I am applying for this scholarship to assist my father in paying for my education. He is a disabled veteran and has always instructed me to pursue as much education as I can. I am on the path to do that at Brevard College, NC. My father receives aid from the VA. However, it does not cover full costs of college education. In fact, there is quite the gap, and I am trying to help close that gap. I hope to follow in my father's footsteps by serving my country in the USAF as an Officer. Thank you for the consideration.

A scholarship can make a big difference in my life education. The money from a scholarship helps me by allowing me to be more selective in how I spend my free time. I’ll be able to maximize the college experience through service-learning, volunteer opportunities and internships.

I aim to make a difference in my community, and this scholarship will absolutely be the difference-maker when it comes to affording the education I need to do that.
