"My aspiration to become a jazz pianist and a music educator had always seemed unattainable simply because of financial issues. With only my mother to provide for a family of six, attending a renowned school of music to further expand my knowledge in music, or to any college for that matter as the cost of going to college continually rises, became a fantasy that would never come true. I knew that in order to pursue my goals, I still have to attend college at the least expense, so that I may ease the burden on my mom; to do that, I had to find scholarships - a lot of them. When I found ScholarshipPoints.com, I was skeptical at first because other scholarship websites did not use point systems to select their winners. Nonetheless, my desperation led me to sitting at the computer carefully calculating how many points I had and at what fraction should I dedicate to each scholarships. Quite honestly, I didn't think it would work! Yet here I am as the winner of this scholarship, which became one of the first signs that there are people out there ready to give money to help YOU receive a better education. I thank you, ScholarshipPoints, for selecting me as a winner! May everyone receive the support that they deserve for all their hard work and dedication, and may everyone succeed in college and their lives as well! Take care!"

"I feel very happy that I was chosen for the Trick or Treat Treasure Scholarship! This money will help me with college. I did not think I would be able to go to college because of the money, but ScholarshipPoints gave me money which I can now do something good and am able to go to college!"

"I’m very honored to have received this scholarship. When I was younger I didn’t think much of scholarships, wasn’t that important to me. Then I started paying for my own tuition, then it became a challenge. Working full time in my off track time and trying to save money is hard, but with this scholarship it’ll ease a huge burden from me that I may able to continue to save and progress in my educational career. This is a huge help, and I’m very happy to be receiving such a scholarship. Shoot high, aim for the moon, and even if you miss, you’ll land upon the stars. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity!"

"I'm currently a pre-nursing student at the University of Georgia, and am in the process of applying to nursing schools. This process and the realization that I don't know what's to come are both stressful. However, I stand with steady belief that everything happens for a reason, and being awarded this financial aid comes as a reminder that there is no need to worry about the future! I encourage everyone (that includes YOU!) to persevere in seeking help to reach incredible goals; ScholarshipPoints.com is a great place to pursue these endeavors! There are many great opportunities to receive help (even if you think you're too busy to apply!). Many thanks, ScholarshipPoints!"

"This was my first time trying to win to get a scholarship and I entered and won. This money will help me to pay for my college education, hopefully at a University after I finish my basics at a community college. The money I have won is the first step on my way to a good future."

"My name is Linda and I work very hard to pay for school in hopes that I will be able to have a good life in the future. When I entered my points into the drawing I did not believe that I would really win anything but I did it anyways. When I received an email saying I won I could not believe it. I will keep earning points and entering the drawing to win scholarships because it does pay off. Thank you Scholarship points for the awesome opportunities!"

I receive unemployment, but it is not much and is soon to be exhausted. I am currently seeking work. This scholarship will help my financial obligations in my educational pursuits. I want to make a difference in the world and stand up on my own two feet. I enjoy helping others. Once I receive my degree, I will be able to have stability in my life and help many people less fortunate. I thank you for choosing me for this scholarship. God bless you all."

"I could not believe I won! When you sign up for scholarshippoints.com, you don’t really think you might win something, you are just trying to win. I was so happy when I found out I won, my heart started to race, and I ran upstairs to tell my sister. I started to search for scholarships last year before the end of my sophomore year. When summer came I did not do anymore searching. When school started up again, I started applying for scholarships. Who would believe it but the first time I applied for a scholarship, I won. I won at scholarshippoints.com. I have a lot of work to do to get more money for college but this is a great start. I want to go to film school so I can be a director. There is a long journey ahead of me but I am ready for the challenge. This scholarship gave me a huge energy boost to get out there and keep trying. You never know if you will win unless you try!"

"I'm so grateful for this scholarship!! I actually graduated high school in 2011. I had to wait to go to school because I didn't have the money. So while all of my friends attended college, I stayed home to help my mother and to save up for school. Financial aid did nothing for me because of the fact that my mother makes too much money but what they do not understand is that she is a single mother with five children. When I won this money, I was super excited especially because I've never won anything in my life!"

"Since coming to college, I have become responsible for paying for more things by myself, and have learned how expensive it is to pay for textbooks and other essentials. I am a freshman at the University of Florida and am majoring in Nursing. This scholarship will help me get to where I need to be in order to successfully complete Nursing school, and, hopefully, graduate school. Many thanks go to ScholarshipPoints for this exciting opportunity!"

