11.12.09 | Keeping Up With Scholarship Points

Twitter BirdYou may have noticed by now that Scholarship Points has a lot going on! Sometimes you might feel like keeping up with everything is a bit overwhelming. I bet you wish there was a place where you could quickly get updates on new scholarship contests, where to find point opportunities and even secret bonus codes. Well I am here to tell you that a place like that exists. If you did not know already, Scholarship Points is on Twitter!

If you follow @winscholarships you will never miss a point activity or scholarship deadline again! Isn’t that a relief? We all know that the more point activities complete the more chances you have to win scholarships. As a bonus, you will also be able to see when new scholarships are posted on Student Scholarship Search. Searching for scholarships will become almost no work at all.

So take one minute out of the hundreds that you are online every day to check out the feed. Trust me, you will kick yourself if you miss the next 10K deadline!

11.12.09 | Olive Garden’s Essay Writing Contest

Hello my little scholarship seekers! As you know there are new scholarships posted each week over on Student Scholarship Search.  I just posted one this morning for the Olive Garden.  Personally I’d be happy if I won a gift card from Olive so I could eat some of that fine cuisine, but someone is going to win $2,500 and a three day trip to NY City along with dinner at the Olive Garden in Times Square!

Hello ScholarshipPoints gang!

This is the nutty Professor just wanting to remind you that a great resource to locate cool scholarships for school is over at studentscholarshipsearch.com.  I’ve been personally loading new scholarship opportunities every day especially for you and will continue to do so for the rest of my days here on earth.  So if you haven’t checked out that site be sure to do so.

Some of the new scholarships I loaded this week include one from Burger King, The Next Iron Chef, and even a scholarship for golf caddies.  There is a scholarship for everyone!

10.08.09 | Twenty-three days until 10K

make_us_betterWe are just twenty-three days away from the big $10,000 drawing on Halloween!  Who’s excited?  Who’s pumped?  Who wants to jump for joy?  I can’t even win the mucho but I am still excited!!

We’re thinking about having the next 10K winner video a :30 second snip it saying how much they love us and what they plan to do with the money.  The winners page is cool, with all the testimonials, but we still get people emailing us saying, “Are you guys for real?  Is this a scam?”  I’m not sure what else to do to prove we are not making this stuff up so I thought maybe a video from the winner?

Does anybody out there have a suggestion on how we can make people feel we are legit?  Are we doing a good job now?  When you come to the site do you think we seem shady or something?  My mission is to get no more emails that say, are you guys for real?  I need your help!!

online_studentWe are looking for anyone who has been enrolled in an online degree program to share their experience with our members. We want to hear it all – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Did you find online education easy? Was it more difficult than a traditional classroom setting?  How long did it take you to get your degree? Was it expensive? Would you do it again? What was the financial aid process like? Did your classes transfer without a problem? Did a prospective employer have reservations about hiring you because your degree was from an online institution? Any other thoughts?

You own the creative license to your blog. You can write about any aspect you wish.

All blogs should be emailed to members@scholarshippoints.com with the subject line Online Education Blog.  Upon receipt of your blog your account will be credited 25 Points.

10.08.08 | Four Places to Find Emergency College Funds

From Student Loan Help » Scholarship Points:

I grew up like most kids, loving the October Halloween month. I had a license to be bad and wasn’t afraid to use it. Snickers, KitKat’s, Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, & Twix were the sweet objects of my affection. And yes, my waistline reflected my sinful indulgence, but I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. Today [...]
