'Making the Future' Program

There’s an education crisis in the U.S.: a relative decline in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) proficiency, fewer young people interested in STEM fields, and – perhaps most alarming – a decline in measured creativity. The future competitiveness and innovative capacity of the U.S., the quality of our workforce, and the prosperity of future generations are at risk.
Cognizant’s Making the Future education initiative was created to unleash the passion of young people in STEM disciplines by creating fun, hands-on learning opportunities. Through financial, in-kind and volunteer support for schools and nonprofits; advocacy; college scholarships; and our flagship Making the Future After-School and Summer Program, Cognizant seeks to develop 21st century skills like creativity, innovation, and collaboration that will create a brighter future for our children, preparing them to be tomorrow’s leaders in our global economy.

How does a scholarship affect my other student aid?

A scholarship will affect your other student aid because all your student aid added together can’t be more than your cost of attendance at your college or career school.

So, you’ll need to let your school know if you’ve been awarded a scholarship so that the financial aid office can subtract that amount from your cost of attendance (and from certain other aid, such as loans, that you might have been offered).

 Then, any amount left can be covered by other financial aid for which you’re eligible. Questions? Ask your financial aid office.

Scholarship Zone scholarship

It seems nearly every website wants you to register. It’s not enough to simply use a site’s service from time to time, apparently. But not many sites offer as great a possible reward as Scholarship Zone does.

By simply registering for the website
(which requires answering less than 15 basic questions about yourself),
you’re automatically entered for the next scholarship drawing of $10,000. You’re really not obligated to do anything after that, though you now get to take advantage of the website’s resources. But hey, are you at least 18 and in college?
Then why not take two minutes to apply?

It can take a huge load off your tuition bill.

Don’t let student loan debt unnecessarily pile up. The excuse of not being qualified for scholarships can work for certain scholarships but not for these ones.
Laziness, in this case, can cost you thousands of dollars. Take a few minutes out of your day and rake in that dough.

Easy Scholarships ?? - what is scholarships ?

Easy scholarships are what we're all looking for, aren't they? Scholarship money is great, and easy scholarship money is even better. So how do you find easy scholarships? And how can you tell if an "easy" scholarship is really easy?

First, let's ask the obvious question: what are easy scholarships? We know what scholarships are: free money for college! We can agree on that. But how do you define easy? After all, something you find easy might be excruciatingly difficult or boring for another person--for example, I think calculating a tip at a restaurant is simple, but to one of my best friends, it's impossible without a calculator. Then how can we tell you what the easy scholarships are if we don't know what you consider easy? Well, let's start with a basic definition. Whether the amount is $5,000 or $50, easy scholarships are scholarships whose awards are more than worth the effort involved in competing. Hopefully, the effort will be minimal or at least enjoyable, and hopefully you'll actually stand a good chance at winning scholarships you find easy. All of these factors go into determining what makes a scholarship contest not only worth entering (because many difficult things are worth doing), but actually something you'd consider easy.

Weekly Scholarship $1,000

Even better than once-a-month is once-a-week. Granted, the Zinch.com weekly scholarship is not as simple as merely filling out basic information about yourself, it’s almost that simple.

All U.S. high schools  and college students are eligible for this $1,000 scholarship. All it requires is filling out a short form about yourself and answering an unusual question in 280 characters or less (similar to the Twitter-standard of characters). The question changes weekly.

 This week’s question, for example, is:

“Greek historian Plutarch once wrote, The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled. Explain what that quote means to you.”

You can apply every week, once a week. Have fun with it.
