Topic: I need to outline my financial circumstances and reasons why I feel I should be considered for a bursary. This is for entrance scholarships and bursary's though the university.
I'm not sure about the content or how to end it! I know it needs work but I'm currently lost on what to write. Writing isn't my strong point so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
This coming fall, I will be attending Saint Mary's University to obtain a Bachelors of Commerce's degree, majoring in Accounting. The value of education is something I have understood since a very young age. Throughout my high school years, I have been a very committed student. I knew I had to be committed to my studies and my extracurricular activities in order for me to be able to continue on to post-secondary. When I was a young child my parents separated. I was raised by my grandmother and have lived with her for most of my life. Currently both of my parents are unemployed and have no source of income. When I entered my first year of high school I came to realize that funding my education is something I should be doing myself, so I started doing everything I could to help build my future. Unfortunately, my family cannot afford to put me through post-secondary. Going into university I will not be relying on parental aid. I will be relying on provincial and federal loans to get me though my next 4 years of university. Without relying fully on student loans and paying my own way throughout the next four years university wouldn't be possible in my current finical position. I hope to use my skills and work ethic to help me pay for university.
Within academics, I have always challenged myself to succeed as much as I possibly can, in efforts to become a successful student as well as an individual. This has allowed me to maintain honours with distinction throughout high school. I look to maintain this for my final year. When given the opportunity, I prove that I'm a dedicated and committed student. I know that I have the right amount of interest in Accounting and the desire to achieve what I want for the future. In my mind the four years I spend obtaining my degree will prepare me for my career and will give me what I need to reach my full potential. My main goal for the future is to become a Chartered Accountant after I finish my degree at Saint Mary's. Afterwards I hope to travel and gain experience working in an Accountant firm before potentially operating my own firm.
I feel like I should be considered for a scholarship/ bursary because I have shown that I am a deserving student, I will continue to apply the same work effort to my studies in university as I have from high school, making education my top priority. Winning any award would be an honour and a perfect way to be awarded for all my hard work....
