I am a great candidate for a scholarship because I do not believe in wasting education. I plan on using my education to not only further the lives of me and my loved ones but to also invest in my community and my city so that one day my hometown of St. Louis isn’t just looked at as a ghetto but a place where people can go to pursue the things they love. I want St. Louis to be an economic hub like other cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta and I feel that furthering my education will help grant me the tools to do so.
