SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY

SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY
by Jarrett Robinson



My name is Jarrett Robinson and I am a sophomore majoring in telecommunications at the Pennsylvania State University. After graduating from Penn State my career aspirations are to be a news anchor or a radio show personality. I currently work part-time in the school’s cafeteria to help support myself while in school. This five hundred dollar stipend would supplement my income in order to provide for some essentials such as rent and books; this would enable me to focus more on my studies.
As a freshman I had the opportunity to host my very own radio show while at Cheney University. It was there that I had the opportunity to become exposed to different genres of music and debut the talents of my peers. After that experience, it confirmed my desire to become a television or radio personality. I am confident that a college degree would facilitate my entry into the field of telecommunications. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate this additional financial assistance that will help accomplish my goal.
Upon completion of my studies at Penn State, I will be the first male in my family to graduate from college. In order to make this a reality and not just a dream, I could use any and all financial support. There are a number of obstacles that a young, black male in college must face and I believe that with your prayers and financial support, it will help me overcome these challenges.
