Ooops sorry! Our mistake! Thank you to those of you who brought to our attention the fact that the ScholarshipPoints bonus code in the most recent Financial Aid Newsletter was not working.

The answer, quite simply, is yes! High school seniors can earn points and enter scholarship drawings and even win! In fact, one of the November 2009 winners is a senior who is planning on enrolling in college in the fall. We plan on holding onto the money for now and sending it to her school when she is officially a student.

We can hold scholarships for winners for up to 12 months. As long as the winner enrolls within those 12 months they will receive their scholarship. This is really great for students who want to get a head start on finding free money for school. So apply away seniors and good luck with your college admissions process! No not forget that we are drawing the winner of the December $10,000 giveaway next week!

The November 2009 Scholarship Winners have been announced! We recently posted the winners of the monthly $1,000 Free College Scholarship, $500 ZoomPanel.com Scholarship, and the $500 WinningSurvey.com Scholarship. Congratulations to all of the winners!
