Remember me telling you that many organizations give away scholarships and they all come up with creative ways to do so? Well, this is a great example of this. According to their website, Eve’s Addiction deals with exquisite sterling silver jewelry and they have devised a $1,000 scholarship opportunity for high school seniors and college students. To apply simply write a 500-word essay answering one of the following questions: (1) How can the Web give a company a competitive advantage? Or (2) How will you use your “personal shine” to make a difference? So here’s a great opportunity to do a little Christmas shopping and work on your scholarship applications at the same time! Deadline: December 15, 2013.
Just make a video!
