I have always been fascinated with the Civil War. Ever since my eight grade class took a trip to Gettsyburg, and my teacher Mr. Aronis marched us up Little Round Top, I have loved learning about it. Naturally, in college I was a history major and wrote my thesis on Cherokee Indians who fought for the Confederacy. Plus, this year marks the 150th year anniversary of the Civil War, so I thought it would [...]

Each month, College Prowler also offers two different scholarships for high school students and an [...]
The Best Buy @15 Scholarship is much more open than much of the other scholarships posted here at Scholarships360. This is both a good and a bad thing; good because anyone from grades 9-12 in the U.S. or Puerto Rico who plans on entering college after high school graduation can apply, but bad because this makes the scholarships that much more competitive. The competetiveness of these scholarships are, however, diminished [...]
Fires in US homes kill nearly 3,000 people per year. Organization like the American Fire Sprinklers Association are certainly instrumental in combating home fires (and yes, the AFSA is a real organization). The mission of the American Fire Sprinklers Association (AFSA) is very straightforward: they represent open shop fire sprinkler contractors and also promote the utilization of automatic fire sprinkler systems.
