Learning and Paying it Forward

Bryant & Stratton College has a new scholarship idea: Pay it Forward. Enter the school's new scholarship competition by Dec. 31, 2010 and you may win a full-tuition scholarship for an online associate's degree AND receive a second identical scholarship for a person of your choice.

How cool is that?

Find all of the instructions at www.payitforwardscholarship.com. but here's the skinny:

  • Fill out the application on the Pay It Forward Scholarship website.
  • Write an essay (200-500 words) about how you help your community and who you would give the second scholarship to.
  • That's it. Easy.

Bryant & Stratton will choose the top 10 applicants, based on compelling essays. The school will create videos of those 10 finalists and post them on YouTube. You, your friends, and everyone else out there will have three weeks to vote on the best videos.

The top five applicants will receive full-tuition scholarships to earn an online associate's degree. The remaining five will receive $5,000 scholarships to put toward the online degree of their choice.

What are you waiting for? Let's go pay it forward!
