Frequently asked questions
What is the $2,000 scholarship?
It’s our monthly $2,000 scholarship contest. We select a winner each month and award them a $2,000 scholarship to help pay for their college journey. To apply, all you need to do is fill out a few questions on the scholarship application and submit. No essay is required.
How are winners chosen?
Each month, we select a winner at random from all the applicants who applied during that month.
How are the scholarship winnings paid out?
Once the potential winner is selected, US Sweeps, our scholarship administration partner, will contact them to finalize and confirm the win. In partnership with US Sweeps, we will contact the student’s school and send the funds directly to that school, and they’ll be deposited into the student’s account. If the winner hasn't enrolled in a school, we hold the funds until they have enrolled, then send the funds directly to the school.
Is the scholarship legitimate?
Absolutely! We select a winner once a month and contact them.
