Looking for Scholarships, Internships, and other Government Programs using Benefits.gov

https://www.benefits.gov/

Started in 2002, Benefits.gov has become the portal for information about government benefits, which  includes state information.

Students,  and also parents, can choose to answer questions in the Benefit Finder Tool and find benefits, including scholarships, internships, and government programs, they can apply for.

Some programs I saw in the past:

Clinical Research Loan Repayment Program for Individuals,

Disadvantaged Backgrounds and Advanced Education Nursing Traineeships, and

Undergrad Scholarship Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds,  in which “individuals must pursue a course of study which prepares them for professions needed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The maximum scholarship per academic year is $20,000. Scholarship funds may only be used for tuition/educational and living expenses incurred while attending school.”

In other words, use this resource!

TUITION PRIZES

$100,000 in tuition — Dr Pepper selects finalists to compete during throw-offs at NCAA conference championship games.”

Official Rules: https://www.drpeppertuition.com/official_rules.pdf

By reading the official rules, you can get more details about how the videos will be judged and how to best make sure you aren’t disqualified (for example, you are only allowed one goal and you “may not use more than one name or residential or email address. Once a video is submitted, the video cannot be replaced or altered. Only one video, one time, per person.”

Knowing you can only submit one video, you want to make sure you understand how the video will be judged and plan it a little.

One student in Tennessee created a video and did get a chance for the $100,000 scholarship; with planning and practice, she received $100,000, which she will use to finish paying her undergraduate education and pay for graduate education as well.

I would love to see a student at Tennessee State University be one of the future scholarship winners!
