UPromise is sponsoring three $10,000 scholarships to be awarded this spring. To enter, participants must create a 30-second or less video clip on why they or someone they know deserve money for college. UPromise is offering a creative opportunity for future, current and even recent graduates to win $10,000 toward higher education expenses.
The Tuition Tales contest – three $10,000 scholarships from UPromise
Submit a video: The videos will be judged on creativity, quality, and a demonstrated need for college aid in three categories: Saving for College, In College Now and Paying it Back. Upromise will grant three grand prize winners – one from each category – $10,000 each to use for college.
Other prizes include twelve (12) $250 scholarships.
Here is a quote from the Tuition Tales page:
The Upromise Tuition Tales Video Contest gives students, parents, grandparents, graduates – essentially everyone – a chance to win money to help pay for the rising costs of higher education. In contrast to typical college scholarships, grants and loans, this contest adds fun and creativity to the college funding process. Contest participants can enter from March 24 to May 3, 2009, on behalf of themselves, a family member or friend, by uploading a 30-seconds-or-less video clip on why they or someone they know deserve money for college. The public will have a chance to vote for their favorite video and help decide who wins. The twelve videos with the most votes will receive a $250 Bed Bath & Beyond® Gift Card and a $250 Bank of America® Visa® Gift Card and enter the final voting phase, May 12-May 20. Three grand prize winners will each be awarded $10,000 for college expenses.
Contest ends May 3, 2009.
