With scholarship season quickly approaching, I thought I'd repost some of my favorite scholarship essay quotes from last year. Here's hoping this year is just as...entertaining.
"I don’t want to waste the committee’s time with frivolous words about how much I love the school and want to go there."
from another scholarship app: Community Activities: "I reguarly walk dogs and take care of neighbors' pets."
"My name is ######### and I'm a Rennasiance man."
"I mean, I can admit that when I made it to high school, my drive to succeed was put away. I just do enough just to get by."
entire Scholarship essay: "I would like to play ice hockey for the hockey team and eventually play hockey after college and I believe UAHuntsville can help me with this goal."
"While UAHuntsville does not offer a major in Aerospace Engineering, I still feel that I will be able to gain the knowledge I need to have a career in space exploration." ---um...we DO have Aerospace Engineering, we are next door to NASA.
"Unlike most people my age, I am focused and have goals."
"I was an only child til about six when my mother gave birth to my sister,(who later on gave birth to my youngest brother)"
when asked to describe his goals for college, this student said: "I haven't put much thought into it yet. I'll set my college goals after I'm accepted."
And finally....drum roll please...
"I like my church like I like my women, loud and rowdy."
