C. Edwards     �

This scholarship will be a significant contribution to my educational experience as it will relieve some of the tension associated with the overwhelming expense of today’s higher education institutions.  Every scholarship award and gift of financial aid I receive allows me to focus that much more of my attention towards my academic endeavors – and less on the question of, “Will I be able to afford my education?”

 

I am currently funding the majority of my college expenses through various student loans which will have a significant impact on my life immediately after graduation.  Although this award will be applied directly to my tuition expense at XXXX University, the American Patriot Freedom Scholarship will also be a tremendous indirect benefit when the time comes to repay the loans that allowed me to pursue my professional ambitions.

 

As I begin the first leg of my journey towards becoming a veterinarian, I will use my freshman year to build a solid foundation in Clemson’s challenging undergraduate program of Animal and Veterinary Sciences.  I expect to graduate from their program with a resume that will assist me with entry into one of the premier Veterinary Schools in the southeast, from which I will establish my career as a local veterinarian in the Charleston area

T. Hall               �

First of all, I would like to say that I am honored and grateful to be one of the 2008 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship award recipients.  This award is truly a Godsend.

 

After a lengthy battle with breast cancer, my mother passed away this year.  Due to the extensive medical bills, our family had to liquidate a large amount of the family’s assets; so the proposition of attending college was looking very bleak.  However, your kindness and the generosity of your wonderful sponsor “Sara’s Hope” changed this for me.  My mother placed a high value on education and made me promise that no matter what, I would pursue my college degree.  Your scholarship will help me keep this promise.

 

My dad served in the Vietnam War and is proud that his military service provided me with this opportunity.  I wish you could have seen his face when we saw my name on the list of awardees.

 

I promise that I will make the most of the opportunity.  Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

  

M. Impallaria �

The generosity of Homefront America and the Sara’s Hope Foundation has helped my family and me tremendously.  My parents sacrificed to send my brothers and me to private school, giving up many needed items to pay for our education.  They are still assisting with my current college education. 

 

By awarding me this scholarship, I am able to help my parents by reducing the financial burden they have borne supporting my education.

 

After college I plan to attend graduate school so I can attain the knowledge I need to make my mark in this world as I venture out to help change the lives of others for the better, as you have done for me.

 

Again, thank you so much for giving my family and me a better tomorrow.

 

J. Jones       �

It is with extreme gratitude and appreciation that I accept this scholarship.  Last year I was grateful to have received this scholarship, and I am humbled by receiving it for a second year.  It is no secret that post-secondary education is an expensive ordeal.  Tuition is costly, but when adding in the cost of room and board, books, and other necessary fees to make the year successful and enjoyable; college can be painful to the pockets.  This scholarship will help to alleviate those additive costs.

 

This scholarship will help me to succeed at XXXX College as well as help to prepare me for life after college.  Upon graduating with a bachelor's degree, I plan to continue on to get my Master's in education.  I would then like to begin working in the public school system as an early education teacher, and then have plan to begin my own private childcare franchise.

 

A. Koyle         �

I am extremely grateful that I was chosen to receive the 2008 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship.  I will use this scholarship to achieve my educational aspirations and relieve my parents of at least part of their financial burden by utilizing this gift to purchase my books and my meal plan.  With this scholarship, I will earn my Bachelor of Arts degree in English and go on to serve proudly as an officer in the United States Army.  Thank you so much for your assistance in making my dreams a reality

 

L. Larres     �

I am grateful for the scholarship award for the 2008-2009 school year from Homefront America, Inc. and the Sara’s Hope Foundation.  These monies will make it possible for me to achieve my dream of pursuing a higher education and serving my community by empowering pet owners to keep their animals healthy.  I already feel more secure knowing that the financial assistance I have received for my college expenses will allow me to more fully concentrate on my studies and other university activities.

My career plans are to obtain my Computer Engineer degree and establish a successful computer business.  I have a desire to research, design, develop and test hardware, and supervise its manufacture and installation.

 

My goals are to create and implement new advanced computer chips, circuit boards, modems and printers that will enhance technology throughout the world.

 

This scholarship will allow me to pursue these goals.

 

C. McGlamery �

The American Patriot Freedom scholarship will be applied to help pay for tuition (which always seems to be going up) and books (especially as I am beginning my foreign language sequence) and will allow me to focus on my studies without having to worry about whether there will be money for my tuition next quarter. Between classes, work (up to 30hrs a week), and extra-curricular activities (I’m an intramural captain, hall council executive, and club officer) it is nice to know that tuition will be taken care of, at least for a little while. The awards I have received the last few years have been a tremendous help and as I begin to close in on the home stretch of my collegiate career any assistance that allows me to better focus on my studies is a tremendous aid.  I would like to thank you again for all that you have done for me and others like me around the services

 

L. Miller         �

This scholarship award will be a great help to me to achieve my educational goals.  First to gain a degree in politics, possibly combined with international relations. 

