Essay excerpt: “This scholarship would greatly improve my ability to pay for school. It might even cut down on my need to work as much during high school. It will give me more time to focus on my learning and not on my working.”

Recommendation excerpts: “I cannot say enough good things about this young lady! In addition to earning solid A’s in English 11 and 12 (which is not an easy task!), Simone is extremely intelligent, conscientious, trustworthy, reliable, detail-oriented, creative, amiable, self-motivated, inspiring, independent, resourceful and quick to learn just about anything.”
“Simone is an individual who shares herself with others authentically and unconditionally. It is better for her to give than receive. She inspires others to do the same.”
