Nikita Mashburn
Bio
My life goal is to become a child psychiatrist dedicated to making a transformative impact on children in inpatient psychiatric care. I am deeply committed to advocating for the underrepresented, empowering individuals to overcome adversity, and providing compassionate care to those in need.
Building on my life experiences, I am an exceptional candidate for scholarships because my upbringing in a low-income household instilled in me a relentless work ethic and a profound sense of empathy. These experiences have shaped me into someone who not only values personal growth but is also driven to lift others up. With your support, I will continue to break barriers, champion the needs of vulnerable children, and create lasting change in our communities. Together, we can ensure that every child receives the care and hope they deserve.
To quote Mahatma Gandhi (1919), "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."

Chappell Roan Superfan Scholarship
Chappell Roan's music has been completely transformative to my life and career. I support Chappell Roan both as an artist and a woman in 2024 because she is authentic, true to herself and her values, and she represents womanhood in a powerful yet enchanting way.
Ever since I found out about Chappell Roan, I have been entranced. Not only is her music powerful and moving, but she also represents moving through tough times. With her music, Chappell Roan has given me the hope of becoming a successful woman in today's day and age.
I am excited to watch her grow as an artist and person while growing alongside her. If I had the chance to meet her, I would be eternally grateful for the experience and use it as a core teaching moment.
On top of being an inspiration to women, she also inspires the LGBTQIA+ community to be true to themself and to always stand up for what is right. As a Bisexual woman, I look up to the courage and strength it takes to be a huge part of the LGBTQIA+ community and promote positive lifestyle habits.
Overall, Chappell Roan has made a huge impact on my life. Had I never discovered her or her music, I would not feel as inspired to make a difference in this world, and to help others. Thank you Ms. Chappell Roan for being a huge part of developing who I am and who I will become!
Minecraft Forever Fan Scholarship
While Minecraft offers limitless possibilities, there's always one particular activity or goal that holds a special place in my heart. My favorite aspect of the game is being able to choose what I want my dream world to look like, and all the cute animals that come along with it.
I like to envision it as my alternate reality that I am able to control whatever I want and make it perfect for my vision. Minecraft resonates deeply because it allows me to envision imaginative worlds with limitless possibilities of customization, while also allowing me to express my creative outlook in a healthy and productive way.
As a kindergarten teacher, being able to shut off my brain and play a creative game is the best de-stress technique I have come across. Not only can I be amazingly creative, I can also connect with others for inspiration, helpful tips, and just plain ole fun! I encourage individuals of all ages to try out Minecraft as it can help your multitasking ability, increase creativity, and help calm your body and mind all in one.
Overall, I enjoy Minecraft's ability to connect me with my inner creative child, while also being able to explore exciting worlds and characters. Being able to connect with likeminded individuals is a huge plus for playing Minecraft too!
