Importance of Scholarships

Scholarships are sums of money that a student is given in order to help pay for college. There are many different kinds of scholarships so anyone can find one to suit them.  Scholarships help can help save you and your family money because college is so expensive.  It will also help in the long run because of college loans that pile up and affect your future in a negative way.  The application process is pretty easy, so applying for as many scholarships as you can, for whatever the price, will help you with the expenses from college. Plus, colleges will most likely accept diligent students who received a good merit scholarship.

Is it Worth It?

Getting a college degree is necessary and worth the time for economic and social success because it means that you are able to sustain a stable and healthy life. I think it will be helpful to get a degree that will benefit you in life. It is important to have a degree because people will take you seriously and the people that you are around will influence you in a positive way because of where you stand in your social circle. Economically, you will be able to support yourself and a child (hopefully) because of your degree and steady job.

I think that we are given more opportunities by living in the US compared to Israel maybe. In Israel, students have to join the army when they turn 16 and serve at least 3 years. In the US, we get to choose whether we want to join the army or not. Although we both have the option of higher education, or college, we get to start earlier which means we have more time to decide what we are going to do with our lives.
