Let’s kick off the New Year on a great note – starting with plenty of opportunities to pay for school for everystudent.
We’ve found new and exciting scholarship opportunities for 2015 so you can begin to your New Year with opportunities for a better tomorrow. After all, isn’t that what scholarships are really about?
Start your New Year off right by applying for the below 2015 scholarships but – wait – don’t stop there!
Be sure to keep checking out your 2015 scholarship matches for even more opportunities to make this year count. Make 2015 the year YOU win a scholarship!
All it takes is hard work, determination and effort towards your scholarship applications. Oh, and don’t even think about giving up if you don’t win right away – that’s certainly not a scholarship winner’s attitude.
Here are 15 scholarships for 2015 to get you started off on the right foot (and the right financial path) this year:
$10,000 Teach Seniors Technology Scholarship
Deadline: January 20, 2015
Award: $10,000
Available to: Maximum Age 26
Get this: 40% of seniors don’t use the Internet. At all. This can leave them disconnected from loved ones and lead to feelings of isolation and depression.
This October, DoSomething.org has teamed up with AARPFoundation’s Mentor Up Program to launch the second year of the Grandparents Gone Wired campaign, which asks young people to help seniors stay connected to family and friends by teaching a grandparent or other elderly adult how to use current tech trends like smartphones, social media, video chat, and email.
Participants can not only improve the life of a senior citizen, but earn a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship for school.
