The Dirk Derrick Scholarship has a brief submission process, and applicants will be judged on their ability to convey the lasting effect an auto accident has had on their life as well as their journey to overcome those challenges. Applicants may apply via the Google Form below.

Be The First One Scholarship

Deadline: May 15, 2022-Amount of scholarship-$1,000 (2)

As a part of my company and passion project, Won Day, I am committed to inspiring students to incorporate goal setting into their lives and establish a foundation for sustained success. I grew up in a household that was subjected to a long-standing generational curse of alcoholism plus mental and emotional abuse, and I personally understand how others that grew up in similar households can unintentionally become the next one to carry that torch.

It is a part of my personal mission to help our youth steer away from becoming the next one to carry the torch of a generational curse, and be the first one to break it.

That is why I have established the Be The First One Scholarship. I want to support at least two graduating seniors in South Carolina this year who have been impacted by a generational curse in their household and that are doing something to change it. I understand that many of these students likely do not have college funds waiting for them, as I did not when it came time to attend The Citadel. Any bit counts.

There are no GPA requirements, simply share your story and show that you have been accepted into a college and / or are pursuing a business and can provide proof of a LLC.

 

Application Deadline - 5/15/2022

About

The Undergraduate Scholarship Program is a financial needs-based initiative that offers undergraduate students an unmatched experience in a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. Undergraduate students, serving as scholarship recipients with CIA, attend an accredited college/university on a full-time basis and work during summer breaks at the Agency. While working at CIA, you will be exposed to real intelligence challenges while performing meaningful work that relates to your college major. An IT major, for example, might be given increasingly complex projects involving sophisticated computer systems. An engineering major might help produce a piece of state-of-the-art equipment. A finance major could be involved in developing and analyzing budgets for a worldwide operation, while a foreign language major might be instrumental in translating documents for U.S. policymakers. An international relations major might brief a senior policymaker and, as a final example, a human resources major could have the opportunity to develop and implement personnel policies and procedures.

Because CIA invests in scholarship recipients, accepting an offer means continued employment with the Agency for a specified timeframe. You are required to work at the Agency after college graduation for a period equal to 1.5 times the length of the college sponsorship you received from CIA. Students who leave earlier are required to reimburse the U.S. Government for their tuition. All positions require relocation to the Washington, DC area during summer work tours.

Strong Work Ethic Scholarship

Deadline: July 31, 2023-Amount of scholarship $1,000

At BK Law Group, we believe in the importance of having a strong work ethic. Good things don’t happen by accident. Hard work, dedication, and focus create the best results! While this can take time, delayed gratification can truly be the most rewarding feeling in the end! Today, people often seek to finish something or see results as fast as possible. However, that usually won’t lead to the best feasible outcome. If you aren’t willing to stay disciplined and put in the work needed to fully see a project through, you can’t expect it to be at its fullest potential. Hard work doesn’t come easily. It is a product of forming good habits and having determination.

That’s why BK Law Group is thrilled to announce their 2023 Strong Work Ethic Scholarship! We want to hear from you about a specific time in your life where you utilized your strong work ethic. Tell us what the task was, how you stayed motivated, and what the outcome was. Tell us how the results would have been different had you not persevered through the entire task to see it to its completion. What motivated you to give 110%? We can’t wait to hear your story and about the hard work you’ve put into something that’s important to you! The winner will receive $1,000 to put toward their education!

Eligibility

A) The 2023 Strong Work Ethic scholarship is open to any current high school senior, college student or graduate student who is a legal resident of the United States residing in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and who is enrolled in a two to five-year post-secondary institution for the 2023 Fall semester.

B) Employees of BK Law Group, their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households as such individuals (whether related or not), are not eligible to participate in the competition.

C) Candidates for this scholarship should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher and be in good overall academic standing.

Application Requirements

A) The candidate must submit a 750 – 1,000 word essay in response to the prompt: Tell BK Law about a specific time in your life where you utilized your strong work ethic. Tell us what the task was, how you stayed motivated, and what the outcome was.

B) The candidate must submit a professional resumé that lists their experience, both professional and academic.

