This 300-Word Essay Could Be Your Ticket to a $1,000 College Scholarship

Good scholarship opportunities can be hard to find.

So when one does pop up, we like to bring it to your attention right here, right now, regardless of how far out the application deadline and subsequent winner announcement may be.

I mean, you could spend the next several months polishing and re-polishing your entrance essay, but in my humble opinion, it would actually be way more gratifying to apply for a scholarship months in advance and then forget about it, only to wake up one morning to an email saying, “You just won $1,000!”

Right?

Right.

So here’s one with a pretty far-off deadline — but a pretty sweet prize.
