I am currently receiving significant financial support to pursue my academic goals through merit-based scholarships. I have been awarded a total of $12,000 per year in scholarships from Miami University, including the RedHawk Excellence Scholarship ($7,000) and the RedHawk Grant ($5,000). In addition, I have earned $7,500 per year in scholarships from Ohio University, consisting of the Ohio Admission Promise ($2,000) and the Ohio Excellence Scholarship ($5,500). If I am selected as a scholarship recipient, I would use the funds directly toward my educational expenses. Im pursuing both a bachelor’s degree and the required state qualifications in order receive my art education license and this involves significant financial commitment, including tuition, fees, textbooks, and materials specific to my field of study. Any additional financial support would help reduce the financial burden on my family and allow me to focus more fully on my academic and professional goals.
