I would like to apply for this scholarship because I am an incoming first-year college student and I really want to continue my education. My family is currently facing financial difficulties, and we do not have a stable financial situation to support my college expenses. My mother is working and does her best to provide for my needs, but it may still be difficult for us to afford the costs of college. I do not have family members working as OFWs, but I am sincerely hoping to be considered for this scholarship. This opportunity would mean so much to me and would help me pursue my studies despite our financial situation. Thank you for considering my application.
