Today’s scholarship was one that we profiled last year, The Independence Day Scholarship Contest, which is sponsored by the Joe Foss Institute. Joe Foss was a distinguished member of the Marine Corps who received the Medal of Honor in 1943. This scholarship is essay-based and is open to all high school students. This year, the theme of the scholarship is “I declare! What it took to declare our independence.” [...]
Today’s scholarship is sponsored by the Former Majority Association for Equality (FMAFE) which is an organization that believes that “race and gender has no place on any application.” I am sure you have noticed that there are not many scholarship simply for white males (we actually have not found any), so the F.M.A.F.E. Scholarship aims to help that demographic. It should be noted that the F.M.A.F.E. has no racial agenda [...]
Today’s scholarship is for aspiring filmmakers who also have a passion for safety! This scholarship is sponsored in part by Bridgestone America.

The Stuck at Prom Scholarship Program is a classic and one of the stranger scholarship programs that exists. With spring approaching, this is a rather appropriate scholarship program. The scholarship is pretty simple: students have to design prom accessories and/or outfits that are made entirely from duct tape (not duck tape). To get some ideas, you can check out what Google Images has to say. You can also take a [...]
Today’s scholarship is the Dr. Alma S. Adams Scholarship for Outreach and Health Communications. This scholarship is offered by Legacy, which is a non-profit organization that “is dedicated to building a world where young people reject tobacco and anyone can quit.” This scholarship is worth $5,000 and Legacy will be awarding two separate awards.
College can be an expensive investment. This past year, the federal government required colleges and universities to have something called the net price calculator on their websites. The net price calculator simply estimates the “actual” cost of a particular college. With student loans on the rise, this is a wonderful tool to help students and their families determine the cost of a college.

This scholarship is open to high school seniors and undergraduates at 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities.
Today’s scholarship is the New York Water Environment Association Scholarship (NYWEA Scholarship), which is sponsored by the NYWEA, a non-profit dedicated to “promoting sustainable clean water quality management through science, education and training.” Their scholarship program is a wonderful way that the NYWEA promotes their mission. This year, they are offering a total of $27,000 in scholarship awards!
Underage drinking is a huge problem in our society. Each year CourageousPersuaders.com sponsors a video contest for high school students to talk about the dangers of underage drinking.

Specifically, the video should be a “TV commercial targeted at middle schools students.” The program encourages students to be creative, but stresses that the message (anti-underage drinking) [...]
