Essays on Scholarship

A Response to Steven Vogel "Grades and Money”

In the essay "Grades and Money,” Steven Vogel presents to the reader, the relationship that exists between money and grades. He argues that students are only interested in getting good grades rather than learning. He says that most of the students have created a direct relationship between grades and money. They believe that good grades create opportunities to get more money than poor grades. Vogel successfully directs the value of education from the importance studying to that of the relationship that exists between good grades and making money. It is to this regard that students strive to get good Continue reading...

Since the National Collegiate Athletic Association, also known as the NCAA, already extends scholarships and funds to pay for tuition, fees, room and board, and other allowable expenses, the NCAA should continue not to pay the student athletes who participate in athletics. College sports are called college sports because athletes that are in the NCAA are students and not professionals. Just like any other job you go to college to hone your skills and advance them for the future. The advantages student athletes receive from the NCAA are more than generous. According to the “National Collegiate Athletic Association” (ncaa.org), Continue reading...

Some prefer studying personal satisfaction or pursue a higher degree in other courses that are in the nursing field to Continue reading...

Paying college athletes is one of much debated issues of current times. There are a number of people who believe that paying college students for playing games is not justified. There are various aspects of the issue which affects students, schools and the American society in a larger context. College athletes who bring in the most attraction getting paid would cause problems to those athletes who don’t bring in the most attraction. If they are getting paid should they still get a scholarship to attend college, and would it be right for them to get a profit for Continue reading...

Inside myself, I have always known that one day I will be a pilot. So far, life revealed to me other sides, which I fully embraced while working as a technician, a transportation operator, a nurse or a managerial postal clerk. An Eastern philosophy states that the universe responds to people’s desires and wishes, but in its own time. While I took everything life had to offer me so far, I know that this is my moment to follow my dream. Because I had to support myself and my family, I could not dedicate financial resources to my Continue reading...

“What political forces are involved in the Presidential election?” – The Party System In order to best understand the political forces involved in a presidential election, it is necessary to delve into the intricacies of the American political party system, and how these forces interrelate. Political parties essentially exist as a means to an end for politicians, who use them as a vehicle to advance their own agendas; parties are not created in a vacuum, but instead happen as a result of these politicians’ drives and goals (Aldrich 4). The primary parties involved in American presidential elections are the Democratic Continue reading...

It had been two weeks after the death of my father when my mother delivered news that High School completion results at Ibn Al Khaldoun School in Manfuha, Riyadh were out and I had performed well.

Over the years there have been numerous debates in regards paying college athletes for the money they bring to their colleges, due to their athletic greatness. Over time, what started as simple competitions organized by students, has become an entire enterprise that strives to provide sports entertainment, in return -of course- for increased revenue. Students used to go to school to get educated and only took part in the aforementioned competitions as a leisure activity. Now, it seems that things have changed and they attend big and popular universities mainly to participate in sports, dedicate almost all their time Continue reading...

The cost of education has been gradually rising over the years, making it quite difficult for financially disadvantaged individuals to access education. Different bodies such as academic institutions, governments, non-governmental organizations, and even individuals have come up to help these students by offering scholarships. However, not all the students who need this kind of assistance actually succeed in getting it, owing there too many candidates for these scholarships among potential students every year. In addition, there are those who are neither aware of the existence of these grants nor of the process of applying for them. This has led Continue reading...

Academic integrity, commonly known as academic honesty, refers to commitment even in the face of struggle to the five vital virtues of trust, honesty, respect, responsibility, and fairness. It is from these values that behavioral principles flow. These principles of behavior enable academic communities in translation of ideals into actions.
Ethical theories enable us to contemplate issues and make rational decisions about the proper action to take. They assist us to be moral agents with a conscience by pointing out one's duties in such occasions. These theories also guide the choices we make in particular cases. Examples of these Continue reading...

One morning after I had been working at Accenture for several years, an e-mail with the title “Technopia” was sitting in my inbox. I opened it with curiosity. It said the company was holding a competition for employees from all around India, to see who could come up with the best innovative idea, application, or game on a Windows Platform. I had done some touch-screen programing using Windows Phone 7 Game Programming, and knew I could develop a game that would make an excellent submission.

When talking about such a great opportunity, as a scholarship for $1000 being given to you for something useful, I would definitely invest this money into myself. What I actually mean by this is that I would spend this money for learning or developing my skills in the field that I am really passionate about. And learning about small business management, website design, and marketing is my passion, as in future I want to be running my own website design/marketing company.
If such a wonderful chance is given to me, I will partially pay for my formal education right Continue reading...

Introduction

People rely on what is seen, the visual aspect of this world to enhance the process of learning. Ralph Ellison the author of this wonderful work persuasively notes that this is just but a dangerous habit. The book “Invisible Man” is one of those wonderful American books that have challenged many readers ever since it was released in 1952. The novel addresses social and intellectual issues that African Americans were going through during the early periods of the 20th century. Some of those challenges includes; racism and poor relationship between the blacks and the whites, the black nationalism among Continue reading...

Richard. C Richardson Jr. in his paper Helping first-generation minority students achieve degrees Richardson drew his conclusions the thesis that helping first-generation minority students achieve degrees “require nontraditional strategies.” (Richardson, 3). This agrees with James. A Larimore’s research that financial aid and scholarships are needed as a broad strategy to retain Native American student enrollment. The benefits have been demonstrated, but the process is important in order for potential students can access the benefits of academic aid. (Larimore, 2) This various on factors of tribe affiliated with, organization giving the aid, institution and generational affiliation with a specific Continue reading...

