“In this economy, students, parents, and families need every possible resource available to make college affordable,” says Joe Cronin, CEO of Edvisors and the Student Loan Network, “Our $10,000 scholarship can make a significant impact in the cost of college. We wanted to make it simple — the application is incredibly fast and easy to complete.”

The various scholarship programs, administered through the innovative Scholarship Points program (www.ScholarshipPoints.com) are designed to provide last minute funding to students directly through their school’s financial aid office. The Scholarship Points program awarded $25,000 in scholarship funds to help support students in 2008.

Today, 293,000 students are part of the Scholarship Points membership rewards program. As part of this program, free of charge, students earn Points each month by participating in surveys and other online activities. Accrued points can be exchanged for entries into that month’s scholarship drawing. The program is open to graduating high school students and current college students. Funds are sent to the student’s financial aid office. Learn more at ScholarshipPoints.com
