Alexis Ramos Says:
My name is Alexis Ramos and I am seventeen years old. I am attending the University of California Berkeley this fall 2008. Unfortunately my family will not be able to provide the funds necessary to pay for my education. I find myself utterly on my own.

Nicholas Patrick Bacon Says:
I have recently been accepted to the University of Alabama in Pre-Engineering. Currently, I am taking Honors Physics and Calculas as well as other dual enrollment college courses during my junior and senior years in high school. Both of my parents are teachers and have worked very hard to send my older sister Lauren, my twin brother Chris, and me to college. Even though I have been working every summer since age 16, I still do not have enough money to attend college and follow my dreams to be an engineer. I would greatly appreciate your consideration for any scholarships which are available for starting to college in the fall of 2009.
Respectfully yours,
Nicholas P. Bacon

Steven McDonough Says:
My name is Steven McDonough. I am a senior at DeSmet Jesuit High School in St. Louis, Missouri. Last year I was diagnosed with a massive intramedullary spinal cord ependymoma tumor. Intramedullary spinal cord tumors are rare and there is no treatment consensus and no cure. My tumor was from the base of my brain to between my shoulder blades and was inside my spinal cord. Every doctor who saw me said I would be left paralyzed and ventilated if I were to have my tumor removed. I underwent radiation but continued to declne. Then, I found Dr. Jallo at Johns Hopkins who is an expert on these tumors. He completely removed my tumor last spring and I have no paralysis. I am recovering, but can walk, drive, and go to school. I am off all meds and am looking forward to majoring in biology in college and going on to medical school. If there is anything you can do to help me with my tuition for college, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

I am an honors an AP student, currently a junior attending Bloomfield High School. I come from a family of 6 girls, raised by a single mom, who is the most amazing parent a 17 year old could ever hope for. I have lived in Bloomfield my whole life, and have never really been anywhere in the world because my family never really had any money. In high school, I have developed an interest in international relations, and in community service and helping others. It is my dream to go to college, learn as much as I can, and help the world in return. I want to make a difference in the world, and I am starting here. I speak up for what I believe in, and I hold good moral standards, honesty, family, and trust above all else. This scholarship would enable me to go pursue these dreams, and have an opportunity to truly make a difference. Thank you! 🙂

Noe Sanchez Says:
Thank you for helping out people who are seniors and juniors just like me. My family is helping me through high school but i know they are not going to be there always to help me. That is why I want to achieve in my career and go beyond that to learn new things in life and how they work. My parents can’t not afford to send me to college, thats is why i need all the help i can get. Again thank you for this opportunity and i hope i can make a difference in life.
Respectfully yours,

I am graduateing from High School, 2011 and have been accepted at Limestone ollefe 1115 College Drive, Gaffney, SC. 29340. My passion is to study American History with a double major in Art/Business this Fall 2011. After my graduation my desire is to teach at the High School levels to give back to my school and community.
My mother is a disabled single parent raising my siblings and I and can not afford to send me to college. Everyday it is a struggle for her just to make ends meet but has always stressed to us how important it is to futher our education, therefore, I have stepped out on my own to find funding to help me pursue my college career. Please consider my application and may God Bless you all. Thank you for your time and consideration at this time.
