Zachary Yarnell: My Undergraduate Achiever Scholarship!
Dec 10,2015
My name is Zach Yarnell and I am a sophomore Business Administration major concentrating in management at Colorado State University. I am from Castle Rock, Colorado and have pretty much spent my entire life in Colorado, mainly around the Castle Rock area. During my time at CSU, I have been involved in a few different clubs and organizations outside of my ac🎃ademic work. First off, I am on the Colorado State University cheerleading team. I was on the team as a freshman and remain a part of the program this year as a sophomore. Beyond that, I am member of Theta Chi Fraternity as was recently elected as the Scholarship Chair for the 2014 calendar year. I am also a member of President’s Leadership Program, which is a two credit class at CSU. In addition, I spent my last summer as an Orientation Leader and I will spend my upcoming summer doing the same. Lastly, this year I am working for the Office of Admissions giving tours to prospective students and families.
I am truly honored and thankful to receive this scholarship. This award will definitely make a difference with my education at Colorado State University. The scholarship will ultimately help me pay for college, which is not an easy task. The expense for higher educati🐻on only continues to increase, so every little bit makes a huge difference. Beyond that, this scholarship will really serve as a motivator for me, reinforcing the idea that hard work pays off. This scholarship inspires me to excel and do great things because I now see that the sacrifice is worth it.
