Forget the Candy Bars, Just Flash Me!

Ever since I can remember, I have been involved in fundraising in one form or another, even in the years before I was involved in educational causes, animal rescue, and missions.

When I was in tenth grade, our Spanish class had the chance to take a trip to Mexico. To raise the money, we did a lot of lawn mowing and babysitting. We also, of course, participated in a few fundraisers. We sold candy bars, but mostly ended up tossing in fifty cents ourselves because we tended to eat them. The wrapping paper fundraiser didn’t quite get off the ground. There were also other ones that we tried, but found out that our cousins and siblings were doing the same fundraisers so our relatives and neighbors were all a bit overwhelmed by it all.

I was just made aware of another school fundraiser. This time, it is to raise fund with an item a lot of people would be eager to buy! To kick off and raise awareness of its personal flash drive school fundraiser, Pexagon is sponsoring Flash Fiesta. From now through June, you can win Win 1,000 Personalized Flash Drives for Your School! Individuals can enter, but the flash drives will be sent to the school they represent.

Scholarships Around the World

March 11th, 2008 User Imagehoundsgood Posted in around the house, education No Comments »

The world’s largest and oldest Private-Sector Scholarship Database is available online at Fastaid.com. My dream is to some day continue what I started with my degree. Life got a little in the way and I keep saying “I will get to it.” There aren’t many things that have changed since I was a freshman (the first time). There are still scams out there of companies charging money to match you with scholarships and not delivering. We just believe them more because they are no longer a “mail in,” but instant gratification online.

If someone in your family is starting their education for the first time, it is worth checking out this free site. If you have been inspired by what you are volunteering for and want to learn more so you can have a greater impact in your chosen field, no matter old you are, there are private and public scholarships for you as well.
