NFIB Scholarship Opportunity. Big, easy money.
The recent informative College-Startup post regarding the blogging scholarship application deadline that has since passed reminded me of the NFIB scholarship that I have alluded to numerous times while blogging here. NFIB is a national small business association that offers an annual YEA award (Young Entrepreneur Award) that can provide $1,000 to $10,000 in tuition assistance for high school seniors.
Complete information can be found online at the Young Entrepreneur Award’s website. The Deadline is December 15.
This scholarship is intended for entrepreneur minded people, regardless if you actually own a business. Through the large, awesome facebook group of winners from previous years, there are many entrepreneurs and many bright students that just show promise that win the award. I personally know winners from both categories of people. So nobody reading this blog has an excuse not to apply for this scholarship if you meet the requirements, since all you need is the entrepreneurial spirit.
Most importantly, do not be timid to apply, especially if you have an online based business or a venture that doesn’t seem ’serious enough’ - like lawn mowing or a tiny freelance computer repair business. I think 75% of winners have such businesses, so you’ll have a good chance with a well written paper and good application.
After reading about the award a couple years ago, I too thought there’s no way in chance of getting it since my business was hardly a business, and it would be easier not to seek out a reference. Then I applied, then I won, and then I received a national NFIB award.
So if I haven’t got my point across, apply for NFIB if you can, or inform business minded students to do so. NFIB has a large bankroll that it’s dying to disperse to entre candidates. So December 15 get your app in, and comment thanking me when you win.
