villagers: Hi there. My name’s Kassie. I’m 18 (and a half) & I’m in need of a little help. I’ve just finished my first year at Johnson & Wales University (woo, go me!) and while that’s a fabulous achievement, I still have another year left before I can finish my associates in Baking & Pastry. Ultimately, the goal is to have my bachelors in B&P / Food Service Management.. and possibly move on to a Master’s.. but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Anyway, while a pretty decent amount of my tuition (around 41k) is covered by grants, scholarships, loans, etc.. I still have a pretty hefty balance left to pay (around 16k). Getting approved for a loan seems impossible and I apply for scholarships daily, but not many responses find their way back to me. This scholarship is for $20,000, that pays for the rest of my tuition, new books, new uniforms, and replaces a bunch of things that were stolen out of my knife kit this year between classes, PLUS I could pay for my first term as a junior with what I had left over. I was voted “Most likely to never return to Tarpon Springs” (the town I went to high school in) because everyone knew how much I hated it there. I really don’t want to end up back here because after spending this last year in Charlotte, it’s become crystal clear that this is what I’m meant to be doing / where I’m meant to be. I have never been in a happier place, to be totally honest. But anywho, where your help is needed.. the more sponsors I have for this scholarship entry, the better the chance I have to win because it’s a random drawing.. it’d be super-duper-radically cool if you guys could sign up, spread the link, & help me out.. it takes like, a minute and 47 seconds and the best part about it is that it costs zero dollars.  click here to be a sponsor!  It might be a long shot, but I have to try.  Thanks for taking the time to read my obnoxiously long post. Much love.  All you need to do is sign up with an email account! Woooo, free help! -- source link
