Please write an essay (300 word maximum, double-spaced) on the following topic:
"How has your community service experience influenced your career goals and personal development?"
The benefactors of this scholarship define Community Service as follows:
Community service is unpaid work for a nonprofit, civic, or public organization that benefits the community, like helping at food banks, shelters, libraries, or parks, and generally involves direct or indirect help, while activities like faith-based worship, routine school/club participation, or personal favors for friends/family usually don’t count. It’s about serving others and improving community well-being through organized efforts, not just acts of kindness or school requirements.
