- [00:00:15.580]Hello everyone.
- [00:00:16.413]My name is Viangri Sontay or Vi for short,
- [00:00:18.720]and I'm a prospective senior majoring
- [00:00:20.210]in Child, Youth and family Studies.
- [00:00:22.000]I'm originally from Greeley, Colorado,
- [00:00:23.930]but have lived almost half my life here in Nebraska.
- [00:00:27.370]Either way no matter where I'm from
- [00:00:28.835]college is an investment.
- [00:00:30.340]From books, housing, dining, tuition to parking,
- [00:00:33.000]it can all add up very quickly.
- [00:00:35.030]Fortunately, there are many scholarships
- [00:00:36.550]and grants out there to help us with this.
- [00:00:38.430]For me, I managed to be part
- [00:00:39.840]of the Nebraska College Preparatory Academy
- [00:00:41.770]and obtained other scholarships on the side
- [00:00:43.640]to help me graduate debt free.
- [00:00:45.660]This is great and all but no means it says free money.
- [00:00:48.230]Many scholarships have requirements that I have to maintain
- [00:00:50.292]in order to keep receiving the scholarships.
- [00:00:52.750]From my NCPA scholarship, I have to maintain a 2.75 GPA
- [00:00:56.150]or higher every semester.
- [00:00:57.840]For my honors scholarship,
- [00:00:58.920]I have to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher,
- [00:01:01.870]attended workshops and earn honors credit.
- [00:01:04.660]For other scholarships,
- [00:01:05.560]I have to write thank you letters to my donors
- [00:01:07.210]to tell them how much I appreciate their generosity.
- [00:01:09.461]All of these requirements
- [00:01:10.770]which were told to me as soon as I got to campus,
- [00:01:12.750]either in person or via email,
- [00:01:14.590]but I can also go to their websites, ask my advisor
- [00:01:17.510]or ask according staff for any changes or updates.
- [00:01:21.150]I have to make sure I also file for FAFSA every year
- [00:01:23.970]to make sure I'm eligible for financial aid.
- [00:01:26.580]So, to sum it up,
- [00:01:27.413]while there are many opportunities
- [00:01:28.530]out there for scholarships,
- [00:01:29.510]it is up to you to be academically responsible
- [00:01:31.920]to make sure you can continue to
- [00:01:33.430]renew and receive your scholarships.
- [00:01:35.570]But that being said, continue to scout
- [00:01:37.610]for scholarships out there because they will come in handy.