Each one of us who has any ambition at all has at least some idea of what we intend to do with our life – who we want to be.

As time has passed and I have gained further knowledge about my chosen field, my objectives have become more sharply defined, more focused. I love studying anything and everything associated with radiology and I am now certain beyond any doubt that my goal is to Continue reading...

Introduction.

In the past few years the debate on need and consequences of paying college students has yielded no substantial recommendations. In the modern society, everyone including college students is looking forward to have as many means of making money as possible. The issue of paying college students, however, creates controversy on educational value, and the future of such students. Colleges provide a vital and invaluable service to communities. Education cannot be valued against anything provided in colleges (Grubb 2009, pp 84).
Some argue that education is the key to prosperity, and, therefore, to boost the motivation of learners, they Continue reading...

The King Abdullah Scholarship Program

When I decided to travel abroad, my first choice was Canada. I chose Canada because besides enjoying my vacation, I would study English while discovering the Canadian culture. I intended to spend only four months in Canada because I thought that was enough time to discover the Canadian culture, learning English, and enjoy my vacation. However, when I arrived in Canada, It dawned to me that there is so much to learn about the Canadian culture. In addition, to most Canadians, their education is their first priority. For these reasons, I changed my mind and decided to start with Continue reading...

Americans, as a whole, are tempted to oversimplify matters, especially when it comes to issues of philosophy and religion. Before Western religions came to America, there were many complex rituals that were taken to heart by Catholics and Protestants - strict adherence to Lent, long and dedicated studies of the Bible and its teachings, and more. However, with the religious movements in America, there seems to be a lowering of standards as to what constitutes true religious and philosophical thinking. This oversimplification leads to a relaxed notion of how much critical thinking and scholarship goes into religion and philosophy, Continue reading...

Quality teaching is the number one point in this first case. Teachers, due to lack of financial and extra resources of their schools, are compromised in terms of their quality teaching time and the related functions associated to teaching (advising, checking of research reports, etc.). They also move from one department to another, shifting the required teaching and administrative duties expected from them. They are expected to be “jacks of all trades” inside the schools. They have no relievers. However, their dedication does not actually guarantee their additional incentives or any other forms of motivation. This is why there Continue reading...

In religious study, the line between priest and prophet can often become somewhat blurred. It can be quite difficult to discern exactly what constitutes a priest or prophet, and what ultimate role they have in the fellowship and service of the church. From the days of Israel, prophets have been said and seen to bring people the word of God through direct communication with Him, while priests have to interpret his word, bring people to God, and advise them through the careful study and scholarship that they have endured. Priests and prophets alike have very unique and specific roles Continue reading...

A Personal Statement Demonstrating an Interest in Biochemistry

I have had a long-term dream of becoming a biochemist or a molecular biologist someday. I imagined myself, spending all my life doing genetic sequencing of DNA in research to discover the cure of various diseases prevalent in the world in my days. As if it was a natural conspiracy, my admission in college coincided with this dream when I was admitted in the faculty of biological science for a principal in biochemistry. My truest motivation for a place in this field of comes from the desire to contribute in the research for the cure of HIV and cancer. Continue reading...

Summary of “A Place to See and Be Seen”

In his article “A Place to See and Be Seen (and Learn a Little, Too),” Scott Carlson uses the renovation of the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library at Ohio State University to raise interesting questions about the necessity for libraries in an increasingly interconnected world. First, he describes the loveliness of the open glass and chrome architecture, all based around a central tower, and denotes the importance of the physical library itself as a connecting point for many students. The renovation is an ambitious and extensive one, placing a great Continue reading...

I graduated with a GPA that was not good staring at. It all started in the first quarter when I used to get grades that were not any good at all. Yes, I knew that I had to do something worthwhile with my life, and further knew that getting such awful grades would never serve me with a platform to do the ‘something good’ that I had never given a serious thought. My dad warned me a thousand and one times about my lack of seriousness in school work, all Continue reading...

I clearly remember the very moment I realized how I would like to change my life to; the moment, which not only shocked me, but made me realize that my family is the most important thing I have; the moment when I realized that the life of my son was at stake. It happened in the middle of the night, when my deep and quiet sleep was interrupted by the tender but at the same time concerned voice of my son. He shocked my body lightly as he whispered these heart wrenching words: "Wake up!! Wake up! Something is Continue reading...

Annotated Bibliography for Saudi Students Studying Abroad

Study Abroad and Intellectual Development
Cressey, W. W. (2004). Guide to studying abroad. New York: Random House.
The interesting questions I will research are how studying abroad will contribute to a Saudi Arabia’s industry, education, and economy. According to Cressey’s book “Guide to studying abroad” (2004), it is actually recommended to study abroad while in university as this not only opens students eyes to life overseas but also provides job networking opportunities that are not available in one’s home country. Cressey also comments that studying abroad can also be a life changing experience and that students Continue reading...

Building Relations in Higher Education Leadership Introduction The contemporary society is quite dynamic and highly interconnected. Consequently, there has been an increased need for interdependence and collaboration and every level of leadership. One individual cannot solve all the challenges facing an institution or an organization. Accordingly, an effective leader is one who promotes collaborative decision making rather than the individual intuition approach. One of the major characteristics of an effective leader is the ability to maintain collaborative relationships with all stakeholders. Collaboration comes with overwhelming benefits such as being a warranty of success. School leaders of higher education institutions Continue reading...
