This scholarship is for Latino students who demonstrate financial need.  This scholarship is primarily aimed at first-year college students, however, undergraduate and graduate students are also encouraged to apply.  A 2.5 GPA is not required, but highly recommended.  This scholarship is focused on those students who are immigrants and of a lower socioeconomic status, but all Latino students are encouraged to apply.  Non-US citizens and undocumented students are eligible to apply.

Woman's Day Contest

$5,000

Although scholarships are the major source of money for college, don't overlook the many opportunites for cash via magazine contests.

 

The September issue of Woman's Day has a 1st prize of $5,000, 2nd place of $500 American Express Gift Card and ten runner-up winners will receive $100 in American Cexpress Gift Cards.

 

OK, so this is what you need to do:

Visit septembersurvey.womansday.com

Then read the magazine and tell them what you liked and what you didn't like.  What topics do you wish they would cover?
