Learning something new every day!

About Me...

In June 2007 I decided to look into returning to school for my Bachelor's degree. I had been managing okay with my Associate's degree, but the idea of moving back home [South Florida] without more education under my belt was not so appealing. By the end of July I had started my first class. Two years later I am five classes away from completing that degree and my oldest child is about to start her college journey. View my complete profile

About This Blog...

With this blog I hope to share some of what I have learned through my experiences as an online student and now, mom of a college student. Here you will find great scholarships, student deals, and other information to help with your voyage into higher education. Happy Studying!

This one ends November 1st and is super simple to enter. Really, it takes seconds.

Just head on over to FastWeb and register if you do not have an account. It is free and a great resource for scholarships, internships, and just about anything to do with college.

If you already have an account, then click here to be taken directly to the entry page. This is considered a scholarship and, yes, that makes a difference to you or your parents when it comes time to file those tax returns.

What can you win? Good question. Does $1,500 sound good to you? That will pay for some of those really expensive textbooks, or you can make that stretch even further and check out Chegg.com. [Just click on my link at the top right of this page and save an additional 5% when you rent your books from Chegg.] See, now you've just stretched that $1,500 even further!
