"Your Success" Youssef Scholarship
My interest in science dates back to secondary school. I enjoyed classes in Chemistry, Physics and Math. During the time I was in secondary school, I was an Executive committee member of the Science club and a Chairperson of the Mathematics Club besides that I was a Sports prefect, Board Representative, and Chairperson of the scripture Union. My passion for Computer technology and Science emerged from the time I was young in my Junior Secondary School. Although at home we never had computers I was able to operate the internet services on smartphones, install applications, learn about new technology and software development, I was even able to repair small faults in phones and they used to call me, “Scientist”. When I went to secondary school I started learning more about computers and different software and hardware in the School computer laboratory.
I did participate in the Olympiads and I came out the first at the Provincial level in mathematics, I was also very active in sports, I participated in the inter-School ball games in Basketball and football and we came out second in basketball and first in football. My school did not have proper facilities for sports like a basketball court, football ground, etc. so mostly I used to organize my fellow students and take them to public facilities where we were allowed to train from.
What really excites me about Tertiary education is the student-faculty ratio, mostly the student ratio is 11:1, and the school has 70.9% of its classes with fewer than 20 students, it is very easy for them to understand what is being taught and be controlled by their lecturer unlike in a group of many. Secondly, the most popular majors like : Health Professions and Related Programs; Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services; Social Sciences; Visual and Performing Arts; and Biological and Biomedical Sciences and this can give the variety to explore other majors areas of interest. The average freshman retention rate, an indicator of student satisfaction, is 72% Campus safety data were reported by the institution to the U.S. Department of Education and have not been independently verified. The numbers for criminal offenses reflect reports of alleged offenses to campus security and/or law enforcement authorities, not necessarily prosecutions or convictions. Experts advise prospective students and their families to do their own research to evaluate the safety of a campus as well as the surrounding area.
Tertiary education offers a number of student services, including non-remedial tutoring, placement service, health service, and health insurance. They also offer campus safety and security services like 24-hour foot and vehicle patrols, late night transport/escort service, 24-hour emergency telephones, lighted pathways/sidewalks, controlled dormitory access (key, security card, etc.). I feel like no other education can shape me to become the person I want to become, a pioneer of my dreams, and a better person, other than. I want to Study in a peaceful environment Like tertiary education where I can share my Culture and embrace one another’s Culture. I want to find a home and work at the end of my studies. I believe I do not only want to travel but to learn but also to contribute and participate in School activities like Basketball, football, men's soccer, volleyball, debate, voluntary, hospitality, etc. I want to continue making my University the best place and Best University. I am ready to become a student and ready to contribute to the quality of student Life.
WCEJ Thornton Foundation Low-Income Scholarship
In my last organization the editorial team always missed out on their dates to send off the magazine for print. So, after talking about the problem with my Editor, I addressed it during the team meeting and drew up a proper schedule with due dates and every details required and shared it with all.
For the first time in a year, we managed to close the editorial processes on time without any hassle.
Thereafter, my boss as well as the senior management made sure that everyone in the team followed the schedule to the ‘T’. This also helped in getting better revenues.
I consider it to be my greatest achievement as I could efficiently manage to structurize a plan to help the team in its productivity and draw in more revenue.”
“My greatest achievement is the time when my article crossed 1 Million view in a single day.
Although a fresher, my Editor entrusted me to cover a very important topic which was in the news for its controversial nature.
It was my first ever magazine article, and even though I was really nervous, my teammates and Editor guided me throughout.
With their guidance as encouragement, I completed the piece and it received appreciation from the whole team. However, we never imagined that by uploading it on the internet, the article would cross 1 Million views overnight!
As a writer and editor, I believe it is my greatest achievement when my work is appreciated by the audience. In future, I want to continue pursuing my dreams and broaden my writing skills with the combination of computer science. I want to be a person to try out something with the skills I will obtain from my degree.
Austin Kramer Music-Maker Scholarship
Hopefully, the idea presents itself as I move through my day.
If it doesn’t, I have a few things I like to do:
I will often do a free write. That’s when you just blather on about whatever you want using whatever meter or lack thereof you feel like. After a bit, I’ll usually have something I can whittle down into a poignant line or two. The line or two from the free write is the seed that has grown some really truthful songs of mine and will hopefully grow many more.
If my free write ends up sounding dumb, I’ll often turn to the wisdom of others and read poetry. The finally jump into my song.

