We have great news for those of you you are heading back to college in a few days for the spring semester: Goedeker’s is offering a $500 scholarship for books for the fall 2014 semester!
We at Goedeker’s know that our community’s future depends on quality educational opportunities for the next generation. We also realize that getting money for tuition and living expenses only gets you so far, once you see that your books for a year of college can cost as much as a major appliance.
To ease that burden, we are awarding a $500 college book scholarship and two $100 book scholarships for three students who can demonstrate to use their commitment and understanding to the importance of the college education they are pursuing and their field of study.
In addition, the winner and honorable mentions will be featured on the Goedeker’s Home Life blog!
Our wish is that these scholarships will ease the stress of paying for college expenses for committed and promising students, whatever their field of study. Our hope is that by helping students pursue their valuable education goals, we can help make a positive change in the world.
Entrants should have a 3.0 GPA or better, and send us a 300 word essay on why attending college and your major are important to you. A valid student ID for the spring semester is also required to prove your current enrollment.
There’s a few days of your holiday break left to get started on that 300 word essay – your professors will probably assign longer papers for weekend assignments later. And this essay could take care of your books for the rest of the year!
I should mention that high school students and homeschool students that are currently enrolled in a dual-credit program at an accredited college or university are eligible to enter as well. Transfer, non-traditional, and online students are welcome as well, as long as you are enrolled in an accredited university or college. The idea is that if you are making progress on your post-highschool education, we want to encourage your pursuit!
The deadline for entry is July 31, 2014 at 12am CDT, but don’t put this off too long! The winners will be announced in August.
