Free Scholarships Blog

If you are reading this I am sure you are on the prowl for money for college. This is not an easy task and I am sure at times you probably feel like you are not eligible for any of the scholarships you come across. Well I am here to tell you about a few scholarships that should be on every student’s radar screen.

The first is the Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship. This scholarship recognizes students who exemplify change in their community and who serve as role models for their fellow students. Each recipient is awarded a one-time $1,000 grant to be used for higher education.

The second is Olive Garden’s Essay Writing Contest. The theme of the contest this year is “Teachers Who Inspire”. To enter you should write an essay describing a teacher who has inspired you in school and how they have impacted your life. Not only will the winner receive at $2,500 scholarship, but also a trip to New York City and dinner at the Olive Garden in Times Square!

Details about these scholarships and many other scholarships can be found on StudentScholarshipSearch.com.  Also, do not forget that ScholarshipPoints is giving away another $10,000 in exactly a month! Between now and then earn scholarship points and enter to win. You could find yourself going into next semester a little less stressed about expenses!

You 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!

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!

Check Out All the New Opportunities

Hello my scholarship peeps!

If any of you are football fanatics you may want to check out one of the latest scholarship opportunities which was posted on studentscholarshipsearch.com over the weekend.  This one is designed for those with knowledge centering around the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team.  I so wish I was eligible for some of these scholarships.

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!

We 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!!
