There is a scholarship (or many scholarships) out there for everyone. In this week’s Scholarship Spotlight, we look at the Paula Kovarick Segalman Family Scholarship Fund for ALS. The costs associated with caring for a loved one who has been diagnosed with ALS place a real financial hardship on a family. This renewable scholarship opportunity of up to $25,000 is for students who live in Washington, DC, Maryland or Virginia and whose parent or legal guardian has been diagnosed with ALS. For more information on the Paula Kovarick Segalman Family Scholarship Fund for ALS, check out the College Coach Insider Blog at blog.getintocollege.com.
There is a scholarship (or many scholarships) out there for everyone. Every student has some skill, interest, experience, or characteristic that may make them an attractive candidate for one scholarship or another. And while we often refer to scholarships as “free money,” scholarships don’t actually come for free. It takes work to thoughtfully consider your strengths and research the scholarships that might be most appropriate for you. While the effort that goes into finding and winning scholarships may be akin to a part-time job, we at College Coach want to make your job a little easier. This on-going scholarship series highlights a new scholarship each week. Check out the below, along with the other posts in the series, and you may discover a funding resource that will make covering that college bill a little (or a lot!) easier.
The costs associated with caring for a loved one who has been diagnosed with ALS place a real financial hardship on a family. This renewable scholarship opportunity acknowledges that hardship and offers financial assistance to college students who are affected by ALS.
