FINAL ENTRIES

I decided to enter this competition in order to not only learn more while also teaching about financial literacy, but to also have a chance to win.

I got interested in the workshop and I want to gain more money for my future.

I want to help my mom pay the bills so she can relax a little bit more.

I love to draw and write.

I wanted to enter this Competition because I wanted to see if my creativity could win

My Aunt Ida enter me into the contest. So once I was enter into the contest I had to do what was required to win!!

My mom is a financial professional and she told me about it and said I should join; so I did.

My parents have been in the financial industry and as I get closer to taking my exam for my AP Macroeconomic class, I felt like the scholarship was a great way to combine my home and school life.

I want a chance for my art to be officially recognized and appreciated by people

I wanted to enter because I really enjoy arts and crafts and using it to express my ideas. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do just that. I love that I could have fun and enjoy the creative process while also contributing to something meaningful.

I want to be able to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of financial literacy.

I am currently taking AP Microeconomics, and I have found the topic to be more interesting than I expected.

I've always wanted to embrace the technical side of finance and the expressive side of art. With a combination of both, it can break down the barriers of the contrasting sides and merge into a unified synergy.

I decided to apply for this scholarship because it aligns with my passion for financial literacy and economic development and my commitment to education. As someone who has experienced firsthand the power of financial literacy and opportunity, I’m always looking for ways to grow both personally and professionally while also giving back. This scholarship would help alleviate the financial pressure as I continue my career in wealth management and paying it forward in my community with financial literacy. It's not just about the support, it's about being part of something bigger than myself.
