Meet Our Scholarship Winner, Chelsea Lorimor!
Chelsea Lorimor recently won our scholarship contest, Why the SAT/ACT Doesn’t Measure Me. She is going to be a freshman at Mesa State in Colorado. She hopes to become a teacher and move back to her hometown Palisade, Colorado.
Her advice to other students is to apply for as many scholarships as possible because it’s a numbers game.
“It seems unfair to place such a great emphasis on one test to predict what a student has or has not learned,” Lorimor said in her essay that helped her win the scholarship. “There are other factors to be considered such as a student’s attendance, participation in class, percentage of assignments completed, grades on assignments, and tests.”
“As in life, there are many other aspects that should be considered. A student’s dedication to their education should play a vital role. A college would be much better off with a student who wants to learn and shows the discipline and responsibility to be there. After all, if you are not interested in your own education, then who would be?”
Congratulations Chelsea!
