How a Scholarship Can Further Your Education

 There is no limit to your professional growth. The right mindset, opportunities, and work ethic can help you exceed your expectations and develop a positive reputation in your chosen industry.

Yet, you might question if you can achieve your dream career if you have limited finances to fund a degree program. Don’t allow a small thing like money to stand in the way of your professional goals. Find out how a scholarship can further your education.

A Financial Benefit

Many students are deterred from applying for a degree program, as they might not have the finances to fund a course, or they want to avoid student loan debt. However, a scholarship can eliminate the financial pressure, as it will provide students with free money to complete a degree and reach their potential. For instance, there are alumni scholarships at TUW that will provide a guaranteed discount for past students from the institution.

Instead of a student focusing on how they can repay their loans or avoiding a university education altogether, they can dedicate 100% of their time to passing a course with flying colors. 

An Educational Advantage

A scholarship can reduce a student’s likelihood of dropping out of a program, as they will understand that a university has invested money into their future. Also, decreasing a student’s financial worries will stop them from spending many sleepless nights worrying about how they’ll pay for their program. As a result, they will have more time and energy to focus on learning, studying, and networking. 

Various Personal Perks

A scholarship cannot only support a student’s education and reduce their money worries, but it can provide various personal perks. Rather than taking out a part-time job to fund a course, they can focus their time and attention on extra-curricular activities that could enhance their knowledge, skills, and experience.

For example, they could:

The above activities could support a university education, improve university grades, and help a graduate stand out from a crowd of job candidates.

Improved Career Prospects After University

A scholarship cannot only help a student fund a degree program, but it can help them become a more attractive job candidate. As scholarships are often competitive, an employer will view it as a major accomplishment that’s a testament to an applicant’s intelligence, maturity, and skills.

For example, a merit-based scholarship could prove an applicant has outstanding academic, creative, or athletic talents, which are worthy of their investment. For this reason, you must list a scholarship on your resume, as it could help you stand out from other candidates and achieve your dream career following university.

Conclusion

A scholarship can provide a student with many personal, academic, and career advantages. If you don’t have the finances to fund a university education, research your eligibility for the various scholarship programs available for a bachelor’s, master’s degree, or doctorate. It could transform your skills, improve your knowledge, and increase your career prospects.

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
