\"usWe all know that paying for college tuition costs a pretty penny.\u00a0 Here at ScholarshipOwl we\u2019ve been helping students win as much financial aid as possible. In addition to helping students apply to thousands of scholarships with one application, we recently<\/span> started giving away \u201cbonus scholarships\u201d<\/span><\/a> as a reward for winning grants using our site. \u00a0We\u2019re proud to announce that recently a student took us up on our offer. Her story is inspiring so we thought we\u2019d share.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus and Perseverance<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"molli<\/p>\n

Molli C. of Sonora, California is the first person in her family to hold a degree and is currently studying for her Master\u2019s degree in Educational Leadership and Administration. Neither one of her parents completed high school<\/span>,<\/span> so she understood from a very young age that she would have to rely on herself to get through college. To save for college, she worked various odd jobs. \u00a0She even entered pageants in attempt to score some money to help pay for school. Although she did win Miss Congeniality, it wasn’t quite enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus Scholarship<\/span><\/h2>\n

After saving up and completing her Bachelor’s degree, Molli found herself back at square one. Recently, Molli\u00a0<\/span>was looking for more prize money, this time to fund her Master\u2019s degree. Using <\/span>ScholarshipOwl<\/span><\/a>, Molli applied to a scholarship and w<\/span>on the grand prize, receiving $15,000 towards her education.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon winning her scholarship via our site, Molli simply let us know, and just like that, we gave her an extra $1,000, bringing her total prize winnings to an impressive $16,000.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re thrilled that we were able to make college a little more affordable for Molli. Winning a scholarship is amazin<\/span>g, and getting an easy extra $1,000 doesn\u2019t hurt either. We hope we\u2019re able to succeed in our mission of helping young students afford an otherwise expensive college education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
