This is very thoughtful and kind. See if you can get any banks or schools to do a matching contribution. Even Veritas prep may do a match.
1k in WSO prep and mentorship would go a long way too.
If I had the money, I'd donate some money to WSO for the sake of something like this. Lord knows this site's been more helpful than my bullshit college career counselors.
ha, thanks? :-)
Wow! This is pretty awesome! Thank you so much for doing this, I hope this can become a regular scholarship WSO does :)
At any rate, I actually want to send this to a friend who is currently at a community college, but in the process of applying to universities for her bachelor's (transferring, the usual situation with people who start at community colleges). Would she still be eligible for the scholarship?
Please let me know.
That's the plan - we want this to be ongoing!
The rules are in original post.
Giving a talk to some kids at a school, i will definitely mention this to them. thank you!
Thanks for spreading the word!
