...Over the years I've been very involved in my church in areas such as; helping where I am needed, teaching third grade Sunday school, and going on mission trips to Port Saint Joe, FL and Spain. Being active in my church has intensified my compassion for serving and has also played a significant role in the career path I have chosen. Based on my interest in health and science paired with the love I have for helping others, I want to be a Pharmacist. I will be interacting with people regularly and I'll have the opportunity to establish relationships while creating a positive atmosphere. Nothing makes me more happy than to think I can serve others by supplying them with the medicine while providing the encouragement that everyone deserves to hear. My dilemma is my financial and family situation. Neither of my parents went to college, and my dad hasn't expected me to go either. Throughout my life my family has constantly struggled financially, as a result, I have become very familiar with living paycheck to paycheck with nothing to spare in between. My parents got a divorce which increased the difficulty of our financial situation. I realized before high school that if I wanted to go to college and have a better outcome than my parents, I would have to do it myself. From the time I started high school I made it a goal that school would be my highest priority and I would give my best to accomplish any task that was handed to me. Between sophomore and junior year I decided that I wanted...

...INCREASING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM EFFICIENCY 1 Increasing Efficiency in a Community College Scholarship Program Margit Brumbaugh Concordia University Portland An Action Research Proposal/Report Presented to The Graduate Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Masters in Education/Educational Leadership Concordia University Portland 2011 INCREASING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM EFFICIENCY 2 Abstract This action research was designed to increase the efficiency of a community college scholarship program. The research developed in response to a desire to increase numbers of scholarship applications from students and to streamline the selection and financial reconciliation processes at the research site. The literature search revealed these aims to be common among community college scholarship programs nationwide. Data was gathered through surveys, interviews, and observations. Data analysis suggests that passive information on the part of colleges, lack of student confidence in qualifications, and lack of student awareness of the differences in scholarship criteria are significant contributing factors leading to low rates of application. Data related to recipient selection processes show that committee training, the use of multiple reviewers, and the use of consistently-applied scoring rubrics increase selection efficiency. Results suggest further research possibilities to determine the extent to which various scholarship marketing strategies, and the manner...

...Article 1: Financing Your Education Paying for College 101 There's no way around it. A college education is expensive, especially if you or your child goes to a private school. How much it will cost depends on the school you choose. Once you've narrowed your choice of schools, contact them to find out how much the total cost will be and what scholarships and financial aid are available. High schools often hold free seminars on choosing and paying for college. Another source of information on financial assistance from both private and government sources is finaid.org. This site also offers calculators that can help you figure out how much school will cost, how much you need to save, and how much aid you will need. Many state governments have created programs to make it easier for families to save money for their children's education. Visit collegesavings.org for links to information on various state programs such as 529 plans. Other helpful college planning tips: * Pay close attention to state and federal financial aid deadlines. You'll want to file well before the deadline though, so you can receive aid before funds run out. * Check the Department of Education's student budget calculator. You can plug in tuition costs, room and board and other expenses along with how much money you have in student loans or grants to get an idea of where you stand financially. * Make sure your college bound child gets involved in the process. Point them to College.gov where they...
