Scholarship Video Contest at TheWashboard.org

TheWashBoard.org is a free, web-based scholarship clearinghouse that matches Washington scholarship seekers with Washington scholarship providers. Over 80,000 scholarship seekers and 210 providers are registered. This is an excellent source of scholarship funds as more than $28 million is available in awards for next year.

TheWashBoard.org Scholarship Video Contest is an exciting opportunity for students with video skills. This contest is joint effort by theWashBoard.org, Scholarship Junkies, College Spark Washington, and the Northwest Education Loan Association (NELA) to encourage students to engage more actively in their own scholarship search.

Students are invited to create a 60 second video that answers the question Why are scholarships important to you? Washington high school seniors, or current college students, who will enroll in college at least half-time beginning fall 2012, are eligible. Entries may be submitted starting December 15th; the deadline is January 31, 2012.  FAQs, the submission form, and scholarship rules can be found at  www.thewashboardcontest.org.
