College Scholarship Essay

Hi, my name is Stacey Burrell and I currently attending Boston Arts Academy as a Junior theatre major. I believe it’s never too early to start looking at colleges and scholarships. My schools of interest include Juilliard, Colombia, and Dartmouth. I am not the first in my family to go to college but I am apart of the first generation. My parents are from Jamaica and never fully completed their education. I’ve always had to make the most of financial aid and luck. My parents are definitely not rich but we’ve always found ways to pay for what we need. My sister just enrolled at Cornell University almost entirely through financial aid and merit based scholarships. I feel as though I deserve this scholarship because my grades definitely reflect how important education is to me. I plan to major in Theatre Arts and minor in Education.
