Scholarship Contest on Fire Sprinklers

Looking for an easy scholarship to enter? Well, this may be the one for you.

This easy scholarship is open to all high school seniors in the US who are US citizens and is not based on financial need. To enter you must read the provided essay on fire sprinklers and then take a 10-question multiple-choice test. This test is open-book, so you may want to print the essay beforehand for reference during testing. Applicants will receive one (1) entry into a drawing for one of ten $2,000 scholarships for each right answer. For each question answered incorrectly, you will be given one more chance at the end of the exam to answer those questions correctly. A total of 10 entries into the drawing is possible if the student answers all of the questions right.

But, do not try to enter more than once, or else you will be disqualified without notice.

Deadline for this easy scholarship is May 3, 2010. To find out more information and to enter this scholarship, go here.

Scholarship for Children of Highway Workers

We may not give much thought to the men and women that we see working at the side of the roads other than how much the construction is tying up traffic, but, unfortunately, these people are sometimes killed or permanently disabled while working their jobs. And this can leave children without parents and a source of income.

This is the reason for the Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship. It is a scholarship program open to children, either biological or adopted, who have had a parent permanently disabled or killed in roadway construction zone accidents and the applicant’s parent must have been employed by a transportation construction firm or a transportation public agency at the time of his or her death or disabling
injury.

The scholarship applicant must also have a GPA of a 2.5, demonstrate a financial need, submit an essay on required topic.

Scholarship application must be postmarked by March 19th in order to be eligible. To find out more information go here.
