Resource talk:How to create a scholarship for disadvantaged communities

It´s completely true that education is the best tool that you could give to someone to help him or her rise. It´s a real pity that most of the time, higher education costs a lot of money. We as a society should help others fund their education in order to give them an opportunity to develop themselves and create new opportunities for our world as well.

I completely agree with the above comment. One of my friends from high school struggled with finding scholarships and resources in order to go to college. I think scholarships should be focussed on disadvantaged communities and no one should be denied opportunities because of their circumstances. College may not be for everyone, but every person should have equal access to higher education or education after high school. -norrisck

Hi Norrisck! I wrote the first comment and I could not agree more with you. Even though Higher education is not for everyone, all of us should have the opportunity to get in it. Money should never be an obstacle. We need more scholarships, especially from our governments. -Constanza

Educational Gap In Low Income Communities

There is a massive issue in the economic gap against our marginalized communities. However, because this negative spiral exists it also provides these communities less opportunities to educate and improve their livelihood. In being an individual who came from these communities and was lucky enough to have a good support system around me and being funded by scholarships, it has truly opened my eyes to the injustice and systemic oppression we face.

The honest truth is that I would not have had the courage to consider attending my university if I had not received several scholarships. Many youth in these neighborhoods are not even exposed to these opportunities, I had to scrounge to find these things for myself. I believe being able to provide youth with these opportunities is the not only beneficial morally, but also economically.

If we were to decrease the economic gap it would add millions of dollars to our economy. Being able to provide not only to our economy but to the well being of all people, is part of our duty. -Anthony Moody IV

Advantageous Scholarships

It is true that low income students don't receive as much attention as they should. If i didn't have the assistance I wouldn't be where I am right now. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, but it still a struggle to pay for school every now and then and I truly believe that creating one for low income that provides a fair amount of money to make getting their education easier would be so helpful. It would lessen the entering higher in debt every year and needing to work jobs and many hours so all of that energy can be indulged in having more time to study and even innovate. They would be able to unlock more potential they have hidden in them and not make them stress and and have a can't do it attitude.
