Does anyone know a good website where I can compete for a scholarship(NOT a college one)? Like a site where you have to write a poem or an essay or do something like that where a load of kids compete for a scholarship?
I have to tell you frankly, most contest sites on the web are looking for personal data they can sell: Names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, etc. The offer a potential "prize" for one of the entrees. Then your junk mail fills up for years. Avoid online "contests".
I know, I've been on loads of sites and I get really excited and think, "yeah, you know? I can win this!", but then you click around and they start asking for tons of information, most of which I am rather reluctant to give because of my age and the people out there in the world today.
So, basically, I'm trying to find a site or an organization or anything where I can get a scholarship by doing something, such as writing an essay...
Does anyone know of such a site or organization that I can check out that is good?
Please help, thanks,
brie
You can look these up by going to www.google.com and entering <b>essay contest scholarship</b> and see what comes up.
Be VERY careful, though; I think Bobpursley is absolutely correct. If you're going to try for any of these, be sure to go only with known-reputation sites (www.aynrand.org and us.penguingroup.com, for example).
