SCHOLARSHIPS PAY OFF
How tall are you? Are you a skateboarder? Do you like to knit? Whoever you are, whatever you do, there is a scholarship for you!
One student, Ryan, made it his job to get scholarships. He is the son of a farmer and needed more
money to come to college. He started applying for scholarships when he was in high school. He received a big scholarship from the college because he is an excellent student. He also won a national competition and received a 5,000award.Sometimesheworkedveryhardfillingoutapplicationsandwritingessaysforscholarships,evenforsmallamountsofmoney.Byhisjunioryearofcollege,hehadreceivedmorethan61,000!
Sure, there are scholarships for good students like Ryan. There are scholarships for good athletes or for students in need. But what about the rest of us? In fact, there are some very surprising scholarships for everyone else. Believe it or not, there is a scholarship for skateboarders with a GPA (Great Point Average) of 2.5 or higher. These student skateboarders can receive 5,000or1,000 awards. There is also a scholarship for tall people. Women 5’10” or taller and men 6’2” or taller can apply. These tall students are eligible for 1,000awards.Don’tworry,shortpeople,thereisascholarshipforyouifyouare4’10”orshorter.Youcanget1,000 too.
