College Knowledge: Free money anyone?

Did you know that Fanshawe has a variety of awards to give away? Were you aware that Fanshawe has an Awards and Scholarships office to help you succeed and give you a boost forward into the future? Now is the time to check it out, because you may qualify for a cash prize from the Post Secondary-Wide Awards program! There are awards available for students graduating in June and those still progressing through their program. Recipients are selected based on academic excellence and/or college and community accomplishments. Not sure if you qualify? You can easily review the selection criteria, which is clearly indicated at the top of each application.

Not only would you be receiving free money, you would be recognized by your college, community and peers. This is your chance to polish those valuable writing and interviewing skills, network with college and community members, and add a noteworthy achievement to your resume. Don't hesitate or you could be passing up a valuable opportunity to advance your educational and professional career!

Where do you go to reap these fantastic benefits? Visit the Fanshawe College website at www.fanshawec.ca/postsec to review and print the application forms. Complete the application, write a short essay and have your finished package endorsed by someone at the college. Instructions are indicated on the form. The process is easy and the outcome is substantial. You can even apply for up to three different awards … but just like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play.

So what are you waiting for? If you excel academically, if you're involved in student union/student life activities, if you volunteer in the community or at Fanshawe College, if you possess leadership qualities or if you've overcome significant obstacles to get where you are today, this is your chance for free money and awesome recognition. APPLY NOW! The deadline for applications is Friday, February 25. Reward yourself for a job well done. The College's Award Selection Subcommittee is anticipating your submissions. Deliver your application for review to the Awards and Scholarships office, Room K1003 (London Campus) on or before the deadline and give yourself a chance to shine. You deserve it.
