Our Scholarship Essay Competition
$2500 Essay Scholarship for College Students
Do you need money for college? How about for books? We understand these expenses can add up quickly and want to help. Online Schools Offering Laptops is providing an essay scholarship competition to eligible students in need.
Why $2500?
The scholarship award is a one time disbursement of $2500 to the chosen student. Why $2500? Although most scholarships of this nature are in the $500 – $1000 dollar range, our goal is to offer more to students who genuinely need the assistance. While an award of $500 can definitely help, we understand that these amounts can barely dent a paltry book budget, let alone class expenses, materials, transportation, and general living expenses.
What Can I Use the Money For?
There are no strings, loopholes, or quirky requirements attached to this scholarship. Every student has different needs at different times – therefore you may use the $2500 for any college related expenses that arise: books, tuition, class supplies, living expenses, food, or transportation.
