Jim Rohn once wrote "Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time." A very good statement, which rings true when related to education and experiences with family, friends, and many other things. Along with people not having money to spend for college, some people would want to spend their time on education. A full-ride scholarship would help with the two previously stated, and could also relieve stress on the lives of the person receiving it.

Many parents begin to save up money for their children to go to college. Mine, unfortunately, did not. While they were probably not in the future mindset of college for children, they also have to pay to continue their business going. They still have not set aside money for solely college, I hope a full-ride scholarship would allow them to relax and not worry about helping me pay for college, and also make them proud that I attend college, with everything paid. In result this would make my parents worry free and also myself.

Some people jump right into work as soon as they graduate high school. Not everyone has success stories of finishing high school, and not attending or finishing college, but still becoming wealthy. That is why I'd rather spend more time on education than attempt to be successful at a entry level job. Education will also be able to expand my knowledge on many other subjects. It would also help as a fallback plan, if I attempt to try being wealthy, like Bill Gates, I would have some sort of qualifications to have a job to support the road to being wealthy and successful.

Paying huge amounts of debt can stress people out. The person would have to worry about getting a job and attempting to pay back the loan, or whatever method used to obtain the college money. With a full-ride scholarship the student would be able to relax, and possibly even pay more attention to his or her studies. The feeling of starting a life with no worries, or having enough money saved up, either from work or a different type of scholarship, to start your future can be a great feeling.

Overall, a full-ride scholarship can help out greatly. It would not only help expand my education and help pay because no money is saved up, but also can make life more relaxed and worry free. A person who received the benefit of a full-ride scholarship, might want to return the favor and also attempt to help another student get that same opportunity.
