Avoid High Student Loan Debt With Scholarships
A group of 25 Badin, Ohio, high school students recently earned six figure scholarships. Referred to by the Journal News in Dayton as members of the “100,000 Scholarship Club,” the seniors in this mid-western community were honored in May for being awarded $100,000 and more in scholarships. They happen to be in good company. Searching for online degree program shouldn’t require much time or energy, and it could prove to be worth the effort.
Shayla Price of Thibodaux, La., also received more than $100,000 in scholarships. Searching the Internet and filling out applications, she succeeded with 80 percent of those she applied for, earning monies in the amounts of $100 to $40,000, according to an article in the Black Collegiate. In Pacolete, S.C., high school senior Matthew Lee in May was named one of 10 finalists in a Proton Energy Scholarship competition that earned him a $100,000 scholarship, an article on the website SC Now noted. Proton Energy is a global hydrogen energy company owned by entrepreneur and Lumber Liquidators Founder Tom Sullivan. Lee and his fellow finalists were recognized for their achievements and promise in technology and science and for wanting to move on to studies in these areas. Additional high paying scholarships include:
Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology: Awards up to $100,000 scholarships for high school students entering research projects individually or in teams. Regional winners move on to national finals.

Distinguished Young Women (formerly America’s Junior Miss): Idaho’s Madison Leonard, Miss Distinguished Young Woman of America, was crowned in June 2010 and was provided with a bit over $90,000 in cash, scholarship money and prizes. The breakdown: $40,000 in pageant scholarship money, $41,000 in cash and scholarships for winning a preliminary talent competition and $9,100 in state and local program prizes. Before taking the next step in your life you should consider searching for college degrees to get more info.
Jack Kent Cook Foundation: The Jack Kent Cook Foundation offers educational programs for students as early as middle school and provides scholarships at the undergraduate and graduate level. Undergraduates and transfer students at two-year institutions in 2010 competed in financial needs-based scholarship programs that provide up to $30,000 a year, while graduate students vied for up to $50,000 as part of a separate scholarship initiative. Philanthropist Jack Kent Cook, who had to forego an athletic scholarship himself after helping to support his family during the Great Depression, went on to become a media mogul, sports team owner and owner of New York City’s Chrysler building. The foundation was established in 2000, after he died and was included it in his will.
Ronald McDonald House Charities: A national scholarship program for Hispanic high school students in 2008 awarded recipients $25,000 a year for four years. Ronald McDonald House Charities also offers local scholarship programs for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, high school seniors in general and students with an Asian-Pacific heritage in instances where chapters are located in the areas where they live. Local chapters provide minimum $1,000 scholarships, according to the Ronald McDonald House Charities website
The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation: Through this federal memorial to the late U.S. President, full-time students in four-year colleges can receive $30,000 toward graduate or professional school studies that can lead careers in government and other areas of public service. Truman scholars, who must be nominated by a faculty representative at the institution where they’re studying, are also provided opportunities to participate in leadership development activities and gain federal government internships and employment. Past scholarship recipients have majored in a variety of subjects, from economics and engineering to environmental science.
While high-dollar scholarships for online degree programs and traditional institutions might seem appealing, experts recommend applying also for scholarships in the $100 range. These scholarships, along with those that are essay-based, might be less competitive, according to experts. As always, applying early is a large part of an application. Investing time and energy in research for distance learning college degree could prove well worth it in the future.