I believe that your family means everything in the world to a person. If you don’t care and love your family then how could you call yourself a human being.
Family are those you brought you in this world. They are the one’s that protect you from dangerous things. They make sure you have shelter, food, and clothing. They are the one’s that named you, made you who you are today.
Family is your mom, dad, brothers and sisters. The people who care the most for you. They are your true friends, the one’s that always have a shoulder to lean and cry on. Those who comfort you when you are down. Family are those who are there for you when you succeed in something important to you. The one’s that are there to see you graduate from high school and college. Those who care to see you have the best things in life. Your educaion, car, house, and to make sure you have a good job and your own family.
Family are those that do school activities with you , play in the snow, go to the beach. Family is everything to me I don’t know about you all but, I’m hoping that they mean the same to you. Family means everything.
Chris Jackson Computer Science Education Scholarship
Growing up in the technology age characterized by widespread computer applications marked the beginning of my interest in computers. My father is a military technician who spends much of his career life traveling to and from different Islamic states with the US Marines as a military logistician. My father is a real fanatic of his job as he is literally obsessed with it. When at home, he spends much of his time on the computer developing and trying simulations for warplanes, military combats, and vehicle operations. I often look up to him because his logistics operations are behind some big wars that the US has won in the past such as the war in Afghanistan, and various other military operations. As my father demonstrated, the military processed a lot of information through computers including digital terrain models, aerial photography, and remote sensing applications in various military operations. Occasionally, he came home with various maps and models developed for use in the wars. I fell in love with his profession, but not as much as I did with just how much fun and easy it was to fight complex wars in a world so enabled by computers.
Later, as I progressed through to high school, I discovered many things that I can do with computers. My high school exposed us to computing techniques such as programming and modeling techniques though especially for those who wanted to pursue computer-related courses and professions later in their lives. From this exposure, I felt that I did not have to be on the war front, but still contribute significantly through logistics development. While on vacations, my father showed animations they used to train for their military operations under different environments. Particularly, what captured my interest was the ability to model terrain characteristics to depict different terrain characteristics eminent on various grounds. Computer simulations of military combats, warplanes, and missile evading techniques my father displayed to us just trifled my intrigue. The applications were quite practical and seemed very effective for the modern-day scenario. My love of computers and the experiences I have attained have acted as an eye-opener to the many different opportunities that I can exploit with a profession in computer science. Owing to these experiences, I see pursuing a profession in computer science not only as a gateway to achieving my childhood dreams but also as a bridge to exploring a wide array of other opportunities available in the world. Granted this scholarship will actually open days in my career path that will enable to continue pursuing my dream career in computer science.
A Sani Life Scholarship
Prior to 2020, I thought I had a pretty good handle on this. It’s a tricky thing to grasp emotionally, but the basic gist is that whether or not you have free and enthusiastic consent to do something has no bearing on how you feel about the thing afterward. For example, if your lover suggests trying something new and you say “yeah, sure, that sounds interesting,” then after you try it you decide you hate it, your consent hasn’t been violated.
This sounds obvious but doesn’t always feel obvious. A lot of people can come away from an experience they didn’t enjoy feeling like they were coerced into it even if they weren’t; we don’t really live in societies that teach us to hold “I consented to this” and “I didn’t like this” in two separate buckets.
I’ve consented to things that, after the fact, I really didn’t like, so I know how easy it is to feel violated even if I wasn’t. That’s something I’ve always been aware of. Simple, right?
The place where I’ve struggled is applying the same idea in reverse. If my boundaries were overrun or my consent was violated by someone who pressures or coerces me into doing something I say “no” to, and then afterward I realize I enjoyed the thing, my consent was still violated. The fact that I enjoyed it afterward doesn’t erase the consent violation.
As I unpack some really horrifying things a person in a previous relationship did to me, I’m also unpacking that this person did in fact commit a very serious consent violation when she coerced me to do something after I said “no” directly and repeatedly.
When I did the thing, I had a (mostly) good experience, which I think blinded me to the seriousness of the consent violation.
It’s important to keep these ideas as separate things: whether or not you agree to do something and how you feel about the thing afterward. It’s easiest to see this in things you agree to that you later don’t like, but it’s just as important to recognize in things you don’t agree to that you later do like
"Wise Words" Scholarship
You mean a world to me. This quote just did an exemplary phenomenal about the aspect of being in love with someone.
