As a senior in high school, I have come to the realization that college is even more expensive than what our parents told us. That is, of course, if you decide to take the four-year college road. There are many other way cheaper ways to attend college. To begin with, one could go to a community college, it is much less expensive and it is usually close to home, so the room and board costs can be eliminated. Other options include the ROTC, transferring to a four-year college after spending two years in a community college, working while studying, etc. I will explain how to partially finance a four-year university and analyze how this will cut the cost that our parents warned us about.

It is a harder process and it could be much less lucrative than say the Co-op programs, but if you are lucky enough, you can pull off some money out of it. To do so, you need to be proactive. Most professors, while they are teaching, look for other things to do, and one of them are researches. They enjoy writing books for students or for professionals in their field because in the end, they are the experts on it. Here is where the students come in part. The professors cannot do all the jobs alone. Say a professor wants to study the reproduction of bacteria cells. They need someone to write their discoveries, to write thesis, to analyze what the discovery means, etc. Students are usually the ones doing that job. And money isn’t the only thing students gain with this, it is experience, a closer relationship with one of your professors, and if lucky enough, your name recorded in the inside of the

Every dime I earn working at Reynolds Community College and every grant and scholarship I receive will go towards my passion of studying human behavior and applying everything I learn to bringing every community I can reach, a giant leap forward. After receiving my associates degree in Social a Science I decided to take a year off to work towards finding what it is that I really want to pursue. I have searched for that 'something ' that will keep me intrigued and awake all hours of the night without realizing it. I have eliminated the idea of simply working to make ends meet or finding a good job to support my family and "living" outside the 40+ hours of a weekday job. I am pursuing much more and I am confident that I have found a path leading me to wake up before my alarm clock sounds instead of praying for more time.
A scholarship is an award of financial aid for a student to help further their education.
While education can open doors to your life, having the initiative to be successful is what really counts. I am determined and I have the desire to study Business but am lacking the financial support needed to achieve my goal. The Plant City Lions Club Scholarship would help me by giving me an opportunity to pursue my dream career. My desire is to be able to study in order to work and give back to my parents who have helped me accomplish graduating from Plant City High School with honors and with a weighted GPA of 4.7321.Receiving financial support will allow me to make a difference in the challenging world of Business. My parents have always supported me in everything, but unfortunately they cannot afford my college tuition.
That cost does not include room and board and a meal plan. To stay out of as much debt as possible a student needs to learn how to budget money.

At (blog.uncollege.org) it says, “The cost of college has skyrocketed in recent years. Attending a decently ranked university can easily cost upwards of $100,000.” Some People thought of not spending money on college but to go skip and go straight forward into life. But what I’ve seen in the success of college, are things that you earn and get rewarded for and you live life way easier. There is more to it than just getting a great job and getting more money after you graduate from college.
Since I only live with my mom,and she just has one job to pay all of our bills, paying for college is far from our minds. Even though my mom has worked hard to give me everything I needed and supported me all my life, she just doesn’t have enough to afford the privilege of me going to college. But with the help of this scholarship, I might be able to get a college education. If I get this scholarship,I promise that I will not leave it to waste. I will apply this scholarship to help me in my first years at TMCC.
Ever since I was a young child I knew I had one dream I wanted to turn into a realty. Some kids would answer when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up where, “An artist,” “A princess,” “Rich and famous.” But at that age, I knew I wanted to be a pediatrician. Saving lives and helping children was a dream I wanted to turn into a reality. At a young age, I was taught to work hard for anything you wanted to achieve.
The financial burdens that college leaves with the families and students needs to be addressed as student loans keep racking up over time. The cost of tuition for colleges has risen drastically over the years and has bounded students to only one or two college choices to choose from and at some points tearing away the opportunity to go to their dream college. However, one reason college has driven up in price is because the value it brings with it’s degrees, but it should not limit those who can not afford the worthy degree. College should be cheaper as it will ease financial burdens and broaden the choices of those wanting to attend
For generations there has been escalating problems on the rising costs for the college education,problems that are still taking place to this day. College is another step of education that many prefer but because of the economic problems, few attend. However,there are many ways to pay for college in this present age. College can be paid through scholarships,federal student loans and private student loans. This essay will illustrate the many ways that can solve the worlwide problem.
As I begin my college education, I want to continue doing my best in order to accomplish my goal of becoming a registered nurse. With the scholarship money I can have the peace of mind of solemnly focusing on college. Students who have to work to continue their education have trouble focusing on school and do not have the extra time to study or go to tutoring sessions. In many cases, having to work while attending college usually leads to failing or dropping the class due to extra stress and the idea of income. As well, this scholarship will give me more time to focus on my education and to continue my volunteer work helping the
Society often believes college is a necessary experience for a better future, but I argue that the future will not be any better when student debt becomes a part of life for those who follow that mainstream belief. Most parents often dream of the great colleges and universities that their children will get accepted into; however, they fail to think of the cost to attend those institutions. Financial aids! Financial aids! Yes there are financial aids that students can apply to lessen the student debt.
Despite all of the time I dedicated to school, I also am an active leader at St. Pius X. At SPX, I hold the position of a youth group leader, and I have dedicated numerous hours towards this church. Even with the workload, and extracurriculars, I have maintained a job since I was 16, and currently work 15 hours a week. Another reason I deserve this scholarship is because of finances. I won’t be receiving any financial aid for GVSU, and I will be receiving $5,000 a year for academics. However, this leaves an estimated $15,000 left to pay for each year, and despite the income of my family, we aren’t even close to being able to afford that.
