Im writing to report that I have had two official rejections from scholarships. I was rejected from the SR Education Group's Women's Scholarship as well as another scholarship for a risk management company. Although getting rejected is never fun, the rejection from the risk management company honestly did not bother me or suprise me. I have applied to so many scholarships that I actually was not aware that I had even applied to this company.
Although I was unaware of the second scholarship I got rejected from, I find myself being very disappointed that I was rejected from a scholarship for women. Many of the women who applied and who were finalist were in just as dire circumstances as myself but, it seems to me that there are certain circumstances that win out over others. What I mean by this is that, although my mom many be homeless and I am supporting her, that is not enough for me to need money in comparison to others. Many of the women who win are younger than me or are going back to school and have children. Because I could never imagine going to school full-time while having children, I applaud women who do. This just makes me ask: how many adverse events do I have to experience before I will be chosen for scholarships?
I have any more scholarships to hear from and know that I will at least get one based on the amount that I have applied to. I hope that, although potentially discouraging, this message goes to women in dire circumstances and shows them that as long as they put effort toward their financial aid search, they will eventually find help somewhere.
