Hi all! Did you know that the March 10K scholarship drawing is just six days away? Thats right! We will be drawing the winner on Monday which means you have until Sunday night at midnight to earn scholarship points and enter them into the drawing.

If you are still looking for more ways to earn scholarship points here are a few articles that you may not have read to keep you going:

Accredited Distance Learning: Distance learning is a wonderful new way of earning your degree without the hassle and added expense of traditional schools. You can earn all kinds of degrees and certifications through the different accredited distance learning programs that are out there.

Federal Work Study, in Plain English: How the Federal Work Study program works, and why it probably is a great way for you to make some pocket money without getting in the way of your studies or classes.

How are private student loan interest rates determined? Unlike federal student loans, private student loans do not have a universal fixed interest rate.Private student loan interest rated are calculated based on a published index, such as the Prime Rate or LIBOR, and a margin based on your credit score and credit history. Private student loan interest rates fluctuate over time and interest begins accruing as soon as the loan is disbursed.

Good luck everyone and may the best scholarship seeker win!

*Thud* *Thud* *Clunk* *Clunk* “Hear that?!”

“What is it?!!!” — “I don’t know! I think its……”

The 10K Scholarship Monster! Ooh, look! It’s holding a bundle of money in its meaty claws! Little Tommy, hurry and get the rake — maybe if we poke it mercilessly it’ll drop the cash! Yes, yes that’s it, that’s the ticket!

Wait, wait!! …. it’s speaking:

“RAWR! If you want my money you must earn scholarship points and present them to me by March 14th at the stroke of midnight… or I will eat your children. Or maybe I’ll just go for a swim, I like swimming.”

“But but, Mr. Scholarship Monster,” Little Tommy asked timidly, “where can we get scholarship points?”

“RAWRRRRRRR! In the village square, you must complete points earning activities and then redeem them for entries into my contest!”

Little Tommy spoke with a quiet voice, “But Mr. 10K Monster, I’m not out of high school yet… am I old enough?” The Monster thought carefully and declared, “You’re cool with me kid, if you’re at least a senior in high school.”

Suddenly, the Monster realized it was dinnertime and waded back into the village’s murky lake. “Remember, by midnight on March 14th!” And it was gone.

It is only Tuesday, but at least I have some great scholarships to tell you about! All of these scholarships have upcoming deadlines so if you think you might qualify start applying as soon as possible.

The first scholarship I have for you is from the Radio Television Digital News Foundation. RTDNA Scholarships are for college students planning careers in radio, television or online journalism. They also offer fellowships to journalists with fewer than 10 years experience working in radio, television or online journalism.

The second scholarship I want to tell you about today is the Hood Good Sport Scholarship. The Hood Good Sport Scholarship program, presented by Hood Milk, rewards high school athletes with $5,000 towards furthering their education at a two- or four-year accredited college or university.

The last scholarship I want to tell you about today is the Golden LEAF Scholarship. The Golden LEAF Scholarship is for public university students and is funded through a grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation. This scholarship is designed to assist current high school seniors, current North Carolina community college students and students currently enrolled at public North Carolina four-year universities.

Finally, I want to remind everyone that the ScholarshipPoints.com March 2010 $10,000 scholarship drawing is now less than two weeks away! We will be drawing the lucky winner on March 15th which means you have until midnight on March 14th to earn points and enter to win! Good luck!
