The Importance of Scholarships

Scholarships are very important, yet also diverse. There are many different kinds of scholarships to help students get into schools, such as college. Although this is their most popular use, scholarships are important for other reasons. Scholarships can increase a schools' diversity. If students who have special abilities or features all apply for a scholarship to a college, the campus will be made up of a variety of students. A colleges' popularity can increase as well. If there is an interesting scholarship that many people like and want to apply for, that college will get more publicity. Also, a colleges income could increase. Students are generally more inclined to apply to a college that offers them money, rather than paying for all expenses themselves. Because of this, more students will enroll into a school that offers scholarships, increasing the amount of money that school gets over all.

Admission Requirements

There are several things that I still need to do for acceptance into the collages I want to apply to.
1. Finish High School
2. Take the SAT and ACT
3. Get more letters of recommendation
4. Raise my GPA and Rank
5. Apply to the collages
I will have all of these tasks completed by 2016 graduation of next year.
Academically, I am where I need to be, but I would like to be a little higher.
These collages may be the ones for me, but I will not really know until I determine what I want to do with the rest of my life.

I college worth it in the U.S.?

A college degree is very important today in society. Jobs are really only given to those with the most degrees and college experience. I, personally, am interested in building a career for my self, and having a job that I want. It is going to be very hard to do that if I do not go to college and gain the experience. It is true that college generally takes a lot of time, effort, and money but that is what will be expected of you at a good job. It is definitely worth it to invest all of one's resources because college plays a HUGE role in one's life. I think that it would be much better if jobs took those with the most experience on the particular job, rather than the person with the best degree. 

The other country I chose to study was Australia, and their school system is very similar to ours in the U.S. The opportunities are not much different, and the schools seem to teach the same material. The only notably different aspect about the schools and their grade levels is that they are called by different names. other than that the opportunities are fairly similar.
