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!

In what I can only describe as bizarre, the October $10,000 scholarship winner would not provide the basic necessary details that winners are required to submit to us so that we may process their scholarship, thus forfeiting the $10,000 first prize.

All winners are required to give us: college name, financial aid officer’s name, mailing address, school id or last 4 digits of social, and a short paragraph about yourself and how the scholarship will help.  We also strongly encourage 10K winners to supply a 30-second or shorter video clip as well telling us how awesome Scholarshippoints is.  That’s it.  I am still scratching my head over this one.

At any rate, a new student has been crowned the $10,000 October scholarship winner!  Check out the winners page and see if it’s you!

When it comes to free money for college most students will take what they can get, but how would you feel about accepting a scholarship from a chewing tobacco company? Scholarships are often given out by companies to improve their corporate image, but if a tobacco company shells out scholarship money is that sending the wrong message to college students?

No one wants to be in the middle yet the middle is where many of us find ourselves, the middle class that is. The middle class is where most Americans reside. It’s where money gets tight. And when it comes to financial aid, being stuck in the middle earnings category is like a death sentence.
