Here at WoWPencils.com, we understand how hard it is for some students to find the money for college and meet multiple educational expenses. Our 2021 Scholarship Program will help a couple of lucky students to solve this problem and ease the burden of funding their college education.
Two winners will be chosen and get scholarships of $300 and $1000 respectively to pay their tuition fees in an accredited U.S. college. What do you need to become a winner? Send us your essay and wait for the deadline when all applications are submitted and your essay is published on our website. After that, voting opens. You can share a link to your essay with your family and friends and ask them to vote for you! The finalists will be selected by a public vote. The essays with the highest total number of votes will win.
College students and high school seniors are encouraged to apply!
