My father’s recent job loss has placed my family in a difficult financial situation, making the cost of my out-of-state education uncertain. While this is beyond my control, I cannot allow my education to become a burden on my family. Instead, it has strengthened my determination to continue my studies and find a way forward.
I have always been committed to my education, maintaining high academic standards and preparing to transition directly into college after high school. I am determined to continue that momentum and not let circumstances interrupt my academic path.
As a Hispanic female pursuing a degree in computer science, I am motivated to succeed in a field where diversity is still growing. My passion for technology drives me to contribute to innovations that can strengthen and protect my community and beyond. I want to be part of creating meaningful change through technology.
I also hope to become the first college graduate in my family. This achievement would not only shape my future but also ease the financial and emotional burden my family has carried while supporting me. Their belief in me inspires my determination to succeed.
I am actively applying for scholarships and seeking all available resources to fund my education. Receiving this scholarship would allow me to focus fully on my studies without constant financial worry.
Although this has been a challenging time, it has strengthened my resilience and commitment to my goals. With your support, I will continue my education and work toward a successful future in computer science.

Hazel Joy Memorial Scholarship
I was accepted to the University of Nevada, Reno, an opportunity I worked hard to achieve and one that brings me closer to my goal of earning a degree in computer science. However, just as I prepared to begin this journey, my family faced an unexpected hardship. My father lost his job, and with that loss, our ability to support the cost of my out-of-state education became uncertain.
My family is doing everything possible to stay afloat. We are relying on savings to cover basic necessities like food and utilities, but those resources are limited. My mother works for minimum wage, and while she has considered taking out loans, the only options available to us come with extremely high interest rates that could place our family in long-term debt. I cannot allow my education to become a burden that jeopardizes my family’s financial stability.
Without financial assistance, I may have to delay my education or take on full-time work to support my household. This would put me behind in achieving my academic and career goals. I have always been committed to my education, maintaining high academic standards and striving to go directly to college after high school. I want to continue that momentum, not lose it due to circumstances beyond my control.

I am passionate about technology and motivated by the opportunity to contribute to innovations that can strengthen and protect my community, my state, and my country. I know that with the right support, I can excel academically and maintain a strong GPA while fully dedicating myself to my studies.
More importantly, I hope to become the first college graduate in my family. This achievement would not only change my future, but also ease the financial and emotional burden my family has carried in supporting me. They have always believed in my potential, and I want to honor their sacrifices by succeeding.
I am actively applying to scholarships and seeking every available resource to fund my education. Receiving this scholarship would allow me to focus on my studies without the constant worry of my family’s financial situation. It would give me the stability I need to stay on track and achieve my goals.
This has been a challenging time for my family, but it has also strengthened my determination. I am committed to my education, to my future career, and to making a meaningful impact. With your support, I will be able to continue my journey and turn this opportunity into a reality.
Rev. Ethel K. Grinkley Memorial Scholarship
I was accepted to the University of Nevada, Reno, an opportunity I worked hard to achieve and one that brings me closer to my goal of earning a degree in computer science. However, just as I prepared to begin this journey, my family faced an unexpected hardship. My father lost his job, and with that loss, our ability to support the cost of my out-of-state education became uncertain.
My family is doing everything possible to stay afloat. We are relying on savings to cover basic necessities like food and utilities, but those resources are limited. My mother works for minimum wage, and while she has considered taking out loans, the only options available to us come with extremely high interest rates that could place our family in long-term debt. I cannot allow my education to become a burden that jeopardizes my family’s financial stability.
Without financial assistance, I may have to delay my education or take on full-time work to support my household. This would put me behind in achieving my academic and career goals. I have always been committed to my education, maintaining high academic standards and striving to go directly to college after high school. I want to continue that momentum, not lose it due to circumstances beyond my control.
As a Hispanic female pursuing a degree in computer science, I am determined to succeed in a field where diversity is still growing. I am passionate about technology and motivated by the opportunity to contribute to innovations that can strengthen and protect my community, my state, and my country. I know that with the right support, I can excel academically and maintain a strong GPA while fully dedicating myself to my studies.
