Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

Dear Committee,
I hope this letter finds you well. As I look forward to my future, I am excited to share my goals and aspirations with you in the hopes of being considered for your scholarship opportunity.
My name is Alexia Engvaldsen. I am from Wilmington, Massachusetts and I am currently a senior at Malden Catholic High School. I am gearing up to start college this fall though I am still figuring out exactly what I want to study. Ideally, I would like to pursue a career where I can help people or animals, given my strong love for dogs.
As I reflect on my interests and strengths, I am drawn to fields like business and hospitality. I imagine myself in a role where I can make a positive impact on other’s lives while living out my passion. Whether it is managing a dog daycare or contributing to the exciting world of tourism and hotel management, I see these fields as avenues to fulfill both my professional ambitions and my desire to assist others.
I believe my experiences in athletics have prepared me with valuable skills that will benefit me in any career path I choose. Through soccer, hockey, and track, I have learned the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. These qualities will serve me well as I navigate the challenges of college and beyond.
Outside of academics and sports, I have also been involved in several volunteer opportunities such as Bread of Life Food Bank in Malden, MA, and a Children’s Learn to Skate program in NH. These experiences have deepened my commitment to making a difference and strengthened my desire to pursue a career centered around service.
In closing, I want to express my gratitude for considering my application for your scholarship. Your support would help to alleviate the financial burden of college and also provide me with the opportunity to continue chasing my dreams. I am eager to begin my journey and I am hopeful that with your assistance, I can turn my goals and aspirations
Thank You,
