From Student Loan News, Updates and Blog Posts » Scholarship Points:

By far the best part of my job is when I inform a deserving student that they’ve won a scholarship from scholarshippoints.com, which is giving away over $100,000 in scholarship money this year.  The reactions I’ve got through the years have been priceless.  I’ve heard everything from, “Get the bleep out of here,” to “This [...]

09.04.09 | New $500 Zoompanel Winner Drawn!

Posted in scholarship points by Kristin Morris

Hello ScholarshipPoints friends.

The first $500 Zoompanel winner did not come forward to claim her award, which means a new name has been drawn and is now posted on the winners page.

I’d also like to add that I really hate seeing anyone miss out because they didn’t check for their name.  In fact, in addition to posting the winners name on the winners page I also emailed her three separate times with no reply.

Hopefully this will help serve as a reminder to all to check the winners page on the 1st of every month to see if your name has been drawn.

Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!
