What Are Your Short Term Academic Goals?

My short term academic goals are to get an Associates in Human Services degree in Counseling or a degree that gets me a career working by the end of 2018. Upon my graduation date, I plan to transfer to East Tennessee State University and get focus on my Major in Human Services and work on getting on a Bachelor´s in Counseling.

Getting this scholarship would open up a door of opportunities for me. It would give me a boost in confidence and also make me feel good knowing I completed an important task and in doing so got me closer to my goals, and also created a foundation for me to get a good career. I think that getting into a college is very important for anybody looking to be in a career they love.

    Full Ride Scholarship

    I feel like I am a good candidate for this scholarship because, as a senior, any and all money earned and received will help me ease the burden of attending college. My goal throughout my whole childhood was to receive a full ride scholarship to the college of my dreams; however, as time has gone on and I have matured I have come to the realization that, that dream is not as achievable as I once believed it to be. I have worked hard, inside and outside of the classroom, making the grades and creating the resume that colleges are looking for, and in response I have been offered tuition waivers. Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…

    If I was awarded this scholarship it would greatly help me offset some of the costs of college. In order to pay for school I rely on student loans, and my dad takes money out of his retirement fund to pay for the remaining amount that I owe. It is difficult to ask my parents for money for tuition because I know my dad will be retiring soon, so every dollar he gives me results in him having to work longer before he can retire. If I was awarded this scholarship it would put a lot less stress on my family because they wouldn’t have come up with the money each semester. It would also result in me being able to pay my dad back much sooner so that he can retire.…

    Our world cares and nurtures over 7 billion people -which is rapidly rising-, drains about about 400 quadrillion BTUs of energy each year, and desperately tries to meet the basic needs of every human being. Every year, we demand more and more from our Mother Earth while her supplies cannot replenish as fast as we take, and consequently, will not meet our energy needs in the next upcoming years. Specifically in the United States, in 2014 we consumed nearly 80.50 quadrillion BTUs of energy from petroleum, natural gas, and coal; which also is an increase from 2013 of approximately 1.03 quadrillion BTUs. It is no doubt that we need to begin to take action and find new innovations involving groundbreaking technology and sciences in order to meet…

    Scholarships would allow me to center in my focus on college. Not having to worry about paying for the full tuition of college reveals some stress and will allow me to focus on my studies and livestock judging. One unquie thing about my situations is my parents are not helping me pay for college in order to teach me how to be an adult. I do have some money saved in the bank but it does not even come close to covering the expense of going to community college and then attending a university. The biggest impact these scholarships have on me is that by not paying the full tuition, I will not be in debt for ten years or more after college like a lot of people are.…
