Foreclosure.com College Scholarship Program
OK Builders, Realtors and everyone else in the biz. Do you know of anyone who can use this money? Forward this today! Foreclosure.com Scholarship Program Often, scholarship opportunities also serve as opportunities for students to think about and respond to pressing issues of the day, and one of the problems weighing most heavily on society in the last year has been the global economic crisis. While the recession has begun showing signs of abating, it is still creating serious problems in several areas of life, ranging from paying for school to owning a home. Homeowners have been facing threats of foreclosure due to a combination of factors related to the recession, and this problem could still get worse before it gets better. The real estate website Foreclosure.com is sponsoring a scholarship essay contest that invites college students to propose solutions to the ongoing spike in foreclosures, by writing an essay that best explains "how to solve the foreclosure crisis." Prize Top prize: $5,000. Four runners-up: $1,000 Eligibility Students who are currently enrolled in or have been accepted to an accredited college, university, law school or trade school in the United States. U.S. citizenship is required. Deadline December 31, 2009 Required Material: A completed online scholarship application, along with an essay of 1,000 to 2,500 words addressing the essay topic.
