting the unmuddied areas on the uniforms, and I said, That’s beautiful!’… I knew then that it was all over being a player. I was more interested in art.” His impact on the world of art will definitely live on despite his recent death. His artistic genius and bold, intense, and exaggerated technique will be flattered by imitation, adoption, and admiration for years to comes. The university is committed to sports art, establishing the American Sport Art Museum and Archives in 1984. It is arguably the largest collection of sport art in the world. Ernie Barnes coveted work had been commissioned by the likes of Slyvester Stallone, The 1984 Olympic Games, Alex Hailey, Mary Tyler Moore, the NBA, Kanye West, and the list goes on and on. His most famed piece “Sugar Shack” was the endearing centerpiece in many scenes of Good Times, a staple television series in the African-American community during the 1970′s. Ernie Barnes legacy will be his impeccable ability to paint subjects in motion, specifically athletes, dancers, and youth. Barnes died on Monday, April 27th, 2009 why do you like this picture? I was impressed at these pictures for the Olympics because subject matter is an exciting moment? I thinks it is more he use primary colors and secondary color and litter bit of tertiary color and...

...Growing up in Laredo I knew that I was a minority. Not only because of the population of the city compared to other, but because of the simple fact that almost all of the population in this city are Hispanics. Being a minority when it comes to the medical field is not the most common thing. According to an article posted on www.uhc.com (UnitedHealthCare), only about 9.2 of doctors today are minorities. Texas A&M International University was a result of frustrated Hispanics, minorities, which wanted to receive an education in south Texas. If you list all the cities in Texas that have a university, you will notice that almost all of them are in the north. I don’t want to be a doctor because of the money; I want to become a doctor because I want...

...FMC (Fine Mortuary College) in Norwood, MA. They are both funeral director colleges, I would greatly love to own and run my own funeral home. There are many reasons why I want to become a funeral director. Let me start off by saying, in my opinion many people are in this business for the wrong reason. They know people need to lay their loved one to rest so they are willing to pay the price, so some funeral homes tend to price things way to high. I am hoping that owning my own funeral home I can make a difference and make things easier for some families as far as pricing. Another reason I want to become a funeral director is because, back in 2013 my younger sister passed away and the funeral home my mom went with did a horrible job on her makeup, she did not look like herself and it made me sad and angry all at once. You want your loved one to leave this world looking their best, which she did not! I want to make sure I do great work on someone’s loved one so they can feel at ease and be happy with the outcome. My final reason I want to become a funeral director is because, I don’t feel the dead are...

...Almost every student wants to go college, and I am one of them. I know that college is expense, however there are scholarships to help with the cost. This scholarship will help impact my college education in a number of ways. This scholarship will help pay for materials, make it less-stressful on my family and myself, make my life easier down the road, and prepare myself for the real world.

The tuition is the biggest payment, but on top of that there is all sorts of payments including fees, books and materials, and room and board.

...Scholarship Essay Since I was little I had a big imagination. I went from wanting to be a veterinarian to an artist. I knew I could do anything as long as I had determination and a plan to get there. As a 17 year-old senior, my imagination is still as big as it was when I was little. I might not have the funds to support my imagination but I will get there. I am going to college no matter what my circumstances are. I know once I step across that stage in a couple of months; I will also be stepping into the real world. I have to grow up and make choices that will contribute to everything that I want to do in life. My mother, my father, nor any of my siblings ever made it to college, so going to college is a big deal to me. Everyone who I know would be proud of me. So while everyone else was just trying to coast through High School I was hitting the books, doing internship for my pharmacy tech class, and working a part time job; because my one and only goal was college. I knew I could always amount to something if I had the education and education is the...

...LAZARUK My name is Sgt Ben Lazaruk and I am applying for the Glider Pilot Scholarship. I am a level 4 cadet at #6 Jim White cross Squadron in Winnipeg. I am also the 2IC, second-in-command, of Mustang flight and an active member of our squadron’s ground school. I joined Air Cadets with a few goals; one of which was to live out my dream of flying and get my glider and pilot licenses hence why I am applying for this scholarship. I strongly believe that I have the work ethic, attitude, determination and dedication that are required to be successful at the Regional Gliding School in Gimli this year. At my squadron, I always attend extra cadet activities like sports nights, bush exercises, leadership and aviation weekends, glider familiarization days and most importantly ground school on Monday nights. Not only do I have an excellent attendance record but I also have a positive attitude towards the cadet program as well as everyone that is a part of it; I am also very respected by my peers. In recent years as a cadet, I have had the privilege to attend three different summer cadet camps. These cadet camps were the General Training and Basic Leadership courses in Penhold and the Basic Survival course in Cold Lake. Outside of cadets, I attend Miles McDonnell Collegiate. I am a grade 11 honors student in the very demanding International Baccalaureate Program. I maintain a very good reputation with my teachers as well as very good marks.

...Singapore. I am 21 years old who is persistent, goal oriented and conscientious. When I heard that ACCA is offering a scholarship, I was very elated to apply because I am cognizant that this opportunity seldom occurs and therefore I want to explore my chance of obtaining a scholarship awards. I believe that an award of scholarship can help me to realize my full potential in various ways. I believe that a scholarship award will help me to impart my requisite skills and knowledge to the wider society and by doing so; I will also fulfill my national and societal role. Right from the start, my attitude towards the ACCA course has been to take up new challenges and overcome them one at a time. This is evident from my consistent high scores, which helped me secure the top ranks in Singapore in the following subjects - 1st in Paper T3, 2nd in Paper F6, and 3rd in Paper T6. I also secured world ranks in Paper T3 and T6 - 3rd and 6th respectively. Hard work and dedication have similarly resulted in my obtaining an overall score of 87 in CAT and 80 in ACCA till date. I am currently working towards securing a world rank in my remaining subjects. My short term goal is to be a part of a financial team. I am committed to growing in that field in order to accomplish my long term goal of becoming a crucial part in running a company. Since I have a good merit and distinction in ACCA examinations, I am confident of my application for the Simpson Scholarship. This scholarship will definitely...

...How would this scholarship help you pursue an education that would put you on your ideal career path? Personal Narrative Reach for the stars "The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." -Barack Obama. This quote said by president Barack Obama really stands out to me because I believe that I can accomplish anything as long as I put in enough effort and never give up on what I want to accomplish. My dream is to work in the field of astronomy. I have big hopes for the universe and the planets, stars, galaxies, and other extraterrestrial objects outside our world. I have always loved looking up at the stars every night and I have studied constellations, pointing them out to people is fun to me. I feel very intelligent when I teach other people facts about space and love how they react when I explain it to...

...Why should athletes not be paid? I’m going to tell you why the college athletes should not be paid. You should care about this topic because it is a problem that colleges face and if you want to play sports in college you might want to be paid for them but you get to choose to play sports or not. What some don’t know is that you shouldn’t have to get paid to play a sport that you chose to do. Today, I am going to try and persuade you why college athletes should not be paid. In college playing a sport is a privilege because most people that play sports in high school don’t play in college. What reason do athletes need more money, each year there are billions given to college athletes, the athletic scholarship averages over the schools tuition. Here is an example Ohio State of a little over $10,000 a year and the scholarship is $17,856 (Anderson). If they wanted to get paid let’s say a $100,000 salary that isn’t bad but a salary is affected by federal and state taxes. A student with a salary would have to pay a total of $34,900. That means the student only has $65,100. And college expenses get to $65,000 then then what was $100,000 is only $100, so is getting paid and having a salary better...
