12.11.08 | Big BIG News, Win $80K!
ScholarshipPointers:
Winter break is here, and while it may be tempting, try not to get sucked in to doing NOTHING. Sure, it’s a great time to relax, see your family and high school pals, eat real food, etc. But you can also make excellent use of your time by winning a scholarship for next semester. Since I just graduated this past May, this winter holiday season marks the first time I don’t get a month break from school and work. Bummer, I know. But if a ScholarshipPoints member wins one of these monthly scholarships below, well, I think that would be AWESOME. Always remember, every $500 or $1,000 or $10,000 that you can come up with in scholarships is that much less that you have to pay back in student loans. And if you already signed up for these last month, do it again. They’re new drawings every month, so you definitely can’t win if you don’t enter.
I was fortunate enough to walk away with some money towards school, but it took a lot of work. From my senior year in high school throughout my 4 years of college, I made it a point every week to spend 15 minutes or so signing up for new scholarships. The key to making it work is staying organized, and we’re here to help you with that! If you haven’t already, read our free Scholarship Guide and visit our own scholarship search. But first, check out the scholarship opportunities below.
If we at ScholarshipPoints love anything more than giving out money, it’s giving out other people’s money! I kid, but seriously, we’ve done a bit of research over here and found some great scholarship offers you definitely should be interested in. You can apply for these offers WEEKLY and get counted each time!

- Cappex $1,000 Scholarship: Cappex is a terrific college matching tool. A real must-use for incoming college students
- FastWeb Scholarships: Fastweb is the biggest scholarship search tool. They do a great job of matching your profile to relevant scholarships.
And that’s all I have for you today, guys. Pretty good point activity right? So go win $80 grand.
Oh right, your code! ENTRTOWIN

March 26th, 2009 | #
It just seems very suspicious that they have had a monthly drawing and haven’t posted any new winners since November….
March 26th, 2009 | #
I’ve never heard of these! Thanks!
March 26th, 2009 | #
@general,
I talk to this company at least once a week – I assure you they give out the money they say they do. Sometimes it’s just a process to get someone’s information verified, disperse the funds, and get them up on the site! Thanks for your inquiry tho

To the Scholarship Points powers-that-be?
Can you please recontact the 10K Free College Scholarship/Free military schol. people and then report your findings? The most recent winner was supposedly drawn on 11/14/08 and yet this organization has claimed to have a monthly drawing.

GOOD TO KNOW
March 25th, 2009 | #
I love this site.
March 18th, 2009 | #
Great info, but I’m curious about something:
Free College Scholarships and Free Military Scholarhips are both suppose to be separate companies, right? So why do both sites have the exact same past winners?
March 16th, 2009 | #
Great information! Thanks!
March 15th, 2009 | #
This was really informative, appreciate it!!!

March 4th, 2009 | #
@Rach, I understand what you mean. But the fact remains, if you sign up, you’re entered in a chance to win big money. If you don’t, you’re not.

One can’t help but be skeptical towards things like this.
March 4th, 2009 | #
I hope it’s my turn to win some scholarship $$$…
March 3rd, 2009 | #
looks like some great opportunities!, thanks captain!
March 3rd, 2009 | #
it is for real
February 28th, 2009 | #
@Mitsu, of course people win these scholarships. I’ve spoken to each of these companies personally – and have even contacted some of the winners on Facebook to check.
February 25th, 2009 | #
Not to sound negative or ungrateful, but I would really like to know if anybody ever actually WINS any of those scholarships. I don’t see the incentive for those companies to just hand out $10,000, and I’ve never actually heard of anyone winning.
February 25th, 2009 | #
@Corrine
But one day you WILL be 18 (and chances are you’ll need a scholarship more then than now). Don’t forget these opportunities.
February 18th, 2009 | #
This is so unfair! You have to be 18 to enter them! I’m not 18!!
February 18th, 2009 | #
The Free College Scholarship and the Military Scholarship have to be confirmed from your e-mail to be entered. It will show up in your e-mail if you did everything right.

Anyone else having problems with winningsurveys.com? I try to register and I keep getting an error message that they can’t verify my address. I’m entering it correctly, and have tried a few variations (Avenue instead of Ave….).

It’s good to know some of these sites acutally give you money. Especially all the time spent on trying to get them. Good to know it’s not completely wasting time.
