Title

Help A Student - Scholarships Made Simple

Description

Let's face it, at some point in our lives the majority of us will need to get a post-secondary education. Only these days you spend thousands of dollars to get it. I for one know how hard a full-time student needs to work to get through the university years. As a second year student at Saint Francis Xavier University I am paying close to $50,000 for my undergraduate degree. I have friends graduating with student loans close to $70,000, that's scary. One of my close friends is working three jobs to pay for tuition, rent and to help support his mom because his father recently became ill. This is when I realized that something had to be done. I know that there are tons of students going through situations just like his and I wanted to get involved in a project that could help these students focus on their books rather than their bank accounts. With tuition costs increasing annually, the average Canadian, American and UK students owe $20,000 CAD (StatCan), $19,202 USD (FinAid) and £13,500 (Thompson, WSWS) respectively.

This scholarship differs from the scholarships you fill out at your high school or university in a variety of ways. Not only is it a fun way to try and earn your tuition money but it doesn't depend on academic merit; it's based on your need for the scholarship and how creatively you present this need to others. Do you know how hard it is to maintain a part-time job while being a full-time student and get great marks? I'm sure the majority of you do. This is where Help A Student comes to the rescue. The goal is to raise one million dollars and award it to the top 100 students that are selected according to their essays. The money will be distributed to the top 100 students in the following way:

I'm hoping that this project will benefit students coming from various social classes and different parts of the world. It's quick and simple and a great way to help you through university so take the time to make your profile today!
