Cash Money

Something to do between Connect modules, or potentially to occupy time during more snowy days:

• I just found this website, and it rocks: http://www.zinch.com – check out the weekly three sentence essay contest for a $1000 scholarship!
• Totally forgot to study? Cappex’s $1,000 “A GPA Isn’t Everything” scholarship contest can save the day!
• Mmmm…candy. Mmmm…money.  The American Association of Candy Technologists forks it over for students with a sweet tooth
• This one’s for the ladies: As Snoop Dogg says, “Calgon, Calgon, take me away, I’m in the dirty dirty with my nephew J.”  The Calgon Take Me Away to College Contest awards scholarships to female students who are so fresh and so clean, clean
• This is not a joke: American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship Program for ALL students, regardless of GPA or financial status
• This is also not a joke: The Klingon Language Institute Kor Memorial Scholarship (yes, you read that correctly) for students interested in various language studies
• The truth is out there, and the truth is the Parapsychology Foundation offers scholarships and grants to students interested in parapsychology (for those who can’t read minds, parapsychology is the study of paranormal activity)

Just try telling me you don’t qualify…

I have heard many of you say things like “I could never get a scholarship” or “I would never qualify” or something similar…and, you’re wrong. Want an example? Try this one! I’ll continue to randomly post funding links – hopefully, you’ll be inspired to begin searching yourself!
