I am honored to be selected for the Acker Warren Fresh Start Scholarship. Your generous gift has made my education financially attainable. I take pride in how my hard work has paid off, but it is through gifts such as this that allow me to immerse myself into the college experience.

Going into a medical profession that requires lots and lots of school, it has been super important to me to get my tuition as low as I possibly can so that my parents don’t have to help me pay for anything. I am so thankful for this scholarship to help me take another step towards my goal!

Alford & Associates Students in Need Scholarship

I discovered the Alford & Clark Injury Attorneys Student in Need Scholarship through research via the Access Lex scholarship portal. To know that I was chosen to receive this scholarship means so much. Having the support to achieve my educational goals and aspirations means I get to continue blazing the path of breaking generational curses for myself and my family, as I am the first to have the resources to obtain any educational degree. I plan to use my Juris Doctorate for advocational use, advocating for those who cannot use their voice because of their rights being stripped from them, and to guide those following along a similar path as myself. With this scholarship, I get to explore the many doors that this degree will open for me, all while prioritizing fulfilling the needs of my community and being of service to those in need. I look forward to beginning my law school journey and am honored to have been chosen as the winner of the Alford & Clark scholarship!

Raised as a Texan, I was taught that Southern hospitality's first rule is to treat others with welcoming kindness, especially strangers and those in need. Alford & Clark Injury Attorneys, as a Texan firm and scholarship sponsor, embodies this #1 Rule with grace and professionalism. This scholarship will aid me in covering the costs of law school as I transition from service as a K-12 educator. Humbly inspired by this scholarship's recognition of my "dedication, determination, and hard work" (injuredtexan.com) to overcome obstacles and meager beginnings, I will continue to bring these qualities to the legal profession and assist all future clients in need of justice.

I first heard about the Behan Law Group Military Veteran Scholarship when I was browsing through some recommended scholarships on Salle Mae website. This scholarship caught my eye due to my dad being a long time veteran of the US military. When I began writing the essay, my passion for improving mental health for veterans and military families and destigmatizing grew even more. I am truly honored to have been awarded this scholarship, as it is a subject so near and dear to my heart and has affected my life as well as lives of others. With this opportunity, I will be able to finance my future classes with a little more ease. When I graduate I will be seeking clinical supervision to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and hopefully have the opportunity to create significant change in the lives of those affected by these issues.

Thank you to Joseph Bogdan and his practice for creating this opportunity for individuals who are pursuing a career in healthcare. After eight years as an ICU RN, I am furthering my education by pursuing a career in nurse anesthesia. I won't have an income during this intensive 3 year program so every little bit of financial assistance counts. This scholarship will without a doubt help alleviate this financial burden.

I chose Seoul, South Korea because I admire Korea’s modern art culture and its willingness to break boundaries. I hope to immerse myself in the artistic culture of another country and to learn not only the techniques and styles but also truly understand that there is so much more to the world of Fine Arts.

My counselors pushed me to apply for this scholarship, so I could continue to spread my ideas and grow into the person I am meant to be. Upon hearing that I had been accepted as a recipient of this distinguished scholarship it was as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I had no idea how I would pay for this next step in my educational journey, but I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity. I hope you know the impact you have had on me. Thank you for your contribution to the youth of our community and my future.

Vasquez Law Firm DACA Dreamer Scholarship

Thank you so much for all your help! This will help me continue my studies. This is one of the only scholarships that is open to students like me. It feels amazing to see that there are people out there that care about DACA students. I look forward to finishing my doctoral degree.

As a DACA student pursuing graduate education, finding financial aid has been challenging. I spent significant time searching for scholarships that support DACA students, leading me to this amazing opportunity. I am incredibly proud to have won this scholarship. Despite excelling academically and professionally, the lack of financial support often discourages students like me from pursuing higher education. This scholarship is a huge contribution and support towards obtaining my Doctorate in OT degree and becoming an Occupational Therapist. My career goals include working with underserved communities, specifically older adult populations. I aspire to participate in research related to underserved communities and brain injuries, work as a clinician delivering culturally tailored care, and explore becoming involved in academia for higher education.

I had been looking at DACA scholarships online, and by chance, I stumbled upon the one for Vasquez Law Firm. I am so glad I did because there are very few scholarships available for DACA students. I do not typically consider myself very artsy, so I did not think I had a good chance to win. Upon receiving the email, I was so beyond ecstatic to receive the news. The only way I have been able to pursue higher education has been with the help of scholarships, so I am very grateful for the support. My plan for the future is to continue to work in Higher Education. I want to serve as a President of a University. That is why I am pursuing my MBA to get some strong skills on the business side to complement my Higher Education background. I also am interested in pursuing my J.D. given that I have seen successful Presidents with that background as well. That is a couple of years down the road though. I need to complete my MBA first.

Thank you so much for the award – I am very grateful. This award will help reduce the amount of loans I will need to take out to finance my dental education. As a future pediatric dentist that wants to work with underserved populations, this award will allow me to get one step close to this goal. The search on Google for DACA-specific scholarships was very worth it. Thank you again!

I feel extremely confident to continue my education as well as continue to be a leader at Carthage College with the goal of assisting in minimizing the equity gap. I want to thank the Vasquez Law Firm for providing this scholarship for DACA Dreamers like myself.

I am incredibly honored and grateful to be awarded the scholarship. Please convey my deepest gratitude to the scholarship committee for their recognition and support. This scholarship will allow me to take more risks (instead of relying solely on a part-time job) and explore a myriad of options presented throughout college; such as research during summer, or exploring an entrepreneurial start-up idea, or to continue working pro-bono to improve community outcomes as I have done.