"Thank you so much for this opportunity! I cannot express how happy I was when I received the email telling me that I had won 1,000 dollars for college! For me, college is extremely important because I am very passionate about what I wish to study at college. Over the years I have had my fair share of run ins with people in my life that were in desperate need of help, whether it be from depression, grief or even addiction. I have already dedicated my life to helping those in need because it brings me such a great joy to do so! I want to save lives by studying Psychology and becoming a mental health counselor and hopefully opening my own clinic someday. Thanks to ScholarshipPoints I am one step closer to that dream! I have applied to many scholarships and this is the first that I have won! I am so overjoyed and would just like to thank everyone at ScholarshipPoints for helping my dream to become a reality. You truly are wonderful people, thank you!"

Thanks ScholarshipPoints program!"

"Most importantly, thank you so much ScholarshipPoints! I am currently in my second year at WGU working towards my Bachelors degree in Accounting. I originally attended Heald College and graduated in 2009 with an A.A.S in Business with an emphasis in Accounting. When going into employers and telling them I had an A.A.S, no one knew what I was talking about. After drowning in student loan debt, I was not sure about going back to school to get a degree that I could more easily be employed with. Now, with the help of ScholarshipPoints, I am well on my way to a real degree that employers will be familiar with and I can finally be proud of!"

"My name is Blaire Westerman and after graduating from high school more than 10 years ago, I decided to return to school to eventually earn a Bachelors in Philosophy from Ohio State University. I have had to jump through several hoops to get to this point and just yesterday I was feeling really discouraged in the whole process, primarily about how I'm going to pay for my education. I used the last of my ScholarshipPoints to apply for two more scholarships. I'm determined to not give up and my persistence has paid off. This $1,000 scholarship will help me get school going in the right direction from the very beginning! Thanks ScholarshipPoints for this amazing opportunity!!"

"Winning this scholarship means the world to me. I am so thankful I got the opportunity to win this not only for me but also for my family who have stood by my side and supported me with everything. Times can be hard and stressful when you have no idea how to come up with the money to pay for your schooling. With my parents help and support I managed to pull through. If it weren't for them I probably wouldn't be able to be going to school. I know that with this scholarship my parents have a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. I just want to thank God for making all this possible for me."

"My name is Ana Marin and I am a junior in Ave Maria University. First of all I want to thank God and scholarship points for this great opportunity. Being away from home is hard enough, but paying for school gives everyone a lot of stress. This scholarship will help me stay in school and finish my career. I have been struggling for a long time to pay for school but scholarship points gave me this incredible chance. This has been truly the answer to my prayers. ScholarshipPoints has taken a lift off my shoulders! Thank you!"

This scholarship is going toward paying for college when I enter in 2014. I want to pursue in Child Development and in order to achieve that goal I must have enough money to pay for college; because of this scholarship I am one step closer to that goal. Thank you to my friends who referred me and thank you ScholarshipPoints!"

"First of all I would like to say thank you all so much for this opportunity! I have been struggling since 2009 when I graduated from Charlottesville High School. Before I graduated I attended trade school for Culinary Arts....I LOVED IT!! So much I wanted to make a career out of it. So when I graduated my grandmother was real ill and thats who I was living with at the time so when college time rolled around the school closest to me didn't offer culinary classes..and wouldn't for the next 4 years. Now I'm 21 years old, working at a local chocolate shop and Piedmont Virginia Community College finally added a Culinary Arts Associates program and I couldn't be happier. Only problem is paying for school....being that the FAFSA has so many redundant questions about your parents income, I didn't receive much and I don't plan on my parents helping me pay for college or taking out some ridiculous amounts of loans. Here I am thanking ScholarshipPoints loudly, thanks for giving me the chance to extend my career and become somebody who inspires others to create food that speaks."

"Thank you so much ScholarshipPoints! My Name is Cierra "

I want to go to college to get a degree in Christian Ministries, specifically to work with teens and young adults from backgrounds of divorce, abuse, etc…This scholarship will help me to make that possible. Thank-you, again!!!"

This scholarship will help me pay for the study materials and exam registration for the GMAT. Also, I am currently the President-Elect for the SDSU chapter of ALPFA, a student and professional association that promotes diversity in accounting and finance.

When I joined I never knew I would win this scholarship, so I'm really surprised I did. Again, Thank you very much. This scholarship will help me pay for my tuition this year, and help me continue my education to get a Nursing degree. I want to be a nurse in the future because I think this world needs nurses who will administer healthcare to the poor and the needy around the world. I plan to go to the parts of the world where proper healthcare is not practiced. This scholarship makes that goal possible to achieve! Thank you so much, ScholarshipPoints!"

"I'd like to start off by thanking everyone at ScholarshipPoints for this scholarship opportunity! I'm Kevin Martinez and will enter Stanford University this fall as a freshman pursuing my Bachelors of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Figuring how to pay for college tuition is a major concern for anyone looking to take the plunge into higher education, but thanks to the generosity of ScholarshipPoints, I can proudly say I am going to my dream school with a huge burden lifted off my shoulders. I am truly blessed to have this opportunity. Thank you once again, ScholarshipPoints!"

