Hi, I'm starting freshman year this FALL 2020 and I'm happy to start this new chapter in life. Although, I can't be overjoyed since I would not be experiencing my first year as a college student because of COVID-19. My goals and dreams got ruined because of COVID-19 I wanted to enjoy this last year with old friends, now that I'm transitioning to College, I understand that it's quite expensive to attend College, I was raised in Houston and went to elementary all the way until now to College, this city gave me a lot and took away from me, but overall I'm satisfied of the woman I have become throughout the years. I'm majoring in Architecture is quite an expensive career, for why I decide to apply to any scholarship that will help me get the required necessities to keep my dream from going as first generation student. I would like to win this scholarship to be able to pay expenses of books and supplies, I have to provide my own laptop and they don't come cheap on Architecture, I wished I had scholarship awards for it but I do not. I believe that I will persevere and I will commit to becoming a role model to others. I hope to hear back from you all soon. Best regards, Mariana

I applied for the scholarship because with being a first generation student and the very first child in my family to go to college my parents are new to all this and having to pay so much when my dad is the only person working is very difficult. I want this scholarship to be a big support for my parents with paying school.

Hello, I'm a graduate of the class of 2020 from Hillcrest High School located in Dallas, TX. I believe that this scholarship will help me financially to pay for college in order to study to become a mechanical engineer. The scholarship will help me pay for tuition, books, and room and board.

I am a returning student to a HBCU and due to Covid-19 it has presented financial challenges for my parents to support my financial needs. I am wanting to continue y studies in Cyber-security. This scholarship would help me to continue my education

Jacob M  on 6/17/2020 11:47:26 AM

I applied for this scholarship because i have a single mother who takes care of my nieces (sisters kids) and this cuts a lot of long term stress on her and me.

Shawon S  on 6/6/2020 12:59:49 AM

I am currently a freshman in college and I never heard of this scholarship before but I wish I applied.

Kayla V  on 6/1/2020 3:54:55 PM

I am the second and last to go to college and I didn't receive all of the nice benefits like my older sister did when she went off to college. Receiving this scholarship would be a big blessing for my family and I. With no support from my father and my mom & sister both making sure I am able to continue to receive my education at Texas State University this would be a great contribution to all that they do for me.

Kaila Cotton  on 5/29/2020 10:40:30 PM

I applied for this scholarship as a boost. Being a single mother of three children saving is a must. So I have to now start a new savings, taking away from them for my own desires seem unfair in my eyes. But, I’m continuing my education from Houston Community college to the University of Houston soon and I will need as much financial help as I can receive in order to peruse my goals. I want to make my children proud, being a young mother, many have seen it as a disadvantage, a burden even. But they push me to do better and encourage my occupation decision as a Reading & Writing teacher for fifth graders. They are my first set of students.

Akwawo Ekpu  on 5/28/2020 9:09:57 PM

I really need this scholarships because I am a star student who cannot afford to be applying for financial aid all year long. The loans are piling up higher and higher and I am really starting to think I may be stuck with them for a long time. So today I have decided to apply for this scholarship. I hope I can win this time, its not everyday an ordinary kid like me can get a scholarship

Reo B  on 5/25/2020 10:05:46 PM

This scholarship will help my financial needs as I am the first in my family to attend college. This will help further my education and help me continue my education.

Juan S  on 5/22/2020 8:33:56 PM

My mom has been working really hard her entire life in order to support our family. It has been a tough road, and it is far from over from her. Now that I am going to college, I want to be able to provide my own source of income, so that she must not worry too much about me anymore. If it helps anybody, it really helps her the most because she has spent every last dime she has into taking care of her family. The least I could do is take a bit of stress off of her.

Jasmine W  on 5/7/2020 8:53:37 PM

I applied for this scholarship because I would like to help my parents with some of the bills around the house. They are currently out of work due to the virus going around. This money could also allow me to save a little for my tuition next semester. It could relieve a lot of pressure around for me.

Bibita Chhetri  on 5/7/2020 7:28:03 PM

Yes, I applied for this scholarship. I'm currently a high school senior who is planning on going to University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) after graduation.

Damien G  on 4/16/2020 10:28:56 PM

I applied for this scholarship because I wanna be able to help my parents out financially. They have done nothing but help with me, giving up time, money, and who knows what else. I wanna be able to make them proud and follow my goals in the medical field. This scholarship can spare my family and allow them to use their own money on themselves and not on me for a change. Thank you.

Miranda A  on 3/3/2020 12:25:28 PM

I applied for the scholarship to support my financial needs and relieve stress on myself and my mother who is a hard working single parent who is also attending college again. Using this money will allow me to focus on saving up for rent and not have to work so much so I can focus on my school work.

Dakota C  on 1/29/2020 4:11:39 PM
