Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am very much looking forward to furthering my education! I've always had an interest in how money and finance works, but haven't pursued it because I didn't have much confidence in myself. I am currently a waitress (I have been a waitress for 13 years) at a wonderful restaurant, but I have been feeling quite unfulfilled lately. Receiving this scholarship would mean a lot to me because it can help me return to school and make life better for my family and I, and help me reach a goal that seemed too hard for me to complete for so long.

Hello, I am a mother of 3, I currently working fulltime graveyard shift 10 hours a night. I get home at 7am in the morning and stay up to help my daughters zoom for school, while my husband works during the day. I get very little sleep and just had a emergency hysterectomy, that had me out of work for over 2 months, which has put a financial burden on my family . I had to return to work early though, should still be out on disability due to my complications of my recovery, but my family needs the income. My line of work is all labor and on my feet for 10 hours. This scholarship would relieve a nice burden my family and the stress as well because , I have medical bills coming in left and right everyday for this surgery. I am in school to become a MRI Technologist and look forward to giving back to my community.

Hi, my name is Kristi. I have owned and operated and audio/visual production company for 30 years. Since my line of work involves tradeshow and conventions, because of Covid-19, I lost all revenue for 2020 and so far in 2021. I have always had a passion for cooking, so I am now attending Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.

Michelle G  on 1/24/2021 9:42:32 PM

My name is Michelle Guadalupe and I have returned to school to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration. I started at CTU in October 2020 with a graduation date set for 2022. I plan to use the knowledge gained from school to continue to grow with the company that I currently work at as well as start to build a real estate investment company. I plan to use the real estate company to help put my 3 nephews through college when they are of age and use the proceeds now to help support my father along with my sisters. To earn this scholarship would be a great way to continue to achieve the dream of a degree. I've thought of this degree since I graduated high school. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi My name is Olivia, i am currently enrolled in a college after many years of illness that would not allow me to pursue my education. It has been my dream to graduate one day.

Ethel c  on 1/18/2021 1:44:02 PM

Hello. I am a veteran, who is a LVN at the VA. I currently live in Daly City, CA. It's hard to go to school because I don't want to be broke again. After graduating LVN school, we were broke for a year, and it was bad! I've been wanting to back to school to get my BSN, but the fear of not providing for my family scares me. I would like to be a RN because I feel like I can help veterans more than I can as a LVN.

I am a single mother, I put school on hold while my company of 10 years gave me the ability to comfortably raise him. They are now closing due to COVID19 and I figured what better time to put my dreams in full force, unfortunately college is expensive and I am not financially equipped.

Vilma K  on 1/10/2021 12:10:28 PM

Hello, I am applying for this scholarship because I want to pursue my career. I came here in the land of opportunity, the United States of America when I was 20 yrs old, and started with not understanding and not able to communicate English at all. After all struggles, disappointments, and failures, I started to embrace the fact that life is not fair. My self confidence became stronger and had built me a great foundation. I am currently working full time at this time but when I start 16 credits of nursing classes this spring, I can only work part time. I am a head of the household with 2 dependents. I will use this scholarship to further my education to become a registered nurse. I am blessed and got accepted to the traditional nursing baccalaureate program. I believe that one person can make a difference and If I am a registered nurse helping people in any way, I myself can make a difference. I will not give up. I will continue to do my best to succeed because I know I can make a difference.

I was bullied and beaten up in grade school. I was labeled as a special needs (special ED kid) because of my dyslexia. In the 1980's they didn't understand my condition. I went to the public library every day to study anything I could in the Giant GED study they offer to study in building. I scored very well on my tests. I have learned to study in a way that helps me learn. I have had to work hard to over come obstacles. Financially I am Not able to go back to school. I would be very grateful for the assistance . Thank You. Kathie Jones

Shaun J  on 12/27/2020 9:06:04 AM

I am currently an LPN for over 20 years and I decided to go back to school after raising my children to obtain my BSN. I am inspired by women in their 50’s that decided to continue their education and that continue to be my motivation.

M. L. L  on 12/22/2020 4:46:08 PM

I am a **Disabled Veteran**, but that was not within the Selection Criteria, which I found strange. I have been trying to finish a Bachelor Degree for over 35 years - 25 of which I served in the Army. Between Deployments, Children, and Missions, I have not had the available time to finish college. In my current published Academic Plan for Intelligence Studies (BA), I have a total of 134 college credits: 50 of which are labelled "Excessive Credits", 48 General Electives, and 36 of 69 completed with a 3.67 GPA within the Intelligence Studies program. At nearly $1,000 per course, I will run out of Post 911 GI Bill before I run out of classes. This is extremely unfortunate, as I was planning to pass my Education Benefits to my daughters.

RAMONA D  on 12/7/2020 6:27:40 PM

I am technically considered a senior citizen at 57 y/o. Although that is enough to scare me into not continuing my secondary education I decided to blow past that. It is indeed a daunting thought. Why would I want to get a Masters's of divinity? Because i should and i can. Because I never finished because life got in the way, health got in the way and finances got in the way. this is how you can help a 50+-year-old minority finish strong. I am 30 credits away and you could make it so I don't have another excuse. At least not financial.
