Scholarships

 Scholarships have been seen as “free money” to spend on things while you chill in college, but that is not what scholarships should be they should be “free money” that helps you achieve the career that you are looking to do in your life. The money you gain from these scholarships are based on many qualities that a person may possess such as a person’s grade point average, if they play a sport that can transfer over into a sport that a college provides, or something as simple as writing a birthday card to a homeless child. These scholarships can help people gain money to get into college whether you want to be a doctor, NFL player or a social worker.

Scholarships can also help people gain jobs after they have left college. I know this sounds weird, but as someone gains scholarships they help build a portfolio for that person. With this portfolio a person can show how dedicated to getting into the field that they are looking to spend their life in. Scholarships such as the Presidential scholarship displays to an employer that the person who gained this scholarship is a hardworking and very intelligent person that is most likely going to help the business. Other scholarships such as the scholarship that a person gains if they write a birthday card for a homeless person might inform an employer that that person is a nice person that cares for others.

Although scholarships do not have to be all of these things, they do help a person that is looking to go to college, and make themselves a career.
