Dream Valley Landscaping (DVL) is giving back to the community by providing financial assistance to active college students who are pursuing their passions through higher education and career plans.

Many students are devoted to their studies and to attaining their degrees but are hindered by the high costs of tuition. When college becomes financially out of reach, students lose access to many career opportunities as jobs increasingly require college degrees.

This scholarship seeks to support students who are pursuing higher education so they can complete their degrees and achieve their career goals.

Any undergraduate student with passing grades may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, tell us about yourself, how this scholarship will help you, what your goals are, how you have contributed to your community, a time when you failed, and what your greatest strengths are.

My name is Madison Guerrero, I am 19 years old, a college sophomore at Los Angeles Valley College I am studying nursing and play collegiate basketball. This scholarship would immensely help me, although I am blessed to have a home I am not fortunate to have that much assistance. In this last year my father suffered cuts in his hours at work and my mother had a severe pay cut at her job as well so this year was harder than others. I choose to go to community college to make it easier on my parents and myself, however now both my brother and I will be in college together at the same time, him an incoming freshman and me a junior. I want to become a CRNA, since this requires additional school I knew going to a Community college would allow me two year of free education, then transfer to get my degree and move on to my specialty without having suffered much debt. To help my community I volunteered at a non-profit organization Unidas pro Ella, it is an organization that is dedicated to helping young girls in their basketball journey but Las their self journey in learning confidence and how to love themselves. We help girls from the youngest age possible until senior year of high school, after that the college students become the teachers. A time I failed was my sophomore year of high school, it wasn't on a test or on a project, it wasn't even on my team I failed myself. My sophomore year of high school I was playing basketball, and the coach was demeaning towards me, but I felt so proud to be on varsity on a winning team so I stated silent. I failed myself because I failed to speak up, it wasn't until my parents could visibly see that I no longer loved basketball but resented it, I hated going to practice because I just new I'd be the target of my coach that practice and if I wasn't a target I wasn't even a person on the court but rather just a drag. However, I would say by biggest strengths are my adaptability and my perseverance. No matter how hard it gets I find just a little more I can give to keep telling me I can do it. I never give up, I get knocked down and I get up and I attempt it all over again. I know that I can do it, to me it is just a matter of how and when, nothing is impossible it is just a persons willingness to keep going no matter how hard it gets. This is my biggest strength.
