Look at that picture. Last year Haleigh, the one holding the certificate, won $3,000 as the Conrey Insurance Brokers and Risk Managers Entrepreneurial Scholarship recipient. Maybe she used that money to pay off student loans or start a business. Whatever she did with the money is immaterial. What’s important here is that she earned that money and was able to something with it.
What about you? What could you do with an extra $3,000? Maybe you have a lot of debt – that $3,000 would help. Even if you don’t win the $3,000 prize that doesn’t prevent you from winning the $1,000 Steve Keller Memorial Scholarship does it? Even though $1,000 is less than $3,000 I bet you could still figure out how to spend it.
The funny thing is that year in, year out we do not receive a lot of applications for these scholarships. Do you people not like free money? Don’t be like the curmudgeonly baby on that Jimmy Fallon credit card commercial. Sign up for these scholarships!
Here’s the link to the form. Please submit one form along with the necessary supporting paperwork, which is specified on the application, for each scholarship to SGMH 3280. Somebody will surely be in the office during the afternoons from Monday through Thursday. Applications are due by March 2nd, which is just around the corner, so get busy.
