$1,000 ChooseWhat Self Employment Scholarship

Deadlines: April 1, 2018; Nov. 1, 2018

Selected criteria from above:

“Have you ever earned money as a contractor or a small business owner? If so, this scholarship opportunity is for you.

If you are a qualifying student (see “who can apply” section below), you may submit a 750 to 1,500 word essay describing how your experience working for yourself as either a contractor or small business owner has impacted your view of education and your future. The winning application will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

Who can apply?

Any undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in a degree program at any accredited American College, University or Trade School with self employment experience may apply. For purposes of this scholarship, self employment experience simply means that you or a business you started were paid directly for your work. Here are some examples of common types of self employment:

• Mowing lawns for neighbors
• Tutoring students
• Babysitting services for families
• Hanging Christmas lights for neighbors
• Starting a business of any kind

Payment for work received from an employer is not self-employment. This includes work compensated in the form of tips. Here are some examples of employment that do not qualify:

• Waiting tables for a restaurant
• Bar tending
• Any salaried job

Only one submission per student is allowed.”