C) The candidate must submit an official or unofficial transcript from their current school. First-year college students, graduate students, or individuals who have recently transferred schools may submit an unofficial transcript from their current school, as well as the most recent official transcript from their prior school. High school students must also submit proof of acceptance to their college or university.

F) Uploaded to YouTube and marked 'public.' No exceptions!

There is still time to join the USAR or National Guard, attend basic as a split option and come out of AIT their senior summer with college paid for.  My National Guard Simultaneous Member Cadets generally MAKE money to attend UofSC. 

 

UofSC system schools charge reservists (Guard and Reserve) HALF of the normal tuition rate, roughly $6,000 per year when normal in state tuition is just over $12,000 per year USAR Soldiers get $4,000 in TA and SCANG Soldiers get $8,500. 

 

My GBR, was a self admittedly “just okay high school student”.  He was not on the scholarship track academically.  He enlisted in the USAR as an 11^th grader.  He “found himself” with the assistance of some drill sergeants (funny how that happens).  This December, he walked away from UofSC after putting money in his pocket every semester in the 4 years he was here (and graduating with a double major, double minor and a 3.7 to boot)

 

Long term, the Army is going to get smaller – next year the end strength will be 473,000 about 12,000 smaller than this year.  This will by necessity reduce these educational opportunities.  With a smaller number of scholarships to offer, the quality of the student in the “winner’s pool” will go up.

 

I can’t stress enough the importance of these things for your potential scholarship applicants: 

 

1. Playing sports – we evaluate a scholarship applicant on the Scholar, Athlete, Leader model.  The vast majority of JROTC kids don’t play HS (or any) sports – that’s a third of their interview points gone.  They don’t have to be the captain of the football team – but they do need to get on the field (any field, track, court or pool).  They don’t even have to be on a high school team necessarily as long as they’re in some kind of competitive activities 9-12^th grade.  Run 5 and 10ks regularly (at least once a month), participate in martial arts, shoot a bow or an air rifle or skeet competitively…
2. Academic achievement – another third of the interview points.  Honors and AP courses are critical (but a high GPA is more important than a B or a C in an AP class where they made a 1 on the test).  NHS membership.  Solid SAT or ACT – no minimum to apply but we still use test scores in the “whole person review”.  
3. Leadership Positions – yet another third of the interview points.  They need to lead something, Cadet Battalion Commander (maybe have 3 changes of command Jr and Sr years), Team Captains (here Raider and Drill teams count) Student government, clubs athletic teams.  Have them start an organization and lead it.  Take on a leadership role in the community or at church.  Do you have a “trash pick up program”?  Name the “trash pick program” The Smith High School Green Club, put a cadet in charge of it and give him or her a leadership position.  “Sqd leader in JROTC” doesn’t count.

2020-2021 MERIT AWARDS

Coastal Carolina University offers a percentage-based merit awards program. The percentage-based program means that award amounts will increase to match any increase in tuition. Please see the regulations below for more details. 

Students are automatically considered for University merit-based awards, following acceptance to CCU. There is no separate application process.

New, incoming undergraduate students, both freshmen and transfers, are eligible for consideration.

Students are eligible to receive only one award from the merit-based award program. This includes the VPA Merit-based and PGM Merit-based awards. Out-of-state students who are granted access to the Academic Common Market tuition waiver are not eligible for additional tuition reduction through the University's merit award program. The Honors Program invitation is not considered a merit-based award.

The primary criteria used to determine freshman applicants’ merit award eligibility are grade point average and standardized test scores; however, a comprehensive review of the following factors may be considered in determining eligibility:

• Cumulative high school grade point averages – both weighted and unweighted, as applicable.
• Standardized test scores – SAT (combined math and evidenced based reading and writing scores) or ACT (composite score).
• Institutionally calculated “core” grade point average (see Freshman Admission Requirements for more information).
• Rigor of high school coursework (ie. Honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual enrollment).
• Rank within graduating class.
• Academic recommendations.
• Writing samples.
• Resumes, including leadership and work experience, as well as extracurricular involvement and activities.

Additional items for merit award consideration may be submitted electronically to meritawards@coastal.edu.
