"My name is Ryan Lloyd, and I’m excited about receiving this scholarship. Although my parents have been saving for the college educations for my younger sister and me since we were young, the cost has continued to increase rapidly, in fact, faster than the rate of inflation or the rate of interest earned on that savings. Since I am attending a private, out-of-state school, that cost is extremely high. Therefore, I am seeking this scholarship as part of my contribution towards the cost of my education and in appreciation for the sacrifices my parents made over time to set aside funds on my behalf. The scholarship will also allow me to consider taking an unpaid summer internship or even start a business tied to my studies during my time at Elon University. Thank you for this opportunity to grow and succeed."
