To attach to scholarship applications a “statement of educational goals and career objectives” is what specifically is being requested.  Please note I am an older student who has had many occupations including owning my own business, in my early years I was a CNA and have a long list of community volunteer help including my husband and I run my son’s Cub Scout pack. I genuinely care about people and want to help and so that will be applied in my career in Respiratory Care once I graduate. (I will be 52 when I graduate).  It actually says no more than 500 words. So maybe 300-400 (for quoting purposes)