When you’re in love, you can’t help but let that person know they mean the world to you. These kind of words aren’t just applicable to two individuals. We can also say them to our parents, children, friends, and family. Telling them they mean the world to us means they are ardently loved or exceptionally important to us. It is how we express our gratitude and appreciation for their existence in our lives. We say these words to people who were with us through thick and thin, pain and joy, cries and laughter. They are the people who will always be special to us no matter what happens. We treasure them so much and never let them go.

My names are Chibesakunda Kamangu. I did my secondary education at Kamenza secondary school, during my secondary education, I was a sports prefect, School Board representative and I was a member of several school clubs like Jet club, Mathematics club, science club and scripture union club. I was currently admitted at Jacksonville University. I love music and a lot of activities I have briefly explained.
I Started music when I was in secondary school in 2016 after completing my secondary school education. Immediately after my completion of secondary school education, I wrote my first EP ( extended play) and I got singed under Rowdy industry projects (Rip) where I did record my EP titled Pain and many other opportunities to perform in music concerts around the country, I also had opportunities to learn more music instruments like piano, keyboard and drums. I successfully recorded my EP and I released it in 2019. I am currently working on my second Album titled Joy Come in the Morning.
I am willing to explore more and learn more in music because I have been passionate about it.

Music is the most powerful tool that I can't leave without it has shappened my writing skills because I write lyrics most of the times.
Black Entrepreneurs of Philadelphia Scholarship
In the business world, there are many challenges to be faced by the traders, regardless of the business is large or small to achieve success challenge is very important for a business, the challenges enabling to increased business profits and marketing our business to the next level, where if the challenge is well managed .Success is a reward to the entrepreneurs in the effort to handle the challenge well. Success is a passion for entrepreneur and more effort into managing a business.
We can classify the challenges into 5 classes: Economic Challenges, Political Challenges, Social-Cultural Challenges, Technological challenges, physical challenges.
Economic challenges
Economic challenge is a challenge that is often given attention by many businesses.
When good economic conditions, business will be developed and constantly evolving.
When the economic slowdown, the business will be slow and declining profits resulting in some companies into bankruptcy. Economic includes factors that affect purchasing power and consumer spending patterns. A country with open economy will create huge market opportunities, and for some countries that practice subsistence economy, the market offers little opportunity for the market.
These two types of markets have purchasing power and consumer buying patterns are very different.
For example, the crisis of economic downturn that occurred in 2009, has led some companies that nearly went bankrupt companies such as AIG Company and General Motors Company in need of financial aid the United States. Newspaper also reported that as many as 140,000 workers may be laid off in 2009 if the economic downturn remains ongoing. Therefore, the economy can be said is a challenge for the entrepreneur to run a business.
Political and Legislation Challenges
Political and legal challenges include laws and regulations that mostly restrict activity business. Law is factors that affect the political environment of business systems. To create healthy competition and protect consumers and to protect society and the environment, the government formulates laws and regulations to ensure that all merchants comply with the law and responsibility. The enforcement is carried out by the government such as the pricing of controlled goods, wages and environmental protection work. Sometimes, these controls will lead to entrepreneurs unable to reap maximum profit. Hence, an entrepreneur must understand the politics and law of a country deeply
so that decisions and actions taken will not harm the company.
Technology Challenges
Technological referring to the new creation generated by the research. Innovation occurs when a better method is found from the research conducted. Technology cause long-term impact on lifestyles, consumption patterns and public economy.
For example computers are an innovation that is always changing. Initially, computers used to replace typewriters and improve productivity through information management. Now, computers have been diversified so that it can be used as a compact disc player.
Discovery of new technology can cause the following changes:
creating a new industry
Eliminate the existing industry. For example the use of computer replacing typewriter cause Smith Corona Corp. into bankruptcy.
Stimulating markets and industries that are not associated with new technology.
Technological advances lead to users requesting better quality product.
By the research and development in technology is important for entrepreneurs to produce products that meet consumer need.
Socio-cultural challenges
Socio-cultural is a combined set of beliefs, customs, practices, and attitudes in a group of people who handed down from one generation to another generation. Verily the people have a lot of beliefs and values. Still beliefs and values that form the basis of a society is always handed down to children by their parents since they birth. Therefore, businesses that want to penetrate a market must first know the culture of the place as a place of cultural population will affect the life style, how to buy and their thinking. Still with the entry of foreign cultures and the advancement of the country causing the basic beliefs also change. Example, watching television, videos, movies, clothes and lifestyle is the effect from foreign culture.
