Top 10 Scholarships of 2010
It is possible to find money for school! Getting a degree has become extremely expensive. In fact, so much so that even if a student receives a lucrative financial aid package it still is not enough to cover tuition, books and other fees. Wouldn’t you like to have your education funded? The following is a list of 10 companies that fund education.
1. AT&T

The AT&T Labs Fellowship Program awards scholarships and grants to women and minority post-graduate students. The AT&T Foundation has also announced a new scholarship program offered in conjunction with UNCF to provide scholarships for African-American children or stepchildren of regular full-time employees of AT&T, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries.
2. Bank of America

Bank of America Joe Martin Scholarship program is a competitive scholarship program available for college or vocational schools to dependents of associates who have been employed by Bank of America for at least 1 year. Dependents of deceased, disabled, or retired associates also are eligible. Awards range from $1,000 to $5,000 for each year of full-time study. Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, leadership, contributions to school and community, character, and financial need.
3. Best Buy

Best Buy’s @15 Scholarship Program is awarding $1,500 in scholarship money to 1,000 students living in the United States and Puerto Rico. Students who will be entering college in the fall after graduating from high school will be eligible for this scholarship. Students should demonstrate excellent academic achievements, volunteer efforts and work experience. Best Buy wants to help you to prepare for a brighter future by awarding you money for college tuition.
4. Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola is one of the largest, most familiar Fortune 500 companies on the globe. Not only does Coca-Cola award a number of scholarships to graduating high school students pursuing 4-year degrees, but the company also has established a program that is designed explicitly for students who will attend 2-year colleges-The Johnson Legacy Scholarship Program.
5. ExxonMobil Corporation

ExxonMobile in partnership with SECME schools awards scholarships annually to minority students who are heading to programs in fields of math and engineering fields that have historically lacked in diversity. Mobil Delvac, another segment of the corporation, awards Agricultural Scholarships for students studying in an agricultural program.
6. Ford Motor

Society of Manufacturing Engineers Ford PAS Scholarships offers three $10,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors who have also participated in the PAS program. The Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies (PAS) program fits high school students into informal internship or mentor situations where they may observe and learn from business people and academics. PAS emphasizes the underrepresented students and promotes their education in the sciences, engineering, math and technical fields.
7. General Electric (GE)/LULAC Scholarship

Applicant must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident and a minority student enrolled in full-time studies leading to a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university in the U.S. and have a minimum 3.25 GPA.

The scholarships are available for either four-year or two-year colleges.

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
Very Good. Thanks!
Interesting read! I also found something similar you may want to check out, its about getting GPA Scholarships with just having a 2.5 GPA or higher.

This is a very good post. It is very helpful for people who are struggling from finding the best scholarship. The multiple choices when it comes to scholarships and grants often make the process even more painstaking. Thankfully, this post manages to provide several scholarships for this year. I know this means a lot to many students out there. All these scholarships are as good as the scholarships provided by the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which has awarded more than $300M to needy students. I hope people and foundations continue to provide such help and support to many students in need from all over the world.
Thanks everyone for stopping by and leaving your valuable comments. Student Loan Blog really appreciate your views.