I always have the worry of not being able to pay for college or handling ridiculous loans after graduation. Thanks to this scholarship I will be able to focus on my academics that much more knowing that there are organizations like ScholarshipPoints willing to help. I encourage other ScholarshipPoints members to be persistent and determined because I, too never thought that I would be selected for a scholarship. Once again, thank you very much."

"I'm Sheel Vaniawala and I am so grateful for this scholarship. My current status is of a senior at Grand Blanc High School, about to apply for universities in and out of state. My mother introduced me to this website and I did not realize it was going to be so helpful. We are now going to inform as many people about this website as we can. I'm so thankful for this $500 scholarship and will definitely invest it towards my college because every penny counts.

Thank you again ScholarshipPoints, you made my day!"

"My name is Dai Garner and I am currently attending Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas but Fall 2013 I will be transferring to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas to obtain my bachelor's degree in accounting. Since I've began college, which we all know is not cheap at all but necessary, I have been paying out of pocket for my classes also with the help of student loans. I've always wanted to attend an university ever since I graduated from high school. I've applied, enrolled, packed for school and even attended orientation but the financial aspect has always been a struggle for me that has stopped me from attending. So to reach my goal I've been working two jobs at Wells Fargo bank and Carls Jr.'s to pay my way through school which is becoming stressful and tiring. I actually googled "Scholarships" and that is how I found out about ScholarshipPoints and to be honest I NEVER expected to win because I figured so many people probably have so many more points than I do so they have a better chance, which was not the case. I had just created my profile and began earning points a week before I was selected for the scholarship. The morning I received the email I had to reread it because I just knew it wasn't true, but then no more than a hour later a received a call from a ScholarshipPoints representative telling me to claim my scholarship. I was beyond ecstatic, words can't even explain my level of joy. I want to genuinely thank you ScholarshipPoints for awarding me with a scholarship. I am genuinely grateful. I plan on applying for many more scholarships and hopefully I can be done with student loans because they are starting to add up!”"

"My name is Sara Foreman and I am returning to school to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting.

Thank you ScholarshipPoints for the opportunity to further my education and finally have the career I have wanted for the last 15 years."

"This scholarship will help me pay for tuition for this next academic year. Tuition is over $3,000 a semester at Northern Arizona University, so this scholarship is a good start to covering that cost. I hope to utilize scholarship points more in the future. This will be my final year of college, so in May, I will attain my Bachelor's degree in English literature. Now, I will be able to reach that goal with the help of this scholarship. Thank you Zoompanel and ScholarshipPoints!"

"First and foremost, THANK YOU SCHOLARSHIPPOINTS! You have helped me accomplish my high school goals and this scholarship will most definitely help me pay my way through college.

"I applied for scholarships all over the internet for one simple goal. I wanted to knock off as much of my future debt as I could. Growing up in a struggling family, I learned that staying on top of finances can be the most important element of my future. This scholarship for $1000 will be used in order to allow myself to pursue my dreams with little to no monetary cost.

When I was first in college, I was young and had very little appreciation for the grants and scholarships that were given to me.

Thank you so much, ScholarshipPoints, for providing a great site."

"All throughout high school I was involved in one extracurricular activity after another. From Marching Band and Chess Club, to Funk Band and ComedySportz, I have been a very busy high school-er. Unfortunately this left me very little time to plan or save for college. My last two years of high school I have realized that College is around the corner and I haven't made any sort of monetary plan, and I have been worrying myself to death about how I was going to pay for college, and since I don't want to take out very many loans, I was stumped. When I heard I won this scholarship, some of my stress melted away. This scholarship will help me pay for books and housing and I couldn't be more thankful, Thank you, ScholarshipPoints"

"I am currently going to Texas A"

"I am a Junior Nursing Student at Fairleigh Dickinson University with the aspirations of becoming an Emergency Department Nurse, eventually extending my degree to the level of Doctor of Nurse Practice (DNP), and help all of those in need of my care. My motivation is my patients, who are the strongest power pushing me forward and are the most in need of my care. Thank you ScholarshipPoints, I will use this generosity you have given me to pay for both next semester books and overall education!"

"Throughout high school, I have immersed myself in diverse extracurriculars and rigorous academics, including tennis, marching band, musicals, and several AP classes. As my senior year comes to a close, I would ideally like all my hard work to pay off by being able to go to a college of my choice, based on the best program and what fits me personally. Since I was very young, I've dreamt of becoming a marine biologist. Living in the midwest, far from the best schools with that major, it would be very costly if I were to attend one. Unfortunately I’ve come to realization that my decision relies greatly on financial circumstances. With this scholarship though, my dream school may actually be attainable now, and I am so very grateful for it. Thank you so much ScholarshipPoints, for helping me achieve that dream. It will help remarkably."

As I get more into my college days, this scholarship is going to be very useful for me."