 

My current remaining three-year course will hopefully broaden my perspective of the world and its workings, and will give me the knowledge I will need to continuously keep track of the global political world.

 

After university graduation, I plan to move on to a teaching course, to teach politics to the Sr. High levels at a public school.

N. Myers         �

I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to Homefront America and the Sara's Hope Foundation for this generous contribution to my college education.  As I began my college search, I was overwhelmed by the high cost of a college education and was afraid I would have to compromise on my goals.

 

But I was told to follow my dreams, apply for the schools that have the best chance of getting me there and pursue scholarship opportunities.  Awards like the American Patriot Freedom Scholarship have renewed my belief that anything is possible if you dream big.

 

A. Pickett        �

I would like to extend a thank-you to Homefront America for this scholarship.  This will help me continue on my path of finishing college and continuing on to law school, where I hope to be able to help others just as you have so graciously done for me.

 

You have shown me that the military families are important, and have recognized the sacrifices they make on a daily basis.

 

Thank you for helping me to remember that!

 

J. Sances         �

I want to thank you for selecting my essay as one of the winners for this year's American Patriot Freedom Scholarship Awards.  This scholarship will go directly to help fund my last semester of undergraduate education.  As an out-of-state resident, every little bit helps, and this scholarship is a huge contribution.

 

I will receive my bachelor's degree in psychology.  Currently I work in a child development laboratory on campus, and I plan to continue on to graduate school where I plan on obtaining my doctorate and continuing my work helping children.

 

J. Womack           �

The American Patriot Freedom Scholarship has been such a blessing.

M. Barnes     �

I am extremely grateful to the Sara's Hope Foundation and Homefront America for making it possible to receive such scholarship awards that do so much to help pay for an essential secondary education. I am dedicated to being the kind of student who is worthy of such assistance.”

 

Growing up in a large family that was both military and ministerial taught me many valuable lessons, including deep appreciation for assistance with essential resources. It also meant I moved a lot, and came into contact with many different people who I loved to study and observe just to learn from their differences. Now, with the help of scholarships, I am going to university to study Anthropology; later I intend to further my education with a higher degree in Linguistics. I believe communication is the key to our understanding one another, and my passion for languages comes not only with a love for words, but for the thoughts and motivations behind them. It is my goal to someday use my education and zeal to show people how to understand each other on a global scale.

J. Castro               �

With this scholarship, not only will I be able to pay for tuition, books, lab fees and other costs, but I will be able to make a difference in the world as I pursue my dream of becoming a research biologist.  I want to find a cure for diseases, discover the unseen, and explore nature’s beauty to see how we can benefit from it.

 

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to further my education.

 

J. Hamel  � 

I am thrilled to have received this scholarship for the 2007-2008 school year.  It helps out in tremendous ways for me and my family!  I have a twin sister who is also enrolled full time in college.  This scholarship helps out because my parents do not have to worry about how they are going to put two kids through college!  The scholarship will be a blessing to me and my family because we will be able to concentrate on school.  I will be able to put this towards my tuition and some books as well.  I thoroughly appreciate this.

 

T. Hansen   �

This scholarship will be of great assistance to me in my goal of attaining a college degree.  It is wonderful that there are people like those of Homefront America's organization who support a student's efforts to excel.  I will work hard to make sure that you feel you have made a wise decision in selecting me as one of your recipients.

 

 

 

J. Jones      �

I want to begin with saying once more. “THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU” for awarding me the scholarship.  Words could never express how much it means to me as I begin my post-secondary education journey.

 

In less than two months I will be embarking on a new education voyage: College.  I cannot wait to begin attending XXXX this fall.  I’ve already attended Freshmen Orientation and registered for my classes as a Liberal Studies: Elementary Education major.  When I took the college placement test for Spanish, I placed into Spanish 320.  Testing so high will allow me to complete my Spanish minor by the end of my sophomore year.  Should funds allow, I plan to study abroad in Spain next year also.

 

Though I’m looking forward to my upcoming years in college, I’m anticipating even more my post-college career.  Upon graduating with a degree in Elementary Education and a double-minor in Spanish and Business, I would like to be a Kindergarten teacher for a minimum of 5 years to gain experience in the field.  During this time, I plan to hone my skills in business/accounting, the Spanish language, and graphics/advertising.  These skills will be of good use when I start my own business.  Six to seven years after graduating, I will have my own business which will expand to become a nation-wide franchise of child development centers.

