You have the DREAM. We have the resources. Not sure where to start with your scholarship essay? Here are some sample responses from one of ScholarshipsA-Z’s student leaders. These well-written, powerful essays helped this student win scholarships worth over $1,000. The student’s name has been changed to protect the student’s identity.

SAMPLE QUESTION 1: What are your career goals, and how will earning a college degree or certificate from PCC help you achieve those goals? My name is Abigail Lopez. I am a student at Southeastern College completing an associate’s degree in science and planning on transferring to a four-year college or university. My educational aspirations consist of acquiring a bachelor’s degree in any biological or health science that would assist me in pursuing a medical career as a doctor. On the other hand, my career vision is to one day be able to provide affordable health care to marginalized communities in the United States. However, I am certain that if I do not complete my college degree I could never have the opportunity to achieve my career goals. I decided that I will attain a career as a doctor since my passion has always been assisting others and trying to improve their quality of life. Therefore, I think that pursuing such a career will provide me the opportunity to help improve the community's health quality conditions and learn about their medical needs. After becoming a certified doctor, I want to specialize in oncology, the study of cancer, and add my knowledge to the cancer research field. Furthermore, I want to contribute back to undeserved populations in the U. that struggle every day to sustain a family, and who do not have as much access to medical assistance as other privileged groups. The first health project I want to accomplish throughout my career as a doctor is to establish a free clinic where affordable medical

assistance can be provided regardless of the patient's immigration status. The diverse health services would include free doctor consultations, low-price or free medication, and nutritional classes to prevent the presence of diabetes or heart disease. I also intend to provide an interpreter for patients in case they do not speak English and establish a financial assistance program to help patients who are not able to pay for any type of surgery that needs to be performed. The second biggest career goal that I want to accomplish is to establish a non-profit organization where I can create internships for medical school students around the U., and allow them to travel to isolated communities around the world to provide free medical services. I also want to provide nutrition education to support these marginalized communities, especially indigenous groups from Latin American countries. This will help contribute to the physical development of kids and offer a solution to malnutrition. I know that all of my goals will remain dreams if I do not complete my medical degree. Therefore, I am committed to working hard in school and looking for opportunities that could help me make my goals a reality.

thought that my mom was overwhelming herself, so I decided to help her run the cleaning business in June 2008. In order to help my mom focus on her hair-styling business, I later took over the cleaning business in November 2008, and still manage it today. Currently, I clean houses for various families and usually work between three to ten hours per week, which is a flexible schedule that allows me to be a full-time college student. In addition, I help cover my family’s basic expenses by babysitting and tutoring other college students in math or chemistry. While I am constantly trying to find more work and searching for scholarships that will help me pay for my education, I remain grateful to find opportunities like the one your foundation is providing to students. It makes me feel that I am not alone on the journey of accomplishing my educational goals.

SAMPLE QUESTION 3: Why should you be selected for a scholarship? Please describe any academic achievements, community service activities, examples of leadership, or other personal characteristics that make you deserving of this scholarship?

I believe I deserve to be selected for one of your foundation’s scholarships because

as a hard working student I commit myself to effectively take advantage of the opportunity

that the scholarships will provide me. Besides, I am a student that does not only

persistently works hard academically, but also I constantly try to improve my own

community's quality of life by doing volunteer work.

I believe education is the key to success, and I try to connect my passion for

education with my desire of helping others. As a result, I decided to be part of the

establishment of a non-profit organization named ScholarshipsA-Z, which provides college

educational resources to parents, educators and students regardless of immigration status.

Along with other college and university students and advisors, we decided to unite and

create such organization in order to establish a more educated community about the steps

needed to take in order to attain a higher education. As a board member of the

organization, my responsibilities consist of planning and organizing educational

discussions about immigration at conferences and high schools, doing research about

scholarships for students regardless of immigration status, updating a scholarship list on

the ScholarshipsA-Z website, and translating any ScholarshipsA-Z documents including a

60-page student resource guide. I believe that education should be a right not a privilege,

and when I see that students are being denied the right of acquiring a college education, I

feel the need to take action. Consequently, this is the major reason why I decided to be an
