College Mouse proudly announces Ms. Grace Shirley, a Parkland College student, has earned the College Mouse 2018 scholarship. More than 30 individuals applied for this scholarship and Ms. Shirley will receive a $1,500 scholarship. College Mouse offers career planning resources designed to help individuals succeed in their chosen field and the scholarship is one way the firm can assist individuals in achieving this goal.
Daniel Musitwa, Editor at College Mouse, says, "College Mouse is thrilled to award this scholarship to Ms. Grace Shirley. Her outstanding all-around high school record demonstrates how deserving she is of this scholarship."
Currently enrolled as an undergraduate student at Parkland College in Champaign, Illinois, Ms. Shirley plans to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education and is presently studying for this degree. Only 19 years old, she wishes to work with young children who have special needs or a disability. There is a need for professionals in this field, as it is expected to grow by 10 percent in the coming years due to the increased focus on early childhood education.
Ms. Shirley is delighted to have been honored in this way. As she explains, "The funds will be of great help in paying my college expenses as I pursue a career in this important field."
College Mouse launched the $1,500 scholarship program earlier this year to support students planning to enroll in a United States college, university, or vocational institution or who are already enrolled in one. In order to be considered for this scholarship, each applicant must submit a cover letter and an essay on the topic-Why College Matters to Me.
While attending Champaign Central High School, Ms. Shirley participated in multiple sports, including cheerleading, track sports and cross country. In addition, she remained active in several organizations and clubs, including the Student Council, National Honor Society, and Leaders Make Leaders. Furthermore, Ms. Shirley volunteered in her community and church and recently was awarded the Citation Award from Awana, a Christian-based organization.
College Mouse works with a team of career guidance counselors. The counselors work with students to provide information about different career options, school information, scholarships and more.
