All schools that request an application will be added to our mailing list for our next scholarship season. All requests must come from educators or school administrators. Requests cannot be made for individual students, nor can applications be sent to students’ homes or personal emails.

  • Any school that has previously received an application
  • Any school in Maryland, Delaware, or Washington, DC
  • Any school in the Pittsburgh Public School District, Atlanta Public School District, Indianapolis Public School District, or Battle Creek (Michigan) Public School District

*If you are in one of these categories and the contact information for your school has changed (i.e. new principal, different contact person, etc.) please email Katie@carsonscholars.org

All educators are welcome to request an application. Educators can request an application by completing the Application Request Form below. At this time, our school nomination procedures do not allow homeschool parents or tutors to request applications unless all qualifying conditions as outlined in the Goals of the Carson Scholars Program are met.

Suggest that they request an application for your school by contacting katie@carsonscholars.org and following the instructions above.

Thomas Law Offices Offering $1,000 College Scholarship

Thomas Law Offices, a personal injury law firm in Louisville, Kentucky, is happy to announce that we’re now offering a once-yearly $1,000 scholarship to students who are currently attending or plan to attend their first year of college or graduate school in the upcoming semester. The rising costs of education are continuing to be a hardship many students struggle to overcome. Our Louisville, KY personal injury lawyers believe that by helping students overcome those struggles, our world can become a brighter place for future generations. This scholarship gives us an opportunity to do just that.

Scholarship Details and Guidelines

  • Students can be attending or planning to attend any college or graduate school in the United States.
  • Applicants can be pursuing any degree.
  • All applicants must be attending or plan on attending for their first year.
  • As proof of your first-year status, you will need to submit a digital copy of your acceptance letter—complete with the college letterhead—from that college.
  • This year’s scholarship will be rewarded for the semester beginning January 2017.
  • All applications are due by December 15, 2016.

Essay Topic

To apply, you’ll need to submit a 500+ word essay on the following topic:

How can we, as a nation and global community, lower the risks of texting and driving?

Once the application period closes, Thomas Law Offices will determine a winner based on the following factors: feasibility, originality, creativity, and the applicant’s level of knowledge in the topic as well as their ability to write a well-crafted essay. We aren’t necessarily looking for an “A”-grade essay from an English or law student, but rather an essay that explores the topic uniquely—one that perhaps encourages drivers to think about the dangers of texting and driving accidents in a new way.

By submitting your essay to us, you agree that your essay may be featured on our blog. We will publish the winning essay as well as a couple of the top contenders. We’ll let you know if your essay is chosen for publication. Published essays may appear with minor edits in place.

In the body of your email include your name, address, phone number, and the name of your current/planned school. Feel free to include a brief paragraph telling us about yourself and your career-related goals, but this part doesn’t need to be very long or detailed. The essay should be attached as either a .DOC, .DOCX, .PDF, or .RTF, or included in the body of the email.

Send all applications and questions to scholarship@thomaslawoffices.com. We look forward to reading your applications!

  1. Scholarships for New First-Time Freshmen:Initial Eligibility Requirements:Xavier University of Louisiana seeks to recognize outstanding academic achievement through the scholarship awards process. When making scholarship awards, the University uses a holistic assessment of a student’s completed admissions application. While all submitted information is considered during our scholarship review process, strongest consideration is given to the student’s academic record. Primary consideration is given to those students who have submitted a completed application by January 31. Students who submit a completed application after January 31 will be considered for scholarships on a funds-available basis. Students who have met the January 31 deadline will be notified no later than the end of February if they have received a scholarship. Acceptance of a scholarship offer must occur by the deadline date indicated in the scholarship awards packet.

Please note that the scholarship awards process for Xavier is competitive. Unfortunately, Xavier University of Louisiana is not able to award scholarships to all students who present strong academic records. We strongly encourage all students to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This allows the university to determine eligibility for need-based financial aid including grants, loans and work-study.

Included below is a list of available scholarship programs for first year freshmen. These awards vary in amounts and are renewable for eight consecutive semesters and contingent on the student’s full-time enrollment and maintaining the University’s required cumulative grade-point average.

Parents and/or students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens who receive Xavier institutional scholarships must annually have on file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Guidelines established by the University’s Office of Student Financial Aid, in accordance with federal and state regulations, will be utilized to calculate the student’s financial aid amount and direct cost of education.

The sum of institutionally administered or affiliated scholarships, federal grants, state awards, and waivers shall not exceed a recipient’s direct costs (tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board). Should the institutional scholarship, when combined with the previously described resources, exceed the direct cost, the amount of the University’s institutional scholarship shall be adjusted accordingly.

BrokeScholar Scholarship Search Engine

WHAT IS BROKESCHOLAR?

Welcome to BrokeScholar, the home of information regarding millions of college scholarships, grants and fellowships. Any student can use this free service to help find third party scholarships and grant money for school.

Our goal is to make the process as painless and smooth as possible for existing and new college students using our site. It’s already a daunting enough task to have to write essays and jump through other hoops to qualify which is why the process of finding and organizing your prospects should require as little thought as possible. That’s where we come in and pour some rocket fuel on your scholarship search and help keep it all organized neatly.

-Search literally millions of free scholarships, grants, and fellowships
-Search gender, by study area, ethnicity, and more
-Review our customized due date calendar to help manage your applications and deadlines

DID YOU KNOW?

You should not have to pay an application fee for a scholarship! That’s right, it should always be 100% free. If it’s not then you know to hit the back button immediately. You’d be surprised at how many sites are out there trying to take advantage of new students. So be on your toes and be sure to do your homework on any other sites you use that ask for an excessive amount of personal information.

Remember it’s never too early to start looking for financial aid. While you can miss a deadline, having extra time to work on your app isn’t going to hurt you. Also keep in mind that you don’t have to be at the top of your class to qualify, actually going through the process of submitting your application is half of the battle. It’s crazy how many people give up without even actually putting themselves out there.

In addition to BrokeScholar, you may want to use other free scholarship websites to increase your chances of finding more opportunities. Lastly to find local awards that aren’t listed in books or databases, look for notices posted on bulletin boards at your high school’s guidance office, the public library and outside the financial aid office of nearby colleges and universities.

WE ALSO HELP STUDENTS SAVE ON BOOKS

As part of our mission here at BrokeScholar we have partnered with the most popular textbook companies to help students minimize their book costs. We’ve taken it a step further by offering the latest coupons for top college related brands. If you’re looking to save on your books, check out Abebooks for their book marketplace, Chegg for their rentals, and Cengagebrain for their digital options. This should help you simplify the process and get the best possible savings.
