Scholarship

about the Bardwell Scholarship over 15 years ago. One of my mentors, Gaylord Bogguess introduced me to Hedy and I immediately felt a connection to her. At the same time, I was nervous because I am most certain I had the worst grades and GPA at Harold Washington College at the time. My first few attempts at HWC were catastrophic and I was not in the proper headspace to be a successful college student. My GPA had slid under a 2.0 and I was not the ideal candidate for a scholarship. However,…

Dear Michael T. Bardin scholarship foundation, I am writing to express my upmost gratitude in receiving the Michael T. Bardin scholarship. I feel very lucky to receive such a meaningful scholarship and for being chosen out of more than 150 applicants. I went to read about Mr. Bardin online, but I was very sad to find out he had passed away in 2005. I am also very glad to hear how brave and how much an advocate of education he had been. To me, there could not be a scholarship better to receive…

Cotton scholarship it will assist me in continuing to be an advocate for my students. This scholarship will not only change my life but it will grow a network of trained counselors and teachers, all whom I have the honor of serving as DISD counselor.

There is a specific reason I am applying for this scholarship. I believe that there are several characteristics that set me apart from other candidates such as my ability to persevere after obstacles and my character. I have endured many different hardships in my life, but rather than making excuses, I refuse to allow them define who I am or who I can be. They have assisted my character to become what it is today. My childhood was not the easiest to have. I had only ever known my parents as…

awarding me the Emma Oexemann scholarship, this means a lot to me. With this scholarship I get to take out significantly less loans and I’m able to cover the costs of my attendance. As a high school student I didn’t realize the importance of scholarships and grants, but as the time for college to begin draws closer, I’m overwhelmed with how much more I should of done. I know that everyone who talked to me about college had one thing to say, get as many scholarships as you can, but I heard it so…

The greatest turning point in Richard Rodriguez’s; Scholarship Boy, was the moment when Rodriguez recognizes his parent’s foreknowledge of his own intelligence. “You both must be very proud of Richard,” the nun said. They responded quickly. (They were proud.) “We are proud of all our children.” The this after-thought: “They sure didn’t get their brains from us.” They all laughed. I smiled (p.22 From Inquiry to Academic Writing. “Scholarship Boy” Richard Rodriguez).” Rodriguez becomes aware that…

TRIO Scholarship Application 1. Education is so important to me. I’ve worked at pretty average jobs since I dropped out of college over ten years ago. My life has changed completely since then, but I had begun to wonder if I would ever be able to return to school to finish my degree. I worried that it had been too long and I would no longer be capable of handling the rigorous workload. I have proved my fears wrong! I am doing better today than I ever have before, and I enjoy all of my classes.…

might as well go for it right? Well, at least thats what I thought until I found out that I had received a scholarship for the community college. This scholarship would pay every cost that had to do with my tuition up to my textbooks. Of course I thought about it for a brief second, but I couldn’t settle so I decided to not take the offer. Also, I decided to not tell my mom about the scholarship that I had received. I knew that if I were to tell her she would do the impossible to get me to go…

Introduction Hi, I’m Myrna Montoya, and I have been a nurse for more than 22 years. Nursing is my third profession. I was a schoolteacher and a consultant in training and development in my past life. When I got my diploma in nursing from Holy Name Hospital School of Nursing in Teaneck, NJ, I gave myself five years to link the three “me’s” into one “me”. On the fourth year of working as a staff nurse, I was offered a nurse educator position in the Education and Practice department in…
