Prompt #1: What makes you unique and deserving of a scholarship? Some students have a background, identity, interest or talent that is meaningful and sets them apart. If this sounds like you, please share your story and explain how a scholarship would benefit you.
Prompt #2: Sometimes we face obstacles that can later lead to our growth or success. Explain a time when you faced a challenge, setback or failure. Explain how it affected you, what you learned, and how it will shape your college experience if you receive a scholarship.
Prompt #3: Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and/or a new understanding of yourself and others. How will this affect you as a CCD student if you are chosen for a scholarship?

Summer courses at any institution are a great option to have, but when we think about our summers, the decision on whether or not these courses are right for you comes with pros and cons. Here is some info to help you make the correct decision so that you can continue on a successful path to graduation.
By taking summer classes, you can maintain momentum and keep your work ethic up. Sometimes after a long summer, it is easy to fall out of that rhythm and get into a funk.
General education classes provide a wide array of background knowledge and are sometimes pre-requisite courses for other classes. By taking summer courses, you can jump into classes related to your major sooner and even graduate early.
Your degree requires a credit minimum. Taking summer courses can help you meet that minimum requirement faster. During the course of the year, you will be able to take less of a packed course-load. This will help when you are taking those difficult courses that require more reading and/or studying.
While this may be a benefit to some. shorter class time means the same amount of material given at a quicker pace. Really looking at your individual learning style will help determine if this is a PRO or a CON for you.
Again, the cons of summer classes starts with your personality and learning style. Some students really value their downtime during the summer to prepare for the upcoming academic year or even prepare financially by getting that summer job to help pay for tuition and fees or things around the house.
