Folks,

Tonight we sleep…tomorrow someone wins $10,000!!  Get excited, cause we are!

In all seriousness, we want all you guys to rest easy knowing you put your best work into earning points for free scholarships.  We’re proud of you!  And we know whoever winds up being the lucky duck tomorrow will be well-deserved.  So even if you aren’t the big winner, you can know your participation (each and every one of you) is the reason we’re able to keep this excellent program going!  So from myself, and from tomorrow’s winner, THANK YOU.  We honestly couldn’t do it without you.

In case you missed it, there are still some last ditch ways to maximize your points in the $10k.  Remember, at 11:59:59 PM tonight, the March 10k entry is closed.  Don’t forget to enter your points if you’ve been hoarding!  The next one is in July!

Give yourself a hand.  Comments, as always, are more than welcome (downright encouraged!)

Have You Entered the Student Loan Network $10,000 Scholarship?

The Student Loan Network is awarding a $10,000 scholarship to one lucky ScholarshipPoints member this July.

When federal financial aid, student loans, and credit cards don’t quite add up to your total cost of education, sometimes you really need these scholarships to get by. So back to the question: are you entered? If not, by all means, enter the $10,000 scholarship!

Have you earned all the points you can?

For everyone new to ScholarshipPoints – We run a 100% free program for students of all ages to participate in simple activities (reading blogs, surveys, etc) to earn points and enter them into monthly scholarships! Each activity will have a special point code that you enter once you’re logged in. Each point counts as one entry — so the more points you enter, the better your chances! With the $10,000 Scholarship rapidly approaching, you’ll definitely want to take a look at some of the activities below:

What do I do next?

Once you’ve logged in and piled on the points, enter them into the scholarships of your choosing by visiting this page. Someone is going to win this month; it can only be you if you’re entered! The 10K winner will be announced Monday, August 3.

And for 25 points: 10KISTHEWAY

Happy Wednesday everybody,

As happy as I was to report on our 250,000 member milestone a few weeks ago, I am positively THRILLED to see that as of right now, 302,512 of you buggers have found your way through ScholarshipPoints.  Captain J officially beckons you for a round of applause for the folks behind the scenes here at ScholarshipPoints – they work hard as heck to make sure you guys are all getting great chances at free scholarships.

Now, down to business…

Remember that Universum survey you did a ways back?  The longish thing that talked about companies to work for, career paths, your school etc?  Well, feedback has been great so far, and we hope it was helpful for you guys.  I know one thing’s for sure, it’s going to be helpful to one of 3 lucky people this month!  No one claimed their prize, so yet again (and again!), we’ve drawn NEW WINNERS.

Attention:

The winners of February’s Universum $1,000 Scholarship can be seen HERE.  And here. (Here too).

Follow the directions on the winner’s page.  You must respond within 3 days with the required information if your name is on that page.  I’m waiting to hear from you!

It is high school students, and not the schools, that are doing the rejecting these days. And not because they don’t want to go to school, but because they can not afford to. The economic downturn has student hopefuls putting the breaks on their education, at least at the pricey institutions.
The market volatility has forced [...]

The Pell Grants are set to receive a much needed face lift in the coming years, but at what cost?
All undergraduate students first became eligible for the Pell Grant in 1976-77. The maximum allotment at that time was $1,400, which covered 70% of the cost of tuition. For the 2009-2010 academic year the maximum allotment [...]

Folks,

For all of you ScholarshipPoints veterans, you’ll remember the old monthly ZoomPanel scholarship.  The deal was, you joined ZoomPanel by signing up on a form, took a short survey, and voila – you were entered in an exclusive scholarship drawing.  Well, that was all well and good until people kept re-submitting their information over and over and over (if you recall, you could only enter ONCE).

So, in response to all the tweaking and chatter of the ZoomPanel program the last few months, we’ve decided to bring a scholarship back!!  To avoid any further confusion moving forward, here are the terms:

How to Enter

• Fill out accurate information on the ZoomPanel form (you must be 18 or over to enter) – Click here!
• Check your e-mail inbox – because within a minute or two, ZoomPanel will e-mail you a short welcome survey to fill out.
• Complete this survey and you’re entered!

***Note you must complete the survey ZoomPanel e-mails you to be entered.

What you get

• You are then entered to win an additional $500 scholarship every month
• Your first 50 ZoomPanel points to use towards electronics, movies, music, and other cool stuff.

While we’re at it, we made another change for all of you that had a tough time signing up with ZoomPanel and getting your 5x login points.  Soon, every ScholarshipPoints member will get 5 points for their daily logins!  I’ve said it before, it pays to log in.

Additionally, if you’ve already joined ZoomPanel through us at any point, you’re automatically entered into the $500 scholarship.

That’s all for now.  To learn more about the ZoomPanel program, click here.

Before I forget, I still haven’t heard from the Student Platinum $2500 February winner.  The current winners listed on the winner’s page have until tomorrow, March 10th to get in touch with me to claim their prize.  Otherwise, NEW WINNERS WILL BE UP TOMORROW, 3/10 @ 4:00 PM.  Check back in to see if you’ve won!

Just so we’re all clear, I HATE picking new winners.  I want everybody to be checking in on the drawing date for their name and I want every original member rightfully chosen as the winner to claim their prize!  Unfortunately people forget, get lazy, or whatever, and now we get all of this interesting drama!!  Looks like being an active Scholarship Points member really pays off, huh?

SO, with that, I’m letting you know that we have officially chosen NEW Scholarship Winners

I repeat, the only way to see if you’re a winner is to view the Winner’s Page HERE

• And while we’re at it, if you’re name is NOT on the winner’s page at the drawing date, please don’t e-mail me telling me you’re a winner.  I won’t accidentally mail you a check for the scholarship.  This just clogs my inbox and makes me want to go Captain J on your you know what.
• But if your name is on the winner’s list, for the love of all that is holy please e-mail me!  The directions on what to do are on the winner’s page.  It’s $2500 bucks we’re talking about here, sheesh!

And if none of these 3 winners contact me, I’m choosing new ones on March 10th.  Happy ScholarshipPointing!
