critically. For the past two semester’s 1 have been an over - credit student by getting approval from the dean’s office to take more credit’s than allowed, based on my GPA. My first semester as a sophomore I earned a 3.6 GPA and am proud to be on the Dean’s List for the past two semesters. Aside from being on lUP’s Dean’s List, 1 have also been on the National Dean’s List every semester at 1UP. In high school, I was consecutively accepted into the Who’s Who among American High School Students for three years. Aside from dedicating my time to school, I also work at least twenty hours a week at Sheetz. After graduation, I plan to enroll in a PhD program for study on the History of Art and Architecture and one day hope to be a professor myself! I feel that since I am so inspired by my professors that I want to help inspire future students into finding their passions too! I am in financial need because I live by my own without any financial help from family members or friends. I do get some financial help from grants and loans but I would like to eliminate the loans so that I am not in severe financial debt once I graduate from college. I have a single mother who has raised her two daughters all alone and has done everything possible to make sure that we have had everything we needed as we were growing up and I feel, now that I am adult, it is my financial responsibility to pay for my own way. I currently live in my own townhouse, shared by a few roommates, and am 100% financially independent. I pay for my rent, sewer, electric, water, phone, transportation (car maintenance & insurance), and food. Aside from paying for my living expenses, I also pay for books and supplies, to which being an Art major exceeds the costs of books. I would dearly appreciate this scholarship to help continue with my educational studies. I would like to thank the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America for their generosity.
