For all those honor students who want an ensured future a scholarship is a thing you should go after.
this is an editorial article I made for my local newspaper. Hope you like it!
Eyes Wide Open
Scholarships are very hard to come by and applying for it
may be even more difficult. With a majority of the student population who are
financially incapacitated it only shows that the demand for scholarships is
great.
Scholarships can greatly help families of the students.
It lightens the load that the parents need to shoulder. The only problem is, we
hardly hear anything about scholarships.
To solve this problem, we only need one thing,
initiative. We cannot expect application forms to be served on a silver
platter. Of course we need to keep our
eyes open for any news about scholarships. Ask the people who are involve
and get their requirements. The most commendable person in the school to ask
about scholarships is the guidance counselor. A guidance counselors does more
than just give disciplinary actions, they also assist in the students request
for scholarships or anything regarding to improve a student’s academic
performance. A quick visit twice a month can keep you updated. This gives you
ample time to accomplish the tasks being requested.
Do not be afraid to ask questions. The guidance
counselors will be happy to help you. In fact, it is their utmost priority to
make your life as a student comfortable, both socially and financially.
If the guidance office cannot give you any information
about scholarships, ask teachers. There are some who offer aid to financially
needy students. Other than that, the internet is another convenient way.
Scholarships are offered by people, companies and foundations. Look around and
you will definitely stumble upon one.
Initiative is definitely needed since the guidance office
is always busy. It is more appropriate if we go to them, not the other way
around. Asking around is another way to get informed. Keeping our eyes wide open definitely pays off.