 

I honestly cannot wait to see what the future holds in store for me.  So with that being said, I have to say “thank you” once more for selecting me for your scholarship.

 

A. Kaaihue    �

Once again, I would like to thank you and the scholarship committee for selecting me as one of the 2007 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship Award recipients.  I am extremely grateful to receive this scholarship and know it will help me to reach my personal and professional goals in life.  I fully understand it is a considerable investment.  I will not disappoint.  I will work hard and apply myself.

 

The funds will be used toward a quality post-secondary education at XXXX University.  I expect the experience and knowledge I receive in college will better prepare me for the life that I plan to lead.  Higher education is important to my future because it will assist me in establishing my career goals and contribute to my success, maturity and development.  I addition, it will provide me with a broader range of career opportunities and the skills necessary to make a valuable contribution to society.

 

Thank you again for your generosity,

 

C. McGlamery � 

The scholarship I received in 2006 helped me tremendously, and the one I will be receiving for this school year, will also help in a big way as I continue my experience here at XXXX University. The scholarships have allowed me to focus primarily on my studies without having to worry about whether there will be money for my tuition next quarter. This freedom has given me the opportunity to branch out and truly experience all of the possibilities that college has to offer. Last years award was a tremendous boost and relieved a heavy burden from me and my family, and I feel that this years award will help push me that much closer to achieving my full potential. I would like to thank you again for all that you have done for me and others like me around the services.

Thank you so much for your help.  I will always appreciate it.

 

A. Salafia     �

First of all I would like to thank you for choosing me to receive this scholarship.  I greatly appreciate the reward.  This scholarship means a great deal to me because it means that it will pay off the rest of my college bill.  I had always dream to get a full-ride scholarship for sports and when that did not happen I realized how much foundations like yours can help me.  Once again I am very grateful for being the recipient of this scholarship.

Thank you again for helping me to not only obtain a great education, but most of all for helping my dreams come true.

 

D. Steiner       �

I am delighted to have been awarded the 2007 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship Award.  It truly means a lot to me, as I feel that I work very hard for my success, and being recognized in such a fashion is a wonderful reward for my effort.  My family is very patriotic and both my father and one of my grandfathers were career Navy pilots.  In fact, I have also been selected for a four-year Navy Option NROTC scholarship, so that I too may serve.

 

My award will be applied to my college room and board, as I have been selected for a four-year Navy Option NROTC scholarship, which will cover my tuition, books and some fees, but not my room and board.  Also, I want to fund as much of my own education as possible as my parents are near retirement and I do not want to jeopardize their future well-being by asking for their support.  In addition, I believe in paying my own way and this award permits me to do significantly more toward pursuing that goal of financial independence.

 

C. McGlamery �

I would like to thank you for all that you have done for me and others like me.  The scholarship was a tremendous boost and relief for me and my family.  It allowed me to focus primarily on my studies without having to worry whether there would be enough money for next quarter’s tuition.  This freedom gave me the opportunity to branch out and truly experience all that college has to offer.

Receiving this $1,000 scholarship is very much appreciated and definitely will help me with my college expenses.  It is very important that the foundation knows this scholarship award will be helping me out so much and how honored I am to have been one of the 20 selected.   

 

I am currently taking business general courses and am not totally decided on my major yet, but am thinking business - sales and marketing.   I really like XXXX University and am the first in the family to attend a 4-year college.

I am a scholarship awardee from your 2006 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship.  I would like you to know this scholarship has been a blessing for me.  It has allowed me to focus less on the financial needs of college and more on the educational benefits of college. I thank you and the program so much for supporting my college career.

I truly appreciated receiving the Homefront America Scholarship! It played an irreplaceable role in my dream of becoming a high school teacher. The ability to pursue higher education is a blessing. Learning to walk alongside teenagers, to enable them to bring joy in our world, uplifts my spirit.

The scholarship that I received from your institution has aided me greatly at Sewanee, The University XXXX. Sewanee is a small, yet very expensive school, and the scholarship money has helped me to compensate for the cost of books and room and board. The fact that the scholarship is a military scholarship is also great for military kids overseas (like I was) who don't have the opportunity to apply for local scholarships. Thanks Homefront America.

I truly appreciate the scholarship that was awarded to me from Homefront America.  I have been able to begin my college career without the worry that many have with “how will I pay for my tuition.”  I am eager to continue classes that will bring me to my goal of a career in Psychology.

 

I also feel very honored to have had my voice heard on what I think is an important topic.  The military has always been good to my family and I am proud to be a part of it.
